Have you tried getting a builder to put it up for you. Or do you have the relevent upgrades fpr the statue.

You have the scaffolding in place, right? Work can't commence until you've found a place to anchor it.

As for the corrupted file, that means the file is damaged somehow; a likely cause for this is data that was misplaced during the download process. Try downloading the upgrade again, and running it one more time.

i have anchor the statue at one place...after that everybody sees a good place for anchoring but then they went to do other things (fishing, bathing - have nothing to do with the statue)

i've give up on solving the statue problem...n i cant update to v.04 version =(

You have to have the plans ready in the alchemy lab. You just have to insist on having them anchor the statue until the scaffolding appears. Builders are more likely to be successful, but even a master builder can fail.

No work can start until the scaffolding appears. Just threaten to throw them to the sharks, they'll get in line.

I have the same problem. Version 1.00.02
Statue's head is on top, then happened stupid action like "Proud of the tribe" and Chief Directing Work focus dissapeared...and now I can't restore it.
My current state...
Where should I place Chief now? I tried 300~ times in different places.
Is there any hot spot active in 1.00.02? I want complete the game!

You should read the forum rules regarding appropriate language for our forums before posting again. However, as I stated earlier in this thread, drop your chief on the path (the lower portion works best), not on the statue, to continue having your villagers work on the project (or click the link I provided to find out how to get the 1.00.04 update).

You may try this: Your current state...

already tried...failed... =(

You should be able to obtain and install v1.00.04, which would definitely solve the problem that you're having with the statue. Exactly what error are you getting when you try to get the updated version?
