How to Play
Sawmill: Mastering the basics
To learn how to play Sawmill, start by walking to a tree and pressing F to select it. Use your axe with LMB to chop it down, then hit E to drop the logs. The Sawmill controls rely on WASD for movement, but you will find that turning while carrying heavy timber feels sluggish.
What is the Sawmill strategy?
Your main goal is to ferry logs to the processing station to create planks. Do not try to rush the tractor early on. You will likely flip your cargo if you take corners too fast. Most players lose their first big haul by driving off the forest path like a maniac.
Upgrading your Sawmill empire
Once you have cash, use the pop-up menu in the woods to buy new plots. This opens up better timber and more complex orders. Keep pushing forward, because the late-game contracts require serious hauling to finish. If you can handle the driving, you will dominate the map in no time.
