Storyline / Progression (Game Loop)

Oaklands’ beginner progression is presented as a repeatable cycle:

  1. Chop trees and mine rocks/ores
  2. Sell raw materials at the Resource Hub to make money
  3. Use money to buy better tools/vehicles and unlock upgrades/machines (via Oak Depot)
  4. Build/expand property and scale up automated production chains
  5. Optionally craft/build structures using schematics (including fancy builds and animal/creator-themed builds)

Gameplay Highlights & Key Tips

1) Fast Money Early-Game (Best Starting Method)

  • Avoid slow starts: the video criticizes chopping “tiny trees” as inefficient.
  • Go to Flowering Meadows and target massive willow trees.
  • Use a rusty axe, plus this trick:
    • Drive to the tree, exit/equip the axe, then get back in.
    • Drive into the tree while chopping.
    • If done correctly, the tree attaches/sticks to the car.
  • Then:
    • Drive the tree to the Resource Hub and sell it.
  • Core principle: bigger trees → more money (the video claims some trees can reach ~30k early).

2) Recommended Early Tools, Upgrades, and Vehicles

Tools/gear emphasized

  • Reinforced Axe (from Oak Depot)
  • Unlock the “uncertain pickaxe” via quest (the speaker mentions they have a guide)
  • Grabby Grabber to lift/handle items more easily

Vehicle/transport recommendation

  • Selna with an extended trailer to make moving large materials easier

3) Scaling: Property Expansion + Machine Production Chains

Property growth

  • Start with a tiny plot, then:
    • Open Build Mode (left side of the screen)
    • Select Expand Property

Automation setup concepts

  • Wood chain

    • Sander: removes bark from logs
    • Planker: processes logs after sanding
    • Tip: running sander → planker together increases value significantly

  • Rock/ore chain

    • Place raw ore into a refiner
    • Send outputs into a forger
    • Result: processed into ingots

Automation tip

  • Line machines up in a row so they automatically process materials.

4) Advanced Building with Schematics (Fancy Structures / Animals / Creator Builds)

Where schematics come from

  • Oak Depot
  • Golf shop
  • Aluminum designs

How to use schematics

  • Enter Build Mode, then choose Schematics
  • Pick a shape and place it

Important detail

  • A schematic is an empty shell—you must fill it with materials.
    • Add materials manually, or
    • Use a Material Gun:
      • Sucks up material and shoots it into schematics
      • Can also swap/consume materials

5) Building Controls the Video Calls Out

While building, the right-side menu includes:

  • Multiselect: select and move multiple objects
  • Global axis: adjusts rotation/movement axes
  • Move and rotate: affects snapping distance and rotation angles

Key “Strategy Summary” From the Video

  • Make money fast by transporting large trees (Flowering Meadows + the car-chop trick).
  • Reinvest quickly into stronger tools and better transport: reinforced axe, grabby grabber, Selna + trailer.
  • Expand your plot and transition from manual processing to automated machine chains.
  • Use schematics + material gun for efficient advanced building.
