    Can somebody tell me the exact time for a lumber yard to make wood? I've waited a while, but I haven't got anything.

    I've have just about finished my city and do not think I'm going to expand it anymore since I have encountered many new players in the way and do not want to take them over. The coordinates are 300-340x/200-250y. We have lots of markets with lots of cheap stone and wood if anyone is in need. I'm still thinking what I should name the town, but I'm thinking something along the lines of Rockwood or Stonesberg because of the large (and unnecessary) amount of quarries and lumber yards.
    Side note: if you are coming from the sea south of my city you will have to pay 10 coins to cross the border. We have had many problems with people jumping the border without paying, those who do not pay the 10 coins will be deported!

    He did mine as well. His resource base is huge though where he's mainly at bottom left.

    I'm in the process of surrounding my city with a very dense forest. That's why my charity is ridiculously high right now.

    And here emerges the perfect example of the mindset of capitalism. Congrats gormster, your experiment has succeeded!

    On a side note, what did everyone spend their first iron on? I personally started with advanced iron mines. How quickly do luxury houses appreciate?

    Music

    Tip for others about game music.

    Problem: If playing the game with headphones on the music is not muted even when my device's mute switch is on, the game music will also override podcasts or music from other apps that are playing when you open the game.

    Solution: The trick (most may already know this) is to swipe up from the bottom when in the game, and hit the "play button" in your control center - this should switch you from the game music back to the podcast or other music you were listening to.

    Small suggestion to dev for in-game mute switch to be added to the app to make this easier for all.

    PS I also spent my first iron on advanced iron mines, seemed like a good reinvestment.

    I sold my first irons in order to get more wood, then more stone and finally mine iron as much as possible.

    Charity vs Forestration

    Calling tree planting "Charity" has two issues:
    1) you can harvest them yourself, so not Charity
    2) if they don't get harvested by someone else then it is not technically "Charity"

    A better term for points awarded for tree planting is "Forestration", so when you plant a tree you get points in a leaderboard for "Forestration" (and points subtracted for any deforestration), and then when someone else chops down your trees you get additional points in another leaderboard for "Charity" bc someone else benefited (and that other person loses points in the Forestration leaderboard).

    Just a suggestion.

    You have to walk around to earn gold. A lumber yard cost 40gold, you get 1 wood per hour with a lumber.

    You can simply generate quick money by buying ressources in market at low price and sell back in another market with higher price.
