3030 Tips

3232 Befriend a Chop Pokemon before starting major building projects; without Chop, all lumber must be hand-crafted at the workbench, which is significantly slower.Pair Chop Pokemon with Gather-specialty Pokemon nearby so logs are continuously fed into the sawmill without manual hauling.Haxorus, Heracross, and Pinsir all have the highest Chop throughput; befriending one of these three is the standard end-game move for any Chop-heavy automation.Use Wood Chips dropped near Chop Pokemon habitats as fuel for burn-specialty furnaces; the two specialties form a natural production chain.
