Settlement automation
Forestry Replanting
Forestry zones can organize tree cutting and replanting as a settlement source of logs and saplings.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Forestry Replanting
A Forestry work zone covering a tree area managed through the Settlement interface.
Before you go
- Access to the Settlement interface.
- An area with trees that can be designated for Forestry work.
- A preferred replanting choice: same tree type or a selected sapling type.
Farming steps
- Choose a tree area where cutting fits your settlement plans.
- Open the Settlement interface and go to the work zone assignment controls.
- Create or select a Forestry zone over the intended tree area.
- Set whether the zone should replant the same tree type or a particular sapling type.
- Review the zone boundary before enabling cutting so it covers only trees you intend to manage.
- Observe forestry activity and check settlement supplies for collected Logs and saplings.
- Use Logs for construction or crafting, and retain saplings for the tree type you want the zone to replant.
- Keep the Forestry zone boundary clear of trees you want to preserve.
- Select a specific sapling type when you want the zone to replant a chosen tree variety.
Repeat, collect and use
Forestry work can be repeated while the zone and its trees remain available. Replanting behavior depends on the zone setting; the source facts do not establish a guaranteed rate or uninterrupted wood cycle.
Common mistakes
- Including trees you want to keep in the zone: revise the boundary before allowing cutting.
- Assuming the zone always selects the same tree type: check whether it is set to replant the same type or a chosen sapling.
- Expecting a fixed supply or schedule: observe the zone's actual output and adjust it to your needs.
When to stop or switch
Pause or reduce the managed area when your stored Logs cover current building and crafting needs; resume or expand the zone when those supplies run low.
