I'm trying to build my third hut so I can have more babies. I've got 8 of my 10 adults set as builders and the hut is 80 percent done. Yet everytime I go check, almost every single one of them is watering the field. I move them all back to working on the hut, and as soon as they finish one, they're back to watering the field. I'm starting to really hate that field <grin>.

Builders want to see flowers before they will work on anything else.

How long does it take to water the field?!

It depends on how many people you put on it, There is nothing officical on it ever displayed since it's suppoed to be a Surprise....

It will also depend on what speed you're playing the game on. Try putting the game on 2x for bit if you haven't already, it will speed things up slightly.
