Once your Sawpit is up and running, make sure to assign a family or two as they’ll be the ones collecting and dropping off materials such as Timber logs to the Sawpit. To transport logs to the Sawpit, players must find an available ox to help carry the load.

Alternatively, gamers can simply assign an ox to the Sawpit in its advanced menu so that there is a constant source of logs being delivered to the Sawpit.

Once the Sawpit is stocked with logs, these items can then be processed into Planks which can then be used for different buildings and extensions such as the Manor, the Brewery and the Church.
