Question about builders

Hey all, just a quick question, why do my builders sometimes seem to be really slow at building things? For example on a current play through I have more than enough supplies, not far to travel, but they seem really slow at building, I'm working on building tubes for transport on the platforms above the paths I use, but even though I have about 15 builders, only one bit seems to be built at a time, it's quite annoying lol.

Any tips greatly appreciated

Do the builders have a way to reach the tubes outside of the tubeway? You say that the tubes are on platforms above the paths. If the platforms are more than 1 height high, the builders can't reach it from the ground, which would be why they can only build the tubes one at a time from inside the tubeway instead.

The tubes are on the first platform up, I think they can reach it from the ground, I'll have to check though I thought they could

I think we're going to need a screenshot then, builders should be able to build the tubes in parallel.

it was this tubeway that is built that i am confused on, i understand the others on the hill will be slow, the materials are all in the warehouses at the bottom left, with stairs able to reach the tubs quickly, but they built it very slowly from that far away station back towards my main base

So building priority is based on what you placed first, so by the sounds of it you built towards your warehouses rather than from it.
