Maybe you're building too fast for the sawpit to get any.

yeah are you upgrading / building ? Or did you make a manor yet.. it will pre-use planks depending on how big an sprawling you made it.. But mostly its buildings being built.. (also dont forget to check the log / top middle of screen.. I had a nice back to back Raiders steal 13 planks heh)

As far as I'm aware these are the only things that eat planks:

• Fletcher at a Burgage Plot making Warbows.
  
• Building or Upgrading structures.
  
• Selling via Trading Post.
  
• Bandit stealing them.

It also may be worth using the toggle button to the right of your settlement name that lets you see total resources vs. surplus. If you look at the total and you see planks, and then at surplus and you don't, then you know there's something consuming them. From there it's just a matter of tracking down what is doing it.

And shields and spears take up planks too.

Lumber Camp cuts trees and stockpiles Timber. Sawpit will use an Ox to take Timber from Camp and then create Planks. A storeworker will then come and collect 10 planks and take it to a Storehouse. (Without Storeworker, if inventory reaches 50, the worker will move 1 Plank at a time, Storeworkers can always carry 10).

Woodcutter is for firewood only. They should be assigned to a different part of the forest than your Lumbercamp, they will chop their own wood and turn it into Firewood, they don't produce logs.

Build a Lumber Camp and a Sawpit with a Hitch inbetween them. Assign a family to each building and you'll see the process. You can also click a building and select "People" and it will show you exactly where/what they are doing at any given moment.

was not building anything. Im not sure if its a glitch or WTF is going on., But im now on my like 8th town/Save. Every single time, I seem to around 150 population. And then the game just dies. All my workers stop working, All my buildings stop producing. everything just completely comes to a halt and then i last as long as my stock piles last
