Feature Overview

Nail packs and paint buckets are vital special construction materials in Lumber Inc. While your sawmill focuses heavily on processing wood, you will need to actively gather these specific resources to supply your construction workers and complete projects.

How to Access

These materials are utilized directly inside your Workshop. You can check the current amount of nails and paint required for any active building project by opening your Workshop building on the right side of the main map.

Core Mechanics

Nails and paint buckets are primarily required to build houses in the Workshop, which in turn grants you Reputation Points. There are two main ways to acquire these building materials:

• Sawmill Orders: You can collect nail packs and paint buckets by fulfilling standard lumber delivery orders. Open your order list and scroll through the available clients to find orders that offer these materials as a reward instead of just cash.

• Lumber Pass: You can also earn substantial bundles of nails and paint by completing daily and weekly missions within the Lumber Pass seasonal progression system.

Tips and Strategies

• Cycle Your Orders: If none of your current sawmill clients are offering the materials you need, do not hesitate to reject the orders. Refreshing the client list is completely free, and you can keep skipping them until an order with a nail pack or paint bucket appears!

• Stockpile in Advance: Even if your Workshop isn't currently building a house, continue accepting orders that reward nails and paint. Stockpiling these items beforehand ensures you can immediately start your next big construction project without delays.
