totally useless epic workyard

[TotoMok]

I think (correct me if i'm wrong) the forester per slot, when upgraded, is equivalent to a level 7 building? So the epic is equivalent to 3*7 = 21 level 1 buildings (or 4 level 5 buildings). The footprint is less than 4 level 5 buildings. Additionally it can do other activities should your island evolve such that you need that, and it can of course be moved at a free cost.

It really shines when you start using it to produce coal or planks, as a single buff on it is more efficient than buffing 4 or 5 separate buildings.

As for the upgrade costs, yes, they seem high, but then again, many of us have so many excess resources or gold coin it is not really a bother. Perhaps it may be more accurate to say:

At your present state in game, you are not yet able to fully use the epic work-yard to warrant it.

easy answer
Exotic sawmill chain 3x
Normal EWS: 12min 5 planks per cycle
Woodyard EWS: 6min 7 planks per cycle -> 12min 14 planks -> ×3 = 42 planks / 5 equals 8 lvl5 regular sawmills (16 with two woodyards) = saves buffing and island space
Doesnt seem that useless to me

unbuffed building

Exotic sawmill is save alot of of space
2 best option:

1: pine forest: place one near pine tree then surrounded with cutter, save a lot of license depend on ur level upgrade.
2: Exotic plank: just need level 1, require 1x Exotic sawmill level 5. produce 3k Exotic plank per 12hrs with buff

... it s pretty useless with 2 foresters at level 4 each will produce more than 1 slot in the epic workyard ..

How did you calculate that? One slot gives you the same as two level 5 pinewood forester. If you use it for that you save 6 licences.

you dont need more than 2 foresters though?

yea got it now, i saved 10 licences for it, was just desapointed couldn t produce logs , witch it s odd really, don t think will do the quests to get ewp, i don t really need ewp, one of us has 200 ew sawmills on the island , so just swap 1/1 ratio . way quicker and way cheaper
