REKA’s forest. A deal worth keeping.

Two needs draw on the same reserve

Wood supports the house and fuels the oven. That simple overlap changes how a gathering trip should be planned. A building project can consume the supply you expected to use for a meal, while a long cooking session can postpone the next room improvement. Decide which job comes first before collecting or spending more.

Our recommendation is to name a modest next use: finish a troublesome corner, prepare a requested dish or keep enough flexibility for the next lesson. This is a planning choice rather than a calculated universal reserve. The game’s current costs and your actual inventory determine what is sufficient.

Recognise a progression gate

The material reference places tree gathering behind the forest blessing. If crows collect other items but do not yet provide a dependable way to fell trees, inspect the current story lesson before searching for an extra tool, an invisible crafting recipe or a different button sequence. An action can be unavailable because the character has not reached its enabling agreement.

Keep that distinction in your notes. “Need permission” and “need more wood” describe different next actions. The first asks you to return to the lesson; the second asks you to choose a source you can already use. Treating both as the same shortage makes a simple errand feel mysterious.

Choose a gathering source you can explain

Alongside permitted tree gathering, the wood reference lists loose planks and old hunting structures as sources. These are useful distinctions when the next project is small or a story gate is still ahead. Do not turn the existence of one source into a promise that every decorative wooden object can be dismantled for material.

Choose one sensible stop on the outing you already mean to take. If the route also serves a conversation or an ingredient request, note both purposes. A useful trip can be short. There is no need to invent a fixed farming circuit or exact coordinates for a location you have not actually marked.

Keep the return in the plan

Before spending the newly gathered supply, revisit the purpose written at the start. Which part belongs to the house, which part belongs to the kitchen, and which action still fulfils the forest agreement? Those are three different commitments even when the same resource ties them together.

A practical field note can be brief: “roof join first; save fuel for the request; return to the replanting task.” We do not prescribe a quantity because this guide has not audited every current piece cost or oven consumption value. What matters is that spending becomes a choice rather than an automatic response to an available material.

Separate an old fault from today’s objective

Hotfix 2 addresses Leshy becoming stuck while moving toward the blessing. That establishes a specific developer correction; it does not prove that every unfinished forest task is the same bug. Check the current objective, the interaction you were asked to perform and your game version before reproducing an older workaround from a discussion.

Finish the session by recording the next unresolved action in your own words. The field journal can keep a preparation note and a checked reminder, but it does not read the save or award permission. The in-game dialogue remains the authority for the agreement your character has actually made.
