Use this vehicle to harvest trees, whether natural, [[Forestry Control Tower]] planted, or some [[Tree|decorative]] ones you want to remove.

It will first attempt to harvest the nearest one it can reach from the tree harvesting designation you've set (though rather than designations, it just highlights the trees), then it'll go cut down the ones in your tower area if there's none left.

Its maximum harvesting speed is about 1.67 trees/60. This assumes dense forest, refueling service, and no waiting for pickups/trucks.

The '''Rainwater Harvester''' is a building which collects {{infoicon|Water}} from rainfall events, stores up to 40 units internally, and provides it via a [[Pipe]] connection. It is the only source of Water available to supplement [[Farms]] until the [[Groundwater Pump]] is researched, though it still retains usefulness as a backup or alternate solution to Water collection as it requires no {{infoicon|Electricity}}, {{infoicon|Worker|ui-yes|plural=s}}, or [[Maintenance]].

During rainfall events, it can both simultaneously collect Water and provide it to the Pipe output.

On average, the Rainwater Harvester can collect 35-40 units of water per year (affected by difficulty and rainfall settings). During rain it generates 0.5 units of [[Water]], and 1 unit during heavy rain.

Designations

2025-11-19T07:31:17Z

Kayser:

== Mining ==
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One dug-out square of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

== Dumping ==
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level.

[[Retaining Wall]] are quite helpful if you wish to keep the terrain stable.

[[Loose Storage]] is more space efficient than a single height dumping zone, however, this holds only true for dumping zones lower than height 3. Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

=== Density of Dumped Materials ===
The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid x 1 grid x height 1. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

|}

=== Slopes ===
Below is a table the density values and slopes that materials make when dumped or mined.

Density is the amount of material acquired when mining. Specific Volume is the inverse of Density, i.e. how much volume material will fill when dumped.

Slope values describe materials tendency to flatten out when dumped or having its side mined. Slope values represent the in-game unit in terms of the height divided by length.

The angle of repose is the angle of the slope created when the material slides (calculated from avg. slope). A high value means a steep wall or tall pile will be formed.

== Tree Harvesting ==
You can define which trees can be harvested by the [[Tree Harvester]] using the left mouse button, and deselect them with the right mouse button. The harvester will start harvesting trees that are closest to it. You need to assign a transport to the harvester, like a [[Pickup]], so that it can dump the cargo somewhere, the same way as with the diggers.

For automated and sustainable tree growing and harvesting, see [[Forestry Control Tower]].

Designations

Kayser:

== Mining ==
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One dug-out square of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

== Dumping ==
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level.

[[Retaining Wall]] are quite helpful if you wish to keep the terrain stable.

[[Loose Storage]] is more space efficient than a single height dumping zone, however, this holds only true for dumping zones lower than height 3. Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

=== Density of Dumped Materials ===
The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid x 1 grid x height 1. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

=== Slopes ===
Below is a table the density values and slopes that materials make when dumped or mined.

Density is the amount of material acquired when mining. Specific Volume is the inverse of Density, i.e. how much volume material will fill when dumped.

Slope values describe materials tendency to flatten out when dumped or having its side mined. Slope values represent the in-game unit in terms of the height divided by length.

The angle of repose is the angle of the slope created when the material slides. A high value means a steep wall or tall pile will be formed.

== Tree Harvesting ==
You can define which trees can be harvested by the [[Tree Harvester]] using the left mouse button, and deselect them with the right mouse button. The harvester will start harvesting trees that are closest to it. You need to assign a transport to the harvester, like a [[Pickup]], so that it can dump the cargo somewhere, the same way as with the diggers.

For automated and sustainable tree growing and harvesting, see [[Forestry Control Tower]].

Kayser:

== Mining ==
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One dug-out square of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

== Dumping ==
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level.

[[Retaining Wall]] are quite helpful if you wish to keep the terrain stable.

[[Loose Storage]] is more space efficient than a single height dumping zone, however, this holds only true for dumping zones lower than height 3. Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

=== Density of Dumped Materials ===
The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid x 1 grid x height 1. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

Below is a table the density values and slopes that materials make when dumped or mined.

