Sawmill turns Wood into Timber, the first construction material available. It can be built in Old World (and Cape Trelawney), New World and The Arctic.

Productivity

It takes 15 seconds to produce 1 ton of timber from 1 ton of wood so the production rate is 4 tons of timber per minute. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions, using items and electricity.
