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.
