well FINALLY! lol I got my 3 master builders. I have one puzzle left and that's the last gong piece. What I'm curious about is has anyone else had problems getting all the collectibles?? I need four in each category and I haven't seen any of them yet and my game is almost done.

Having said that.......waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....what am I going to do now??? LOL......VV3 coming out soon??? LOL

congrats!!!!

i have two categories completed, almost done in the other 2

i thought i read somewhere that someone had completed all four sets (ohh, that sounded almost cryptic...very vague at the least)

there is no end to this game, same as the first

there are so many many things you can do with the game

or maybe you should learn to use those image editor program things and start on the new mods

I have all my shells and lacking one butterfly. I still need about half of the other catergories. But I am taking the game very slow. I only have 12 villagers and either 7 or eight puzzles yet. I still only have level 2 in every tech. It is a slow going game.

slow and steady wins the race

Do you mean put the game on pause before closing down? I have done that, but my adept builder is now 60 and still hasn't made master. I have built the cottage and two buildings, built the dam and cleared the vines, still only one master, he was the runner so he moved pretty quick. I am out of things to build and have 3rd level of engineering. Population of 27. This villager just needs the master builder completed to be an elder, but I am afraid he will die before he gets his master builder. I have five builders and only one became a master. Why are builders so slow?

no, don't pause it
that stops progress

i would put it on 1/2 speed and let it alone for a while

Thanks eyeshigh. I'll try that again. Hopefully I won't have to bury my little guy soon.

I don't know if this helps anyone but the way I've found to get higher builders is to wait and not build anything till I get the dam part of technology and then set three builders each on the three projects. That is to say I set one to the broken down hut, one to building the other hut, and then one to the dam. If you put it on 1/2 speed then food doesn't go down as fast and then your workers can work and it will take longer by themselves meaning more construction points. It hasn't really gotten them to masters yet in my game but its getting them really close.

Still frustrated with my builders, I had one who was already adept when I set her off building one of the last two buildings, she is now 67 and still adept and probably won't make master before she turns her toes, the other I set off at 14, she is now 27 and helped build the last 2 buildings and she is still also adept, if she hasn't mastered a trade by now it's not looking good lol aprentiships only last 4 years in real life. The 2 guy builders I have aren't doing any better and I have 2 puzzles to solve and 2 bits of gong to get...grrrrrrrrr
I'm going to end up starting again
