Footprint sizes in Manor Lordsvary by patch and (for burgage plots) by how you draw them in-game. Use the planner's drag-to-size tool to match what you see on your map — we don't hardcode any dimensions here.
Where to place the logging camp
- •Place it right at the forest edge so workers spend their time cutting rather than walking long distances to trees.
- •Site it where dense woodland surrounds it on multiple sides to maximize the trees within its working radius.
- •Keep a road or clear path back to your storage and town so logs flow in without long detours.
- •Position it near where the timber is consumed, such as construction zones or a sawpit, to shorten hauling.
- •Avoid placing it deep inside thin or already-cleared woods where it will quickly run short of trees.
Strategy & timing
- •Build one early since nearly every construction project and many production chains depend on wood.
- •Cut trees don't reliably grow back on their own, so pair heavy logging with a Forester's Hut and add a second camp in fresh woodland if the surrounding trees thin out.
- •Pair it with a sawpit if you need planks; charcoal kilns burn firewood from a woodcutter's lodge, not logs, so they don't depend on this camp.
- •Add workers to the camp to raise output, but only if there are still enough nearby trees to keep them busy.
Common mistakes
- ×Placing the camp away from the forest edge, forcing long walks that crater its productivity.
- ×Over-harvesting a small woodland until it's stripped bare, leaving the camp idle.
- ×Putting it far from where timber is consumed, so hauling time eats into output.

Frequently asked
Where exactly should I put a logging camp?
Right against the edge of a dense forest, ideally with woodland on several sides and a clear route back to town, so workers cut and haul efficiently.
Will I run out of trees?
You can if you over-cut a small patch. Felled trees don't come back quickly on their own, so add a Forester's Hut to replant and spread your camps across larger woodland to keep supply steady.
Do I need a logging camp and a sawpit?
The logging camp produces logs (timber) and a sawpit processes those into planks; firewood comes from a woodcutter's lodge that fells its own trees. Add a sawpit when you need planks for certain buildings or trade.
