Introduction
Seeing an opportunity to get bigger and harder wood, the Altis Lumber corporation has setup two lumber mills to process wood into planks (which have higher resale value). Once you have processed your wood into planks you can sell them to a Commodities Trader. Altis Lumber hopes that everyone will take this new opportunity to get wood on Asylum. Remember their motto: The harder the wood, the higher the value!
Requirements
- Axe: $50 - obtained at the Market
- Backpack: $250 - obtained at the Clothing Store

Method
Lumber Mill Location Marker
- Travel 1 km out of a major city.
- Find a tree.
- Scroll wheel on a tree with an Axe in your inventory.
- After a short animation the tree will fall over leaving behind a stack of logs. Rarer trees will drop rarer wood which can be sold for more money.
- Once you have filled up on timber you can immediately sell at a Market or a Commodities trader.
- A new vehicle has been added called the Lumber Truck. Is costs $180,000 and significantly increases the speed at which one can gather wood.
Lumber Mill
After gathering the wood, to maximize your profit you are going to want to take the lumber to the Lumber Mill. There is one near DP3 (West of Athira) and another one near DP 14 (North of Pyrgos).
- Mill your timber into planks.
- Planks then can only be sold at a Commodities Trader for cash.
- Planks are also used in the creation of Furniture at the Carpenter and Illicit Fabricator. See the Crafting Guide for more information.
