How do you use Saw Pit? |
Civilopedia entry[]
Boats are not shaped from whole trees. Even dugout canoes require a deal of processing. The construction of a ship, or building, requires that trees be transported to a site and carved into various planks. This is the function of a saw pit – a place where logs can be hauled (by horse, ox, or elephant) to be carved into manageable shapes. Early on, saw pits relied upon massive two-person saws; later medieval builders operated water-driven saws. Two skilled workers could produce a dozen boards a day, whereas a water-driven sawmill could increase that number by a factor of ten or more.
