Wood

Wood is a resource in They Are Billions.

Description

Wood is produced by the Sawmills while stone and iron are produced by the Quarry. These buildings have a collection radius and can only obtain resources from the cells within that radius. For example, the Sawmill gets wood from surrounding trees. The more trees inside its radius, the more wood it will produce.

Strategy

Wood is collected by placing a sawmill close to forest tiles (or cactus tiles on the desert map).
Wood is an important early-game resource, used to build all but the most basic of buildings. It is recommended to develop a strong wood income early on, as almost all buildings and units throughout the game will require at least some wood. For the early game in particular, early defences (especially wood walls), cottages, farms and the wood workshop will use up large quantities of wood.
Power plants will reduce wood income by -10 per plant.
There is no known penalty of having negative wood income.
