Hello
I would like to submit the following for consideration for the
/warp sflogging minibuild (no PDFs involved).
What I propose is a main lumber mill building made of proper sandstone like the main Sarsfield style with daub and wooden outbuildings for storage of carts, etc. Then, a little to the north a small lumber camp nestled between totally cleared, partially cleared and untouched forest. The style of this would be a little different to reflect its temporary nature and also the availability of lumber: for example, most of the works would live in temporary housing of tents or very small wooden shacks (say 6-10 of these).
Meanwhile, supervisors, families or larger groups of people might live in larger, more permanent homes but these would be stumped off the ground due to the mud caused by forest clearing. However, both types of housing will be more focused on sleeping and storage space with eating and cooking spaces skewing more to being outside and communal.
I propose the following layout:
And I have the following tests on my plot for various components (apologies for small images due to upload limits):
Retaining walls (due to the camp being in a hillside, downhill from the planned forest)
Signs of felling, clearing and preliminary branch removal (all the bits that would be done before carting to the lumber mill)
Worker temporary housing (due to them moving around a lot as the forest clears)
More permanent cabins (raised off the muddy ground and using more wood than the typical area style)
These tests and more can be found at
/warp mars but the build would likely achieve better integration with the surroundings if the surrounding forest was put in first.
Hope you like it!
