Logs and firewood | Production and processing of resources Banished Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Production of logs is crucial for proper functioning of the village you created - your supplies will be used for construction of buildings that are important in various aspects of the town's functioning. Start by cutting trees on a selected area of the map - you'll need some logs from the beginning, so make some workers cut trees.
Later on, it will become a responsibility of workers from the forester lodge - You should build more and more of them as the town expands. While in the beginning they will cut down trees, later on you should order some workers to plant them. The best way to keep a balance in the ecosystem is to make all the lodges cut and plant trees, however remember that to develop your town you need a lot of logs, so sometimes you should choose the amount of resources over balance of the ecosystem.
You can use logs not only for construction. It can also be turned into firewood that's essential for keeping people warm in the late autumn, winter and early spring. To do it, build a woodcutter hut, a worker will make firewood there. You can increase the initial production limit. Remember that the amount of firewood that you need depends on the type of houses. Wooden houses require around 30 units of firewood in the winter, while stone ones - half of that.
