Quick answer
Take wood to Wood Dropoff, beside Wood R Us: leaving it on the ground does not sell it. Start with a small load so you can finish the route without getting stuck.
Requirements
You need an axe. Buy the Basic Hatchet at Wood R Us if you do not have one. Processing wood in your own sawmill requires land and the machine; neither is necessary to learn the first sale.
Steps
- Choose a nearby tree and cut it down.
- Drag a section you can handle toward the selling point.
- If branches snag, cut them off and reduce the load.
- Put the wood on the Wood Dropoff conveyor and check that your balance increases.
- Repeat the short route before chasing distant wood.
What to improve next
If cutting is slow, review your axe; if moving the load is the problem, improve its size and transport. Once you own land and a sawmill, you can process logs into planks before selling. A rare axe does not also solve transport.
Mistakes and success check
Do not confuse the purchase counter with the selling conveyor or abandon an oversized tree far from your route. A sale works when the wood goes through the drop-off and your balance changes.