Density is the amount of material acquired when mining. Specific Volume is the inverse of Density, i.e. how much volume material will fill when dumped.

Slope values describe materials tendency to flatten out when dumped or having its side mined. Slope values represent the in-game unit in terms of the height divided by length.

The angle of repose is the angle of the slope created when the material slides. A high value means a steep wall or tall pile will be formed.

It's much faster than the smaller version, both in movement speed, and in cutting down [[tree]]s. You should just get rid of the old ones ASAP.

Its practical harvesting speed is about 2.7 trees/60 under good conditions.

The '''Tree Planter''' is used to plant [[tree]]s (obviously). To do so you need to:
* Grow {{infoicon|Tree Sapling|new=yes|plural=s}} on some type of [[Farm]], and preferably send them to a [[Unit Storage]] nearby.
* Build a [[Forestry Control Tower]], and assign some area to be planted with designations. Note that it won't work if it isn't dirt, like placing [[Farm]]s.
* Have a '''Tree Planter''' assigned to the [[Forestry Control Tower]], and probably a [[Tree Harvester]] too.
* The settings on the tower will control when the trees are cut down, there's a sapling needed/wood gained tradeoff.
* The effectiveness of the Tree Planter depends on the shape of the forestry designation, and the distance to saplings and the forestry tower. Under good conditions (compact shape, saplings and tower close, no refueling breaks), the planting speed is ~2.5 trees/60.

Fuel Station

2025-08-10T13:17:21Z

Kayser:

{{Infobox machine
| Name = Fuel Station
| Tier = 1
| Description = [[Truck]]s assigned to a fuel station will automatically refuel [[excavator]]s and [[Tree Harvester|tree harvesters]] at their working site so they don’t waste their time going for fuel on their own.

}}
The '''Fuel Station''' is a building which greatly simplifies refueling of vehicles by allowing for the assignment of fuel trucks, service as a personal refuel point for non-assigned trucks.

Assigning [[Pickups]] will allow for the delivery of fuel directly to excavators, tree planters, and tree harvesters. As Pickups have a much larger carrying capacity than the fuel tanks on [[Small Excavators]], they can effectively refuel 3-4 Small Excavators per trip while traveling from point to point at a greater speed than the Small Excavators can. Likewise, full-size [[Trucks]] can be assigned to provide similar service for the full-size [[Excavator]]. While it is possible for Pickups to refuel the full size Excavators, it might be more efficient to assign the larger trucks when possible.

==Access toggle==
The Fuel Station UI offers a toggle which determines if non-assigned trucks are allowed to use that particular station to refuel themselves. By default, this option is enabled. As only one vehicle can refuel at a given time, it is recommended to have one station with access only granted to refueling trucks and another with access granted to all vehicles to prevent bottlenecks which would allow excavators to run out of fuel if the queue is long.

Designations

2025-07-25T07:58:20Z

Kayser:

== Mining ==
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One dug-out square of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

== Dumping ==
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level.

[[Retaining Wall]] are quite helpful if you wish to keep the terrain stable.

[[Loose Storage]] is more space efficient than a single height dumping zone, however, this holds only true for dumping zones lower than height 3. Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

=== Density of Dumped Materials ===
The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid x 1 grid x height 1. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

Below is a table the density values and slopes that materials make when dumped or mined.

Density is the amount of material acquired when mining. Specific Volume is the inverse of Density, i.e. how much volume material will fill when dumped.

Slope values describe materials tendency to flatten out when dumped or having its side mined. Slope values represent the in-game unit in terms of the height divided by length. The angle of repose has been calculated on assumption that the game's units of length and height are equal.

== Tree Harvesting ==
You can define which trees can be harvested by the [[Tree Harvester]] using the left mouse button, and deselect them with the right mouse button. The harvester will start harvesting trees that are closest to it. You need to assign a transport to the harvester, like a [[Pickup]], so that it can dump the cargo somewhere, the same way as with the diggers.

For automated and sustainable tree growing and harvesting, see [[Forestry Control Tower]].

Kayser: improved density/slope table

{{stub}}

== Mining ==
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One dug-out square of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

== Dumping ==
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level.

