Lumber

Lumber is one of the earliest processed goods that can be produced in the game, and it is also one of the most widely used construction materials. It serves as a basic building resource for many early projects, making it an essential item for expanding a settlement.

Although Lumber is highly important, its production efficiency is rather poor. To mass-produce it, players usually need to build multiple Sawmill structures or rely on importing it through trade. Because of this, Lumber is often treated as a bottleneck resource in the early and mid game, and planning around steady wood supply and processing capacity is important if large-scale construction is expected.
