Medieval Dynasty How To Make Planks

Okay, let's talk planks. You know, those flat, rectangular pieces of wood that are basically the LEGO bricks of the medieval world in Medieval Dynasty. Forget slaying dragons (for now!), mastering planks is how you actually build your dynasty. Think of it like this: you wouldn't try to bake a cake without flour, right? Planks are the flour of construction, and without 'em, you're stuck living in a glorified dirt hut.

And trust me, nobody wants that. We all aspire to that lovely stone castle someday!

So, Why Bother with Planks?

Seriously though, planks are the foundation (literally!) of everything. Houses, workshops, fences, even some furniture. You're going to need them. Imagine trying to woo that lovely maiden with a mud-walled shack. Not exactly the picture of romance, is it? A cozy wooden cabin? Now we're talking!

Getting your plank production sorted early on is a game-changer. It's like investing in a good pair of walking boots. You'll thank yourself later when you're not hobbling around in makeshift shoes. Same goes for planks. Set yourself up, and you'll be swimming in them before you know it.

The Simple Steps to Plank-Making Glory

Alright, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. How do you actually make these magical planks?

1. First, you need wood. Duh, right? But seriously, gather some logs. Look for trees. Big ones. Small ones. Any tree will do in a pinch. You can use a stone axe early on, but upgrade to an iron axe ASAP. It's like the difference between using a butter knife and a proper chef's knife – much faster and less frustrating!
2. Head to your woodshed. Now, this is where the magic happens. You need a woodshed, which you can build from the building menu. It's relatively cheap and easy to construct. Think of the woodshed as your kitchen for wood – you wouldn't try to bake a cake in the garden, would you?
3. Assign someone (or yourself!) to the woodshed. Once you have a woodshed, you need someone to work it. You can either assign a villager or, in the beginning, you can do it yourself. Think of it as an entry-level job – chopping wood isn’t glamorous, but it's essential. Go to the Management tab and choose your woodshed, then assign a villager. If you are going to do it manually, interact with the wood shed and choose the "Plank" recipe in the Production tab.
4. Set the production order. Inside the woodshed's management menu, you'll find a production tab. This is where you tell your worker what to make. Select "Planks" from the list. You can also set the number of planks you want produced. It’s like placing an order at your favourite bakery – "I’ll take 50 planks, please!".
5. Provide logs to the Woodshed Your worker or yourself needs logs to be available to start producing planks.

Tips and Tricks for Plank Prosperity

Okay, so you know the basics. But let's level up your plank game with a few handy tips:

• Early Game Grind: In the early game when you don't have many villagers, it's tempting to do it all yourself. Chopping a bunch of logs into planks is a good starting task to level up your survival skill.
• Location, Location, Location: Place your woodshed near a forest. Makes sense, right? Less walking for your workers means more planks produced. It's like having a coffee shop right next to your office – convenient and efficient!
• Worker Skills: Keep your workers happy! A happy worker is a productive worker. Make sure they have food, shelter, and decent working conditions. You can also raise their skills that increases production speed.
• Upgrade your Axe. As soon as you can, upgrade your axe. An Iron Axe significantly speeds up tree-chopping.

Beyond Planks: Building Your Dream

Making planks is just the beginning. Once you've mastered the art of plank production, you can start building bigger and better things. Think multi-story houses, bustling workshops, and maybe even a tavern to keep your villagers happy. The possibilities are endless!

And remember, Medieval Dynasty is all about building something lasting. Planks are the stepping stones to creating your own little slice of medieval paradise. So get out there, chop some trees, and start building!

Good luck, and may your planks be plentiful!
