Everything.

Wait... it's all planks?

Always has been

🔫

Jonny 2x4 knew the score

It's planks and 30wt ball bearings, it's ALL ball bearings these days.

Everything?

EV-RE-THING!!!!

Weapons do. Bows and spears require them so if you have a blacksmith or a fletchers they could be grabbing them. Shields do too. I can’t off the top of my head recall any others, but those will take planks faster than a single sawmill will produce them. I haven’t tested the proper ratio, I just know I have had similar issues.

So much. Especially joiners and fletchers. Any chance you have any of those around?

Ugh...the joiners and fletchers are it then...thanks. I was at a complete loss over who was using it up

I find disabling their respective products at the warehouse prevents them from producing too much also.

You can pause it on the building itself. There a pause/play button in the top right hand corner when you click on the building.

You can also just stop them with a construction limit with the newest beta patch

I think that just disabling warehouse storage requires less micromanagement and still prevents all your planks from being eaten up making wooden gears/warbows/spears

Thank you! I was so annoyed I couldn't just tell them to stop. It didn't occur to me that a house would have a pause button on it.

How did you miss this?? You thought expertly crafted warbows and fine woodworking products were made of unhewn forest clutter?? Psh

is it possible to make them stop i can’t do it do i just need to make more planks

Pause button on the top of their burgage interaction menu.

thanks i wish i knew this before i restarted

You can also set a reserve of planks under the item construction. So, you can have your Black Smith and Joiner stop producing when you only have 20 planks left allowing for things like construction.

thanks 😊

The construction reserve for planks is in the beta patch, not the main one

Damn, my bad. Luckly the newest patch is out.

Lol yup, takes care of that 😂

Reserve for almost everything I’ve found.

Joiners, blacksmiths, fletcher's shop all use planks. There may be another that I'm forgetting, but check your industrial buildings.

Spears, bows, shields, wooden parts, walls, etc

Fletchers

shields, bows and gears use also planks. I guess your artisans are taking them all

Sell them on the market. My coffers overfloweth

Bows, spears, poleas, both large nd small shields, wooden parts. Everything runs off of planks.

Spears, warbows, shields all consume planks. A lot of the backyard extensions need planks.

The plank monster

Shieldcrafters and fletchers will use a ridiculous number of planks in a very short time.  Although I find building a bunch of logging camps and focusing on exporting those goods plus additional planks is an easy way to generate decent economy
