Woodworks for Foundation for Windows

Quick summary

Woodworks for Foundation is a free Windows utility that changes the building and labor systems to make woodworking more productive and meaningful in play. It adds new job roles and a multifunctional workshop to improve plank production, furniture crafting, and local trade.

Notable additions

• A redesigned Carpenter position tailored for Commoners lets workers craft Furniture by combining Planks and Tools; each workshop can staff up to three employees.
• A multifunction Woodworking Shop is available, and you can convert the original Carpenter role into a Sawyer job that better matches Serf labor.
• Furniture produced in the new workflows is classified as Common Goods and can be sold on village markets, helping satisfy Commoner demand and strengthening trade.
• Sawmill throughput is increased so each processing run yields one extra Plank, and worker capacities at relevant stations have been expanded to speed up production.
• Important setup detail: previously built Sawmill structures must be reconfigured as a workshop to resume producing under the new system.

How it affects gameplay

The changes streamline resource handling by boosting plank output and expanding labor slots, which reduces bottlenecks when building or trading. Introducing a Commoner-focused Carpenter role creates a domestic furniture economy, turning raw materials into marketable goods rather than leaving them as simple inputs.

Setup and tips

• After installing, visit every existing Sawmill and toggle its function to “workshop” so it begins producing again.
• Use the Sawyer role for Serfs when you want to prioritize raw plank production; assign Commoners to the Carpenter workshop to turn planks and tools into furniture.
• Place Carpenter workshops near markets to shorten supply routes and keep Common Goods flowing to local buyers.
