Composite Lumber
A composite lumber made from a combination of wood and plastic.
Notes
Composite Lumber is a tier‑5 building block made from wood and plastic, representing one of the highest tiers of construction materials. Because higher‑tier rooms provide better housing‑value bonuses and unlock advanced crafting‑table upgrades, composite lumber is a late‑game building resource that significantly boosts both experience gain and production efficiency. If your town has a reliable supply of composite lumber in the store, players aiming for top‑tier housing and workshops can skip the intermediate material tiers and start building advanced rooms immediately.
