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.
- Confirm the worker and workplace assignment.
- Make sure plank production has a non-zero setting.
- Check the current input and tool icons, then storage space.
- 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.
