When To Care
Care about the forester when wood cutting keeps interrupting research, building, or airship trips. It is strongest after storage and crafting have a clear wood input route.
Practical Use
Forester needs a clear input and output destination. Label the storage first, then add automation so it moves materials instead of hiding them.
Related Strategy
For machine planning, use a four-part check: input, output, energy, storage. If any part is unclear, the machine may create clutter instead of saving time.
Common Mistakes
- Do not place Forester away from its input, output, or power route.
- Do not scale powered machines before adding enough generation and battery support to keep the useful devices running.
- Do not automate a messy route. Clean storage and clear destinations first, then add drones, sprinklers, sensors, or other powered helpers.
