How to Make Planks in Medieval Dynasty

Make planks at the carpenter’s table in a Woodshed. Bring logs, open the crafting interaction and select planks. If you are stuck building your first house, a basic straw roof lets you finish it before you have plank production.

You can finish the first house without planks

The Simple Small House has a basic straw-roof option. Wooden and tile roofs require planks; a straw roof avoids that early requirement.

Our recommendation: finish the basic roof first and upgrade later. Check the live blueprint for the materials required by your chosen modules.

Set up lumberjack production deliberately

Assign a lumberjack to the Woodshed and configure plank production in Management. An assigned worker still needs a production order and the required inputs.

  1. Confirm the worker and workplace assignment.
  2. Make sure plank production has a non-zero setting.
  3. Check the current input and tool icons, then storage space.
  4. Follow any warning shown by the building before changing another setting.

Plank questions beginners ask

Common questions

Can I make planks without a Woodshed?

The manual route documented here uses the Woodshed’s carpenter’s table. For an early house, choose the basic straw roof and build the Woodshed afterward.

Can I buy planks?

Purchasing is documented for version 2.1.1.3. Current merchants and prices were not verified, so check vendor stock before planning a purchase.
