Natural ressources and their regrowth

[Maxafield]

In my current playthrough I've encountered something that bothers me somehow and I hope some of you guys can help we with it.

So I need to gather a whole lot of wood for tributes, buildings, drinkable water and many other things. While doing that my forest reached a pitiful amount of condition so my gathering of wood also became pitiful. Yet Mr. Björn demands 40 wood at the end of the week.

Is there any way out of this downward cycle? It'll take ages (~6% regrowth per night) to get the forest in it's old state. Yet I need wood of basic survival (water, warmth, etc.).
Any useful recommendation for you? Have I doomed myself or do you guys have any advises?

Thank you for reading, have a nice day! :)

Basically the game forces you to quickly upgrade buildings to give workers less fatigue + upgrade main building for faster fatigue regen during the night. But i got stuck with forest at lowest level and i'm barely scraping by - 2 story days and 3 rainy days in a row. Sucks to be me.

It help if you have a character with high forestry skill, the deterioration % is for per use so maximise the wood you get per use. Also make sure you carry out exploration always but save up on the resource event (instead of collecting them right away), the exploration events are all "free" action that will help out when you are in a pinch.

You can collect wood right away. it wont deteriorate.

It would be awesome if you could use an action in the woodcutter camp to reforest your forest by putting in seeds and water and ofc time like 3 days but then it jumps up at 20-30% as additon to the regular rise of a couple %.

This! I've enough workforce, sadly it's no use I guess.

Thanks for all the answers, I guess Björn will have to settle with a lower tribute this week.
