Woodmaker

Woodmakers are a caste of Dryads, a type of animal added by the Ideology DLC.

Generates wood x32 every two days. Maintaining 4 woodmaker dryads requires between 8.2 (Skill 0, non-Connection ideoligion) and 3.6 (Skill 20, connection ideoligion) in-game hours of pruning per day. Or between 20,500 ticks (5.69 mins) and 9,000 ticks (2.5 mins) for 64 wood. In comparison, for the same yield:

Fibercorn requires 15,040 ticks (4.18 mins)
Timbershroom requires 12,288 ticks (3.41 mins)
Cypress tree requires 6,186.67 ticks (1.72 mins)

Note however, that these are base times and base yields. Plant Work Speed significantly affects the amount of work required, with low skill retarding rates until level 8, and high skill or the use of a field hand drastically improving upon the listed numbers. Additionally, Plant Harvest Yield negatively affects yields below skill 8, and increases it above. Both factors, as well as plant selection are relevant in deciding if planting is better than utilizing woodmakers

For example, if restricted to work-inefficient fibercorn, a healthy pawn requires a plants skill of at least 6 to produce as much wood/work as a skill 0 pawn maintaining 4 woodmakers, while with Plants skill of 14 planting and harvesting the fibercorn produces more wood per unit-work than a skill 20 pruner. More analysis on various options is needed for generalsations to be made however.

All dryads are immune to disease events and have a Toxic Sensitivity of 0%, rendering them immune to Toxic fallout and Toxic buildup.
