Builders won't independently build

Unless I'm right there to put the peeps back on task, my builders won't build the hut. They'll examine huts, they'll fix other huts but the gosh darn peeps just won't build the new hut!! Even when I exit the game, have all peeps at least Trainees and have their boxes checked for "Builder" when I come back an hour or two later, they haven't accomplished a thing!!

I've played this game many times before and have never had this kind of problem with it. Is there a solution?

Funny....the built the temple thing without prompting but then I had the same trouble with the second hut. Just odd.

Were the huts you were trying to make them build 0 percent completed when you posted this? I had the same problem, but only when the hut was 0 percent completed. When it gets to 1 percent, the people start building it on their own.
