i cant complete the puzzle where u hav to cut the rock, which i believe is puzzle 11. i hav bought all the right tech and everything, just my builders have all died and i do not know how to get the building skill up anymore. so far i hav completed all puzzles up to 8 and built the 1 house

That is actualy #12. Any villager can be taught construction using that puzzle, but you do need a certain level of two tech levels. So if you both of them, then you should be good to go.

no it just says addition research is required

Then your missing something required.

VillageIdiot, there is an amazing similarity between you and your smiley lol....

you need to make at least one of your villagers at least an adept builder (if not master), have them work on the hut they built, that will bring up their skills.

ok well i got it sorted, to complete the puzzle i needed to complete puzzlee 11.
now just to wait for my 4 villagers to complete it :P
