I am having the same problem. My builders are adept - 6 of them and they are now 64 yrs old and since they were 39 I have been dragging them back to the huts and repairing them and even though it says the builder has improved at construction - the line has not moved. I have built every hut, cleared the rock of leaves, cleared the rubble, repaired the bath. There is nothing else I can do to encourage improvement other than repairing the huts and I seriously don't think that 25 years of improvments to the huts can result in no improvement but it appears that way.

I have even gone so far as to mark my monitor with a dry erase marker to see if my adept builder ever improves - thus far - no such luck.

lol, I thought of doing that once but I didn't think my parents would let me =D

To work on the statue your builders don't have to be masters, they only need to bed trainees, I have at least three trainee builders working on my statue, and working on the statue will also give them more skill.

I finished the statue, there is a blue item at the base of the statue that when I drag an adept builder to it, it says "Only a master builder can attempt this". Whatever that means.

And onto another issue...even though I fixed the lift, I cannot get any of my people to figure it out.

For the lift you have to wait till it rains and then quickly drag a villager onto it so it says "Standing on the lift" then the rain will fill up the barrel end and your villager will raise up to the tree and knock down a fruit which you can use to plant another tree. You can only plant two trees though.

That is it?! Well I did manage that much I thought after all the hard work that there was more to it than that. That is kind of a let down...oh well, back to repairing huts for no reason....

ok after an hour more of repairing various huts and seeing "improved in construction" at least 24 times - my adept builder is not any closer to a master builder then when I started. I used to love this game - now I am not so sure that I am going to start over...this stinks.

Aaaargh, please dont say that.... im having the exact same problem.
All my master builders are dead, i've been fixing huts all day to no avail, i've even tried the potion suggestion a few times, but nothing.
I'm just gonna turn the game off till i hope some other bright person comes up with a fab solution....(i hope)

Hey Jazzo that IS the best strategy of all!!

i have 3 master builders...all i have done is clean the leaves..and build one hut
