Forestry is an outdoor room where Gardeners plant trees and Workmen chop down (dismantle) the trees, and turn them into logs that can be either sold directly or sawn in the workshop to make planks which are sold for a higher profit.
The purchase of Trees is done automatically, for $100 each, so be sure to have the capital before creating large Forestry areas. One tree is planted about every 12 squares.
Forestry contains contraband such as hatchets which can be countered by metal detectors.
From Logs to Superior Beds[]
Forestry is the first step in a possibly long but lucrative crafting operation.
- Trees are bought for $100 and planted by Gardener in the forestry area.
- Trees take 5 in-game days to mature and have 3 stages of growth: sapling, young and old.
- Workmen chop down the tree to create 3 logs $50 value each.
- Each log is moved to Workshop Saw to create 4 Wooden Plank $50 value each.
- 6 wooden planks are used in the Carpenter Table to make 1 Superior Bed $400 value each.
Tips and Tricks[]
- Instead of creating a large forestry area off the bat, try creating sections of forestry each day, expanding the area slowly. This will help so that the forestry tasks are broken up over days, instead of all of the trees being harvested and replanted at the same time, which may cause logistical bottlenecks.
- If there are too many logs in the workshop, trees will still be cut down but logs will stay in the Forestry instead of being taken to the workshop. Sell excess Boards using the Sell Object tool, the prisoners will cut new ones and the problem will solve itself.
- Selling wood logs from the forestry before unlocking tax relief isn't a good idea since at the end you're selling each tree $150 - $45(30% tax) - $100(price of the sapling) = $5
- Trees grow at the same speed regardless of the floor type it's on, as long as it's outdoors. You may take this at your advantage by building fast moving tiles throughout the entire forestry to increase the efficiency.
- Some floor types generate non-standard trees when designated as forestry while charging standard tree prices:
- Mud: Spooky
- Sand: Palm
- Snow: Snowy Conifer
- Lunar: Sakura
- Grass: Tree (different texture)
