A Look at Sawmill
Welcome to the logging simulator! Chop trees, deliver logs to the base, and process them into planks and beams at the sawmill. Transport finished materials to the store by truck, complete orders, and earn money. Upgrade your tools, buy new forest plots, and expand your territory. The tractor will be your loyal helper for transporting logs, and purchasing plots is available right in the forest through a pop-up menu. Grow your lumber empire and become the best logger! 🌲🪓🚜
