(excuse the garledness of this post - ask if when it's confusing.)
Ok, first off the floor that fades in and out are build markers - they let you know what and where the builders try to build.
Builders get a colour based on which build station they are closest to.
note: the following is a very rough description, there are added complications (multiple stations, the token in the middle) but you can probably ignore them in this room, at least.
Builder's basic behaviour is
* Go to a build station of their colour.
* wait 1 turn (gather building supplies)
* Go to the nearest thing that needs building
* Build it.
repeat
If they can't get to something to build or a build station, they will stand still.
So in this room, what you need to do is get the builders to
* remove the oremites so you can kill the tarstuff
* remove the pits so you can kill the snakes
* remove the walls so you can reach the tarstuff/switch and kill the rock giants and goblins.
You don't want them to release the briars until the other stuff is done. You also don't want to remove all the crumbly walls until the snakes are dead (unless you use dead golems)
Now, you can control which builders are active by using the arrow token. At the start of the room, green and red are trapped in the centre. Step on the token and you free them, but trap white and blue.
The important thing to note in this room is that builders build whatever is closest to them.
