i'm in the middle of djedu and the sun temple seems to be stuck.
the land has been cleared, the obelisk part decorated, and now the dude just stands there waiting.
the construction foreman tells me that i don't have enough sandstone, but i have more than the 160 blocks required to finish in my SYs. (i actually have 220).
i have operational work camps, stonemasons, and carpenters. i had sort of a similar problem in rostja, where the stonemasons refused to start on the sphinx and the smaller pyramid, but i downloaded the update and that fixed the problem. i don't have cleo installed.
any thoughts? i thought maybe there was a staging area that was blocked or something, but the construction foreman usually mentions that.
thanks in advance.

Hi auntymo, welcome to Pharaoh Heaven.
A sun temple doesn't have a "staging area", but if access to all of it is blocked then construction will stop.
Is sandstone being stockpiled? I would expect that the construction foreman would mention that, but I'm just guessing.
Sometimes a monument becomes stuck when someone who should be working on it is killed (by a predator or enemy). That problem can often be fixed by deleting and rebuilding (or undoing) the work camps and guilds. If that doesn't help, you could try deleting and undoing the monument itself. For safety, save the game first.

i did notice that one corner of the temple is at the very edge of the map...perhaps that is the problem?

Greetings,
I am currently in Waset (Easy), having the same trouble. I have 32 blocks of sandstone sitting on a flat perhaps 20 squares from the temple. I need 12 blocks. I have 3 stonemason guilds, 1 carpenter, 25 work camps. I am not stockpiling, I do not have the flats set on Get or Empty.There is at least 1 square clear around the sun temple on every side. The temple sits at 98% finished. The Pyramid is done, and the goods have been dispatched. the only other part of the scenario i have to finish is for 400 people to immigrate. this temple has sat like this for approximately 1 and a half hours, with nothing. I have tried.. re-importing the sandstone, i have deleted and then put back the Stone mason guild. I have Tried everything i can think of. my gods are very happy, my people love me. I have no warnings going off, no war of any kind.
please help.

Just_Red,
What does the sun temple's construction foreman say?
Did you try everything I suggested in reply #1: deleting and rebuilding (or undoing) all 3 stonemason guilds and all 25 work camps, and (if those don't work) deleting and undoing the sun temple?
I don't know if the Cleopatra burial goods bug can affect sun temples. If it can, and if you have installed the original (unpatched) Cleopatra (version 2.0), then you might have that bug. It causes monument corruption when all burial goods are dispatched. If that's the case, then you should load a saved game from before you dispatched the last burial goods, complete the monuments and all other mission requirements, wait a month, then dispatch the last burial goods for immediate victory. (Cleopatra with its "patch" (version 2.1) does not have that bug, but installing the "patch" will not help a mission that has already started.)
