The '''Forestry Control Tower''' is a building to fully automated producing of {{infoicon|Wood|plural=s}}.
Successful forestry setup consists of four parts:
*designation of a control area
*creation of Forestry Designations within that control area
*assignment of [[Tree Planter]]s and [[Tree Harvester]]s to the Tower
*:<nowiki>*</nowiki>Do not forget to assign pickups to each Tree Harvester.
*supply of {{infoicon|Tree Sapling|plural=s|new=yes}}
Then, the Planter will plant {{infoicon|Tree Sapling|plural=s|new=yes}} and the Harvesters will cut grown trees.

Forestry Designations is assigned to the Tower unlike Mining Designation, and the Designation will be deleted when the Tower is deconstructed.

== Harvesting options ==
The Forestry Control Tower has a "Harvesting Options," that decides the size the trees should be cut. 100% is a standard option, and it maximizes the number of the harvested {{infoicon|Wood}} from each tree sapling. 60% can minimize the area for tree growing, but a +67% more {{infoicon|Tree Sapling|plural=s|new=yes}} are required than 100%.
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: right"
|+ Harvesting Options
|- style="text-align: center"
! Option || Harvested {{infoicon|Wood}} per each tree || Harvest from planting

|-
| 80% || 16 || 9.0 years
|-
| 60% || 12 || 6.3 years
|-
| 40% || 8 || 5.7 years
|}

== Control area, Vehicle assignments, and Idle vehicles ==
See [[Mine Control Tower]].

== Throughput of Wood harvesting ==
Tree Planter plants one {{infoicon|Tree Sapling|plural=s|new=yes}} per about 45 cells on average. If Harvesting Options is 100%, it takes 12 years (8640 {{time|icononly=yes}}) to grow them and one grown tree will be 20 {{infoicon|Wood|plural=s}}. So, for example, the area for harvesting 1 {{time}} of {{infoicon|Wood|plural=s}} is:
:45 / (20 × 60 / 8640) = 324 cells (20.2 Forestry Designated tiles)
In other options, the throughput is shown in the following table:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: right"
|+ Required area and {{infoicon|Tree Sapling|plural=s|new=yes}} to harvest 1 {{time}} of {{infoicon|Wood}} (version 0.5.3)

|-
| 60% || 0.0833 || 284 || 17.8
|-
| 40% || 0.1250 || 385 || 24.1
|}

== Forestry Size Calculation ==

Using these results the saplings needed (and hence forestry size) per assembler can be calculated, depending on your choice of assembler and harvesting option.

First, using the math above the wood generated per sapling per month ({{time}}) can be computed.
{| class="wikitable"
!Option
!Years
!Wood
!Wood/sapling/year
!Wood/sapling {{time}}
|-
|100%

|1.67

|16
|1.78

|6.3
|12
|1.90
|0.159
|-
|40%
|5.7
|8
|1.40
|0.117
|}
Second, assemblers making construction parts take:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Assembler
!Wood/assembler{{time}}
|-
|Mk1
|4.5
|-
|Mk2
|9
|-
|Mk3
|18
|-
|Robotic
|36
|}

From above each sapling takes 45 "tiles" or 2.81 "designations" (where each designation is 4x4 tiles). Putting these together, the designations (i.e. forestry size) per assembler can be calculated as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|Cut option:
|
!100%
!80%
!60%
!40%
|-
|Wood/sapling{{time}}:
|
!'''0.139'''
!'''0.148'''
!'''0.159'''
!'''0.117'''
|-
!Assembler Mk1
!'''4.5'''
|91
|85
|80
|108
|-
!Mk2
!'''9'''
|182

|342
|319
|433
|-
!Robotic
!'''36'''
|729
|683
|638
|866
|}
For example, using the 80% harvesting option and Mk2 assemblers: '''9 wood/assembler / 0.148 wood/sapling × (45 tiles/sapling / 16 tiles/designation) = 171 designations/assembler'''

Therefore, 3 Assembler Mk2 require 171 designations each or a total of 512, which is a square roughly 23 by 23 (under the 80% cut option).
