I'm a she, and yes I want farmers and healers, no need for builders, all they do is drive me insane with all of the fixing of the huts.

Drives me insane, too. I have a game that's been running since September. Most of the time, I do succeed in having children born with no building skill at all (because I very carefully choose a breeder with only farming or farming/healing skills). But there's always a builder or two who learned on their own - I never activate the building skill for anybody. And sorry about the gender mixup. \:\)

I think at some point I must have given a male builder some breeding skill because I had a village full of children who were growing up to be builders, which was useful when I needed the ruins rebuilt and idol uncovered, but darn annoying otherwise!

I've had to do that sometimes, too, when all my males somehow had acquired building skill. Only when I had the shipwreck events (beach debris) occur, did I intentionally activate building skills, and unfortunately, that tends to result in builder descendants for a couple of generations. Groan.
