A ridiculous bug with a ridiculous solution

This is not a question thread, but just a report on how to get around a bug.

I was trying to fit more than 11 buildings on one builder, by giving the builder the NE druid transform ability. I could then switch to an alternate builder and back, which I thought was more compact than two builders.

However, I soon found out that... the alternate builder couldn't build any of the towers I assigned it. It would go through the motions, but no building would appear. I assumed something was wrong with my new towers, and tried it with an old tower.. and it worked.

At this point I was confused, there was nothing wrong with my new towers. Usually when you do something wrong it takes the whole game down! It seemed like I could only build things the original builder could build! That sortof destroys the purpose.

I was writing up a post to ask about it here when the solution dawned on me: I just added the alternate towers to the original builder's buildable list. Even though you can't see them on the main builder, you can now build them with the alternate.

Stupid, eh?

Yes. But also useful to know.

That's why I posted it.

I find two builders somehow... unappealing. Not sure why.
