8 Planks units
4 Sawdust units

Baseline: 91.25 cycles per default simulation year. Actual throughput depends on deliveries and operating conditions.

Restrictions

Economies: Temperate, Dry, Tropical, Subarctic

Storage

Logs: 400 units (Input stock)
Planks: 800 units (Output stock)
Sawdust: 400 units (Output stock)

Production

Recipe cycle frequencies accompany each production recipe. Actual output depends on available inputs, productivity boosts and plots.
Worker boost: at least 10 workers arriving by a passenger line within two default simulation years; productivity increases by 1.5–2.5× while the condition is met.
