About the Game
A unique life simulation where you are a lumberjack building up a business and founding a lasting dynasty for generations to come.
Lumberjack's Dynasty is a mix of forestry, logging, business- and life-simulation with role playing elements. You start at a run-down logging camp which you slowly take over from your aunt and uncle as you restore it to its former glory. Along with cutting timber and hauling it to the mill for further production, you will enjoy various quests that will help you improve not only your business, but your character’s skills.
Choose your playstyle: quickly become a straightforward and professional lumberjack by purchasing, cutting and converting large forests into products, or explore the full depth of the game and experience the vast range of activities from repairing and renovating your buildings and vehicles, fishing, harvesting honey, and growing vegetables. As you build your business, you can socialize with locals, find love and start your own family.
Lots of fun (and hard work) is waiting for you as you build a successful Lumberjack’s Dynasty.

Update to v1.04.2
View on Steam
We have a bunch of fixes for you:
Changelog v1.04.1
Fixes and Updates
- The Green Mushroom Plate and Chefs Dream can now be properly created (if you know how to).
- The third mushroom recipe couldn’t be created – this now fixed.
- Achievement Master Cooks unlocks properly now (was not dependent on the above).
- Wife cooks dishes now, but player requires some distance from the home (He is at “work”).
- Changed the probability of the wife cooking to approx. twice per day, the food is nutritious, so no reason for her to cook more.
- Inconsistent load screen texts removed.
- Decreased the distance to where NPCs can wander off.
- NPCs should stick to their areas and follow paths and tasks at home more closely.
- Furniture factory: if the furniture production cue is active, the production button is replaced with a "Stop production" button. This allows the player to stop current production at will, without losing materials that are used in current production. If player wishes to order production of other furniture type and current is in progress, he has to stop current production and then start new production.
- Some more or less subtle changes in general display: more natural sky colors, more natural reflection, ambient light (esp. shadows) colors, more natural specular reflections, more natural general hues and light intensities, less jiggy clouds.
- Positioned a hammer icon more prominently (master bedroom).
- A previously hard to access location to apply paint is now easier to access.
- Paints have been adjusted.
- Some objects could not be picked up properly – this now fixed.
- By accident, the player had all the clothing in his dressing room. Reverted to those that were actually bought.
Graphic fixes
- Fixed various floating objects.
- Fixed various floating trees.
- Fixed various misplaced or missing objects.
- Fixed several clipping errors.
- Fixed some textures.
- Fixed a gap in a fence.
Update to v1.04.2
- Old timberjack can now be painted.
- Farm repairs had effects on uncle's dialoges when done in wrong order - fixed.
- Fixed the unloading of logs in water, which led to a miscalculation in the amounts and produced a glitch.
A small update bringing fixes to CTD issues in two localized versions:
View on Steam
- Fixed a crash when using the cruise control in Polish or Japanese versions.
- Reformatted RPM/Speed HUD tab info to accomodate longer texts visually

SPOILER
- Drones are sold by Jack, Jordan and Ashton (To restock, just sleep).
- Wearing working category clothing increases stamina and strength (faster work, faster running, slower stamina loss) but decreases money at selling bales/crates/pallets (not furniture nor stores) and decreases likeness at ladies (compliments and dating).

- Also altered repair socket searching/blocking mechanism for easier access in complex areas.

- Introduced ability to redefine all colors for paints. Just pick a color slot and you have a R/G/B slider for it. Not mandatory.

Today we have a small update that fixes a few annoying bugs and exploits. Here is a summary of the fixes:
- Previously non-active water drop-points located in the game-world are now active. Logs dropped there will float towards the lumber mill.
- Logs dropped off to the water between those points (along the path) will catch up and swim to the mill as well. Only a few river branches (or stagnant waters) cannot be used for dropping off logs.
- Logs further away from the mill float much faster than the logs near the mill – otherwise it would take a lot of time to reach the mill for them, if they floated there at same speed.
- Logs on these water paths are saved correctly and are 100% save compatible.
- Fixed a bug that left sold building materials in the inventory.
- Fixed the social points exploit bug which lead to randomly high increasing and decreasing social points amounts
- Polishes and improvements to terrain, riverbeds, several trees, and other world objects.
Thank you for your constant support and do let us know your thoughts below!
