If you press control-5 (at least, in a room without any clock-triggering things) in order to skip to the next multiple of 30 turns, builders disappear for a significant amount of time, though the effects of their building appears instantly.

Can't duplicate it, but I know what you mean: I've had the same thing happen with other entities (goblins, roaches, etc.)

The problem is I've never been able to find a way to cause it to happen on demand. As it is, simply placing builders in a room and giving them something to do doesn't generate this bug (at least, not all the time, anyways).

It was happening for me fairly consistently in Monkey's Tutorial: Assorted Elements: 1S1W. If that helps.

That's consistently producing it for me, yes, thanks. Heh, that's three Bug/FR topics that this hold has spawned now.

Of course, I've no idea what's causing it, but maybe Mike might have a better idea.

I'll look at it. Offhand, I have no idea...

Maybe the areas that need to be repainted aren't updated properly, for whatever reason? I fuzzily remember that minimizing then restoring the window or dragging it around made the builders show up...

I could be wrong, though...

Ah, here's the other bug report thread for this. I seem to have fixed this in build 55.
