In the game Manor Lords, firewood is super important, just like food. It keeps your people warm and helps run many of your city’s buildings. During winter, you’ll need even more firewood because it burns faster.
But the game doesn’t tell you how to get firewood, so lots of players get confused. Don’t worry, it’s easy! Here’s what you do:
- Build a Woodcutter’s Lodge near some trees. It’s cheap and easy to make, just need 1 timber. You’ll find it in the Gathering tab of the Construction menu.
- Assign a family to work there. They’ll chop down trees and turn them into firewood.
- You can tell your woodcutters where to work by selecting the Woodcutter’s Lodge, going to Advanced, and clicking “Limit work area.” This way, they won’t cut down too many trees or harm other things like berry bushes or animal homes.
- You’ll need a place to store all the firewood and distribute it to your people. Build a Storehouse and a Marketplace for this.
As your city grows, you’ll need more and more firewood. You can speed up production by assigning more families to work at the Woodcutter’s Lodge or by building a second one. You can also make charcoal from firewood using a Charcoal Kiln, which doubles your fuel supply.
