Lumber Foundation — Detailed Guide

The Lumber Foundation is the base piece of every Primitive Plus lumber building. Without a foundation you cannot place most walls and structures in an area.

How to get it

Craft it from 100 Lumber and 40 Stone.

What it is used for

Lay a grid of foundations first, then build walls, doorframes and ceilings on top. Each one weighs 4 and they stack to 100.

Tips

A 3 by 3 starter house already needs 900 Lumber in foundations alone, so run the Lumber Station for a while before you start.
