# Timber Workshop

[The building book](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/timber-workshop)

Wood for the next cottage, garden and little improvement.

The Timber Workshop replenishes one of your main building materials. A completed workshop with staff actually at work is also part of reaching Lantern Village, the third village level.

## Make room for it.

Keep the workshop door and proposed route clear. Place it where the village can reach it while leaving nearby room for homes and a stockpile.

## Keep it working.

Production starts after construction finishes and an eligible resident arrives at work. The listed rate is a base working cycle, not a promise of uninterrupted output: sleep, hunger, comfort, upgrades and full storage can affect it.

## Improvements & appearance.

Use Improve in the building details to raise its tier, up to tier 3. Read the quoted materials and work time before confirming. The plot stays the same. Productive buildings gain output as their tier rises.

## If something seems stuck.

For progression, an assigned worker is not enough: the worker must arrive and be working. If timber production stalls, inspect the job state and available storage.

## Good neighbours.
