Woodcutter's lodge

The woodcutter's lodge is a gathering building used to collect firewood by cutting down trees in the region.

Use

When placed the woodcutter's lodge will require 1 timber to be constructed. Once fully built, up to 3 families can be assigned to work in it.

Mechanics

An area can be designated in which the families work in the advanced tab of the building. Using ctrl and scroll wheel, the area can be adjusted. If no area is specified they will look for trees close to the main building.

Family members will go to the work area, cut down a tree and then cut log pieces from it. After that they will transport it by hand to the woodcutter's lodge building itself, where they will split it into smaller pieces making firewood and drop it into the generic storage of the building. Trees will be removed from the area when they are cut down and generally do not grow back on their own. To plant more trees, the use of a forester's hut is required.

Firewood is a resource that counts as a type of fuel, which is required by families in burgage plots. An assigned family at a Storehouse building must set up a market stall to distribute it.

If the building's generic storage contains resources, workers at a Storehouse can collect it, including using a cart to transport 10 at a time on a Road. Otherwise when the building reaches full storage the assigned family members will stop working, waiting for room to continue.
