after 2 days, they dont improve even a millimeter!
Im so furious w/ them!

I know this isn't any help at this point but it is weird you can't get a master.

I do one task at a time, started with 2 builders on hut then up to 3 builders on clearing leaves and 4 once I got to clearing the rubble. I have been spreading out the work with my other villagers as well so they can earn skill in all levels working towards Elders.

I have 4 masters, 3 under the ages of 30 and 3 adept under the age of 25. They were all adept pretty quick into whichever building task I started them in first. Only one of my master builders has done nothing but build, He has been a master for a long time and he just turned 50.

i think they cant improve well from just fixing huts, but there is nothing else (no other building project) that they can do! I wish that they could get better at building by fixing/examining huts. At this point, im NEVER going to get my villagers to be good builders and im NEVER going to complete the statue puzzle unless there is some event that will make one of my villagers good at building !

I agree with the fact that they do not improve as much in building when they fix huts than when they first build the huts. I find it particularly irritating after the puzzles have been completed. I think it's because the chief will not direct fixing huts... but that's just my 2 cents.

Irritating? My 4 Builders got repairing that bath in their heads, and wouldn't do anything else until they were finished. They all became Masters while doing that. Now they are dividing their time between building a second hut and clearing rubble. And the Chief won't direct clearing rubble either...

****bit of a spoiler****



Yes, lloydbug, the chief *will* direct building the huts (Mine is directing right now. I believe the chief will also direct the rubble, but I'm not certain of that one. Just drop the chief on the project just like you would any other villager (to have them work on it). The chief should direct from there.

That's weird that your Chief won't direct clearing the rubble, mine will. But I had to try putting the Chief down in a few different spots before she would direct.

I don't have any huts that need fixing yet as I'm still building them, but my Chief does direct in the building of them.

I tried your potion just for fun and didn't think of assigning them a "skill" - I only keep skills checked until they make Esteemed Elder and Doctor. They ran all over and since I had alot of young learning to fish the food bin is now overflowing! Thanks!! Wish I'd know this when I was loosing people to old age and didn't quite have enough tech points for Level 3 Meds~~

yes I had the problem with the builders not wanting to finish the hut they would keep going back to the bath it was driving me crazy I had no kids and was at max people 17 , it took me over a hour to sit and watch 5 builders finish a hut that was already at 90% everytime they would go to wonder off I would put them back to building the hut , mine is set on easy

where is the 3rd hut?im sorry if i put this questin in the wrong place.i cant get anymore villagers untill i build the 3rd hut.
