Usage
How it works
- Head to the Lumber Center NPC and rent a truck ($100).
- Drive to a tree zone marked on the map.
- Equip your battle axe or chainsaw and chop down trees. Each downed tree leaves a log on the ground.
- Pick up the log - your character will carry it with an animation. Place it in your truck bed (up to 5 logs per trip).
- Drive to the Sawmill NPC and deposit your logs. Each log takes ~12 seconds to process into planks.
- Sell the planks for cash at the Lumber Center NPC.
Lumber Center NPC
The Lumber Center NPC offers the following options:
- Sell Materials - open the sell shop for planks
- Rent Vehicle - rent a Bison truck for $100
- Return Vehicle - return the truck within 10 m of the Lumber Center for a full $100 refund
- Toggle Zone Blips - show or hide tree zone blips on the map
