how to get building material? i tried everything and don't know how to gather building materials?

You gather resources and you make the items you need to make the building material. Then you need tthe shop to turn those items into building material.

Unless you want to use your logs, you may want to mine coal. Fuel Refinery will take coal and turn into Fuel. This will be used at the forge as well as iron ore to make iron. Iron can be turned into Joists, one of the items needed to make building materials. When you have all the items needed the Building Supplier will make the Building Materials. If you choose to use copper pipes as part of your building materials you will need to build cooper mines as well and at the forge you turn the ore into copper. A Cooper will take the copper and turn into copper pitpes that the Building Supplier will add with other materials to make Building Supplies.

You can also build the industry trader and just trade for building supplies. This way you dont have to bother with the supply chain to make 3 different items that get used for making building materials.

I find it easier to buy Building Supplies using the Industry Supplier. If you want to make them yourself, you need to build a Building Supplier which will show you all the "recipes" that can be used. Then build the other production buildings you may need. When I make them, I use the "recipe" that calls for Bricks + Glass + Iron so I build a Brickworks, Glassmaker, a couple of Shore Houses to collect clay and sand, and make sure I'm producing extra Iron (might need an Iron Mine).
