How to Get Firewood and How to Use

Add to Watchlist

Firewood is Fuel necessary for upgrading burgage plots in Manor Lords. See how to get Firewood, how to use it efficiently, and what to do when you no longer have any firewood as you expand your territory!

How to Get Firewood

Steps in Gathering Firewood

To produce Firewood, you need to build a Woodcutter's Lodge and assign familiies to work in it. To avoid complete deforestation, set a work area to limit where it goes to chop down trees. Additionally, you can also build a Forester's Hut to continue planting Trees for you to chop down once they mature.

To efficiently gather Firewood, construct your Woodcutter's Lodge near trees. Once built, assign at least one family to work in the Woodcutter's Lodge to start a steady supply of Firewood.

As your population grows, and your need for firewood increases proportionally, consider building a Charcoal Kiln nearby to double the efficiency of your Firewood Fuel.

Alternative Ways to Get Firewood

Import from a Trading Post

Trade Route Cost 2 Regional Wealth
Import Cost 11 Regional Wealth

If you have a surplus of Regional Wealth, you can opt to build a Trading Post and import Firewood directly. This can help supply Firewood to your burgage plots, especially if your settlement has grown too large that the demand exceeds your current supply.

Firewood Information
Type Fuel
Raw Material/s Trees

Firewood is the primary resource used as Fuel for your settlement. Burgage Plots, for example consume 1 unit of fuel per month, which corresponds to roughly 1 Firewood. This amount is doubled during winter, so it is always a good idea to have a supply of fuel before the winter season.
