Feature Overview

Upgrading your factory triggers the core Prestige mechanic in Lumber Inc. Moving to a new sawmill represents a massive expansion of your business empire. While it may look like you are starting over, you are actually relaunching with a clean slate backed by powerful economic boosts.

⚠️ Important Note: Upgrading to a new facility is a one-way trip. You cannot return to a previous sawmill level once you have moved forward.

Core Mechanics

Each new sawmill tier rewards you with milestone prestige bonuses and a permanently higher income multiplier. To accommodate these massive upgrades, your physical production line resets. Your machines, logistics layout, and cash balance start from scratch so you can rebuild a more efficient factory using your new bonuses.

What Stays With You

Your overall profile progress is completely secure. When transitioning to a new sawmill, you always keep the following premium assets and currencies:

  • Diamonds

  • Reputation Points

  • Biz Points

  • Chests

  • Manager Cards (All unlocked managers and their level upgrades remain completely active)

  • Your Workshop (All construction progress and house blueprints are preserved)

 

 

Tips and Strategies

  • Leverage Your Managers: Since your managers keep their levels, your automated supervisors will immediately run your new machines at high speeds, allowing you to breeze through the early stages of your new sawmill.

  • Experiment with Layouts: Treat the reset as an opportunity! With your newfound experience and higher-level managers, you can prioritize and develop your new production lines differently than you did before to maximize efficiency.
