Lumberjack stand

The Lumberjack stand is a work post for a zombie at the Sawmill. Put a zombie holding an axe on it, and it goes back and forth into the woods on its own. Each round brings 1 Log and 2 Sticks, straight into the sawmill’s storage. It comes with Zombie Lumberjack (75 red, 10 blue, after the Circular Saw) and costs 2 Wooden Planks and 6 Bricks at the sawmill’s build desk.

Notes

  • The axe sets the pace. A new zombie has no talents, so its axe decides how far each swing gets: a Rusty Axe needs 8 swings of 10 seconds for one round, a Bronze Axe 4. An Iron Axe does it in 3 swings of about 3.6 seconds, about 11 seconds in all. A Steel Axe is no faster, at about 4 seconds a swing. The walk to the trees and back comes on top. These times are worked out from the game files, not timed in play.
  • The Logger zombie talent takes 2 steps off each round.
  • Every round gives the zombie a red tech point, for its own talents, not yours.
  • The technology stays hidden until both ways into the Old Mine are open.
  • The logs stay at the sawmill until a Porter Station there carries them to the factory’s wood heap, or you fetch them.
