About

A Sawbuck icon.png Sawbuck is a structure which allows you to cut Fresh Board icon.png Fresh Boards from Log icon.png Logs.

How to Make Fresh Boards

  1. Using Any Axe icon.png Any Axe Chop down a Tree icon.png Tree to get a Log icon.png Log.
  2. Lift icon.png Lift the Log and right-click on the Sawbuck icon.png Sawbuck to load in the Log. You cannot load Hollow Log icon.png Hollow Logs onto it.
  3. With Any Saw icon.png Any Saw equipped, right-click the Sawbuck and select "Make Boards". A single Log will yield 30x Fresh Board icon.png Fresh Boards, an immature Tree will produce a smaller Log which will yield fewer Boards. The yield of a Log can be increased by your Hammer & Nail icon.png Hammer & Nail Proficiency. When Chopping Fresh Boards you may receive a Coffin Plank icon.png Coffin Plank by chance instead.

Building Structures

Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure.

Each material is followed by a series of three numbers.

  • The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited.
  • The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure.
  • The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure.

Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future.

Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
