How to use the Sawmill in V Rising
If the Sawmill is powered, then all you have to do is interact with it, and then place some lumber into one of the “Input” grid tiles for it to start automatically turning the lumber into refined wooden planks.
When you interact with a Sawmill or any other resource-refining building, you’ll see a list of recipes at the top of the window, and then the “Input” and “Output” grids at the bottom. Each recipe is made up of two halves: the section to the left of the arrow shows what you need to put into the “Input” grid below; and the section to the right of the arrow shows you what you’ll get from the recipe once the building has finished working.
In the Sawmill’s case, you can see the first recipe indicates that you need to place at least 20 Lumber into the “Input” grid. For every 20 Lumber you add, the Sawmill will automatically break it all down and give you 1 Plank and 1 Sawdust at the end, which you can collect from the “Output” grid.
All these resource-refining buildings take a bit of time to work through each recipe, so it’s a good idea to leave the Sawmill (and other buildings) running while you go off and do other things. Then return to it and pick up everything in the “Output” grid together.
