Hi Amelia!

We're happy that you're enjoying the game!

Repairing huts is a skill like any other in the game and needs to be practiced. Before working on the Crafting Hut, try repairing your village's dock!

Drag and drop villagers on buildings and structures so they can begin learning how to repair. Some huts and other structures will require plans to be made first, which will become common later in the game. Also, make sure you're upgrading your construction technology when you can!

Apart from the in-game tutorial, you can also find game play info and join our community at our forums. Our players love to discuss how they completed puzzles in the game and improved their villagers:
