Gathering wood

Woodcutting Post

The Woodcutting Post building is used to gather wood from trees. When placing a woodcutting post, trees that can be harvested by the building will be highlighted. open-hull trucks with felled tree capacity may be purchased or assigned to a woodcutting post. Workers at the woodcutting post will chop down trees, then trucks assigned to the building will automatically gather wood from the ground and store it in the woodcutting post. 30 workers may work at each woodcutting post, producing 6.3 tons of wood per worker every day.

Trees do not regenerate automatically, however, the seed tree tool may be used to plant new trees around the woodcutting post, allowing the building to continue gathering wood.

Storing and transporting wood

Each woodcutting post stores up to 50 tons of wood. Wood may also be stored in open storage buildings.

Wood may be transported using open-hull trucks, by train using open-hull cargo wagons, or by forklift.

Wood may be exported at a customs house.

Processing wood

Sawmills

Wood may be processed at sawmills, which will produce boards. A woodcutting post at maximum production produces 189 tons of wood per day (30 workers * 6.3t wood) and a sawmill at maximum production consumes 180t wood per workday, so each sawmill should have its own dedicated woodcutting post. At maximum production, a sawmill will consume 180t wood to make 140t boards per day; a ratio of 9 : 7. Boards are an important construction material.

Chemical Plants

Wood may be processed at chemical plants as one of the resources needed to produce chemicals. A chemical plant at maximum production consumes 0.84t wood per workday to produce 0.81t chemicals. One woodcutting post at maximum production can supply 225 chemical plants.

Trivia
