Resource How-To
How to Get Lumber
Sources
- Bleak Beach shoreline tree loops for stable early throughput.
- Area transition edges with dense short-cuttable nodes.
- Co-op split routes where one player only handles return transport.
Efficiency Strategies
- Pick one zone loop with consistent tree density.
- Assign gather and transport roles when playing co-op.
- Batch convert logs to lumber after each full loop, not continuously.
Alternatives
- If Bleak Beach is contested, switch to secondary inland short loops.
- If transport is slow, reduce batch size but keep one fixed loop.
- If co-op is unavailable, use movement unlocks to shorten solo returns.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching zones too early before one route is stabilized.
- Gathering mixed resources when lumber is the immediate bottleneck.
- Ignoring movement unlocks that shorten return distance.
FAQ
Q: What is the fastest way to stabilize lumber output?
A: Use one repeatable high-density route and batch processing after each full cycle.
Q: Should I gather mixed materials while farming lumber?
A: Only if lumber is no longer your bottleneck. Otherwise keep routes single-purpose.
