How does Lumberjack sign work?

[ZinogreTW]

ive automated my mushroom/pasture farm and they go to their own respective boxes

but for some reason i cant seem to understand how lumberjacking works. I planted Cedar and Oak as i used them a lot for structures. I've established their own shared boxes purely for wood but i am not seeing any new Cedar and Oak logs, i always have to go out there and get my own.

Any useful tips and info is appreciated.

It's just a job item.
Placing it anywhere causes citizens with the Lumberjack job to start having a chance to produce wood every day.
They do not actually chop down any trees. They just generate logs out of thin air every morning.
Heck, just placing the sign anywhere, even in an empty room with no trees or sunlight is enough to satisfy the conditions for their job.
You can check their rate at the Resident Board.
It's listed as a % chance per day, with possible overflow percentage.
For example, if it says 190% they have a 100% chance to produce 1 log a day, with a 90% chance of producing 2 logs instead.

It's... not going to be very fast if you rely only on Lumberjack citizens, even if you had a town filled with them.

ohh damn...i thought it would function similar to the Farm sign and would auto plant when trees are chopped

thank you for the info i will prolly stop planting trees for now and just chop in the wild

oh wow and here i spent 200+ hours never bothering with lumberjack sign because i didn't want to setup a tree farm

never would of thought they'd just pull them out of their ass or something lmao

mind you it still sounds like a worthless job. I'd rather whip them to do something more useful still but at least I now know how it functions

Use a farm sign for trees if you are using delegated farming. I'm pretty sure it works for normal trees, I'm certain it works for fruit trees. You can get decent passive wood income from like a palm tree farm, the wood is valuable and you get coconuts.
