Sawmill

The Sawmill is the first production building unlocked in Whiteout Survival, producing Wood — a critical resource for construction and city development.

Overview

The Sawmill is where your workers process timber from the surrounding forests into usable lumber. As one of the earliest buildings in the game, it is fundamental to city growth — almost every building upgrade requires Wood. The Sawmill can be upgraded up to level 30, with each level requiring the Furnace to be at the same level.

Production

• The Sawmill continuously produces Wood over time
• Production rate increases with each upgrade level
• Multiple Sawmills can be built to increase total Wood output
• Eugene (Rare Infantry) boosts Sawmill output through his expedition skills
• Economy Research (Wood Output tree) further increases Sawmill production

Upgrades

Level Range	Furnace Requirement	Notes
1–5	Furnace Lv. 1–5	Basic production
6–10	Furnace Lv. 6–10	Production increases significantly
11–20	Furnace Lv. 11–20	Advanced materials required
21–30	Furnace Lv. 21–30	Maximum production levels

Interior Furniture

Sawmill furniture items that improve production efficiency:

• Workbench
• Blueprint Bench
• Steam Engine
• Changing Room
• Bellows (x2)

Tips

• Build multiple Sawmills early — Wood is needed for almost all construction
• Upgrade Eugene and station him for Sawmill output bonuses
• Research Wood Output in the Economy Research tree for passive production boosts
• Balance Sawmill upgrades with other production buildings