[[Retaining Wall]] are quite helpful if you wish to keep the terrain stable.

[[Loose Storage]] is more space efficient than a single height dumping zone, however, this holds only true for dumping zones lower than height 3. Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

=== Density of Dumped Materials ===
The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid x 1 grid x height 1. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

Below is a table the density values and slopes that materials make when dumped or mined.

Density is the amount of material acquired when mining. Specific Volume is the inverse of Density, i.e. how much volume material will fill when dumped.

Slope values describe materials tendency to flatten out when dumped or having its side mined. Slope values represent the in-game unit in terms of the height divided by length. The angle of repose has been calculated on assumption that the game's units of length and height are equal.

== Tree Harvesting ==
You can define which trees can be harvested by the [[Tree Harvester]] using the left mouse button, and deselect them with the right mouse button. The harvester will start harvesting trees that are closest to it. You need to assign a transport to the harvester, like a [[Pickup]], so that it can dump the cargo somewhere, the same way as with the diggers.

For automated and sustainable tree growing and harvesting, see [[Forestry Control Tower]].

Kayser: /* Density of Dumped Materials */

{{stub}}

== Mining ==
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One dug-out square of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

== Dumping ==
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level.

[[Retaining Wall]] are quite helpful if you wish to keep the terrain stable.

[[Loose Storage]] is more space efficient than a single height dumping zone, however, this holds only true for dumping zones lower than height 3. Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

=== Density of Dumped Materials ===
The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid x 1 grid x height 1. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

=== Density of Dumped Materials ===
The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid x 1 grid x height 1. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

== Tree Harvesting ==
You can define which trees can be harvested by the [[Tree Harvester]] using the left mouse button, and deselect them with the right mouse button. The harvester will start harvesting trees that are closest to it. You need to assign a transport to the harvester, like a [[Pickup]], so that it can dump the cargo somewhere, the same way as with the diggers.

For automated and sustainable tree growing and harvesting, see [[Forestry Control Tower]].

Kayser: /* Density of Dumped Materials */ added updated densities

{{stub}}

== Mining ==
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One dug-out square of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

== Dumping ==
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level.

[[Retaining Wall]] are quite helpful if you wish to keep the terrain stable.

[[Loose Storage]] is more space efficient than a single height dumping zone, however, this holds only true for dumping zones lower than height 3. Meaning if you dump around height 3 amounts of material, it will be on par with storing that material in Loose Storage. [[Loose Storage II]] is more space efficient until dumping height 6, and [[Loose Storage III]] is more space efficient until dumping height 9.

It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level and at +5 maximum.

It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area. For that you need to assign a vehicle to the storage that you want to empty, assign that storage to the Mine Control Tower, allow dumping of that resource in the Mine Control Tower, and order the storage to be emptied. You might also have to restrict the storage to be emptied only by the assigned trucks only, as otherwise, other trucks might start dumping that resource elsewhere.

Biomass

Kayser: added clearer link to Biomass collection

{{Infobox material
| Name = Biomass

| State = Loose

}}
'''Biomass''' is a [[:Category:Loose products|loose product]]. Crop waste and food production create Biomass that can be utilized in a [[Mixer]] to make {{infoicon|Compost|new=yes}}, which can be dumped or made into {{infoicon|Fertilizer (Organic)|new=yes}}. Biomass can also be burnt for fuel in a [[Boiler (Coal)]]. Alternatively, it can be incinerated in a [[Burner (Solid)]] but this creates {{infoicon|Air Pollution}} directly.

If a [[Biomass Collection]] is constructed, the Settlement produces Biomass.

Kayser: test

{{Infobox material

'''Wood''' is a natural resource obtained through assigning [[:Category:Vehicles|Trucks]] to tree harvesting and designating an area for tree harvesting. It is primarily used in the very early game as a source of {{infoicon|Coal}}, from the early game as a component of {{infoicon|Construction Parts}} and {{infoicon|Household Goods}}.

Reserves of Woods on [[Home Island]] are clearly smaller than the demand till late game. You can use {{infoicon|Sawmill}} for providing Woods after the ones on Home Island are drained.
