Logs

Timberborn logs are the backbone of your colony. Sustain your construction needs by managing Lumberjack Flags and Sawmills for a steady supply.

Logs form the absolute bedrock of any beaver settlement in Timberborn. These fundamental building materials are harvested directly from trees by assigning beavers to Lumberjack Flags. The efficiency of your log harvesting is directly tied to the number of beavers you ass to these flags and the proximity of the flags to forested areas. Once harvested, logs are not only used directly for the construction of many basic structures but also serve as the primary input for processing into more refined materials. A critical step in ensuring a consistent and sustainable supply of logs is the strategic placement and management of Foresters. These buildings allow beavers to plant new trees, ensuring that your lumber operations do not deplete the surrounding environment and can continue indefinitely. Without a steady and abundant flow of logs, your colony's ability to expand, build essential infrastructure, and even survive the harsh seasons will be severely hampered. This makes maintaining a healthy, regenerating forest a top priority from the very first day of settlement.

The reliance on logs extends to almost every aspect of beaver life. From the simplest shelters to the most complex industrial machinery, logs are the initial component. For instance, a basic Hut requires a certain number of logs, while more advanced structures, like a Sawmill itself, demand a significant quantity. The speed at which Lumberjack Flags operate is also influenced by the terrain and the type of trees present, with denser forests potentially yielding more logs per harvest cycle. Furthermore, the placement of Lumberjack Flags should be carefully considered to avoid creating large, barren clearings that can negatively impact the environment and potentially lead to erosion during heavy rains. A balanced approach, combining harvesting with reforestation, is key to long-term success.
