Pinewood in Sector 2

Pinewood is an important chain in Settlers Online. Even though it's the first type of wood you work with, it remains important long after you stop needing planks for its use in making Coal from coking plants.

It takes a ratio of 2 cutters to 3 foresters to keep a balance so that you don't run out of trees from the cutters overworking, and on the other hand don't just have foresters sitting around doing nothing.
Your 2 cutters produce enough wood to feed either 2 bowmakers, 2 coking plants or 4 sawmills (or some combination, such as 1 bowmaker and 2 sawmills, or 1 bowmaker and 1 coking plant).

There's a spot in Sector 2 you might not usually consider placing things, as it's not the best shaped piece of land, but, it does present itself with space for a storehouse with 5 spaces immediately around it. These 5 spaces are also surrounded by pinewood trees, so is an excellent place to put down a setup.

The spot is just below the river towards the right hand side of the sector, and for mapping it out with roads, I'd recommend starting from the bush as shown below.


Once you have it mapped out, you can place the buildings as you'd like in the 5 spaces provided, and you're on your way.

Afterwards, there is also some spaces to the left you can place a couple of other buildings, maybe your 2 coking plants if that's what you need to keep it all together.


And that's about it. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to look at in the comments.
