The Saw Pit is a resource conversion building that consumes
Logs and produces
Planks. As planks are a resource needed for construction of several T1 and T2 buildings, the Saw Pit (and its upgrade, the Saw Mill) will be needed in near-constant production to meet expansion needs through much of the early and mid-game
Upgrade Information
Upgrading to a Saw Mill confers the following benefits:
- Increased plank production rate
- Increased plank storage capacity
- Additional Occupancy slots for workers
- Increased health, improving resilience against attack and environmental damage
Basic Strategy
Saw mills are negative desirability buildings and should be kept away from Residential districts. Given their limited types of input/output and need for a constant feedstock of input resources, it is strongly recommended for Players to build Saw pits near both their primary source of Log harvesting and the Stockyard, which stores both logs and planks for use in construction and other conversion processes.
