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?
