I'm furious at my builders and my chief. Every time I open the game up, half the builders are working on the rubble instead of the bath, and the chief is directing my lone farmer, who is doing JUST FINE on her own, thank you chiefy. :|

I'm tempted to just sit there and micromanage them until the bath gets done, but it's at 79 percent so it would take ages.

I've found it best to only set the builders one task at a time. Otherwise, as you've found out, they'll wander between tasks, and as Murphy's Law says the one you want them to finish first will be the one they spend the least time on. ;\) At least the two tasks you mention are close together so the builders don't spend a lot of valuable time wandering from job to job, as would be the case (say) for the rubble clearance and hut building.

Bunnylover, on the detail screen set the preference to 'building'. Keep putting the villagers on a building task until they are trainee's ( this usually takes about 4 or so successful attempts). You can also use a potion, found in the VV3 guides that will encourage exercise. As we know, exercise can make us stronger and maybe even better buliders! ;\) For any benefit, let them finish their exercise or their task. If they are gaining skill your bottom bar will read 'your villager improved at construction!' or something like that.

Good Luck! \:\)

On my 3rd Tribe, I didn't have them draw the plans for the bath untill I had my 2nd hut built. As you get to 17 and can't have more babies, I wanted them to finish this first. I've learned not to have too many things being built at once. LOL

What I did was not build the last hut until I had the statue requirements. That way I could have them on the hut until they were trainees and then put them on the statue. Remember, once they're trainee, they can work on the statue.

I set them to building, keep dragging them bck when they stop working, make the potion, and they NEVER IMPROVE!!!!!!!!!
