How To Make Money Fast In Lumber Tycoon 2

Wood is the main intended source of obtaining Money when sold at the Wood Dropoff, and is used to fill in Blueprints. There are currently twenty-one species of wood in the game, two are unobtainable, two are only available seasonally ,and one doesn't have its own tree.

There are two stages of wood: Log (unprocessed) and Plank (processed with the use of a sawmill). Both logs and planks can be processed in sawmills, however, planks will sell higher than its unprocessed stage. Logs will lose ownership if not interacted for a while, will not save to a player's base, and if left long enough, will eventually despawn. Planks will despawn upon the owner's leave if it was not on the owner's land.
