To collect resources, tap the screen to cut down trees. As you progress, your lumberjack will automatically collect wood, and you can upgrade tools to speed up the process.

You can use the collected wood to build and upgrade your lumberjack's shack, unlock new areas, and hire additional lumberjacks to increase your resource collection speed.

Upgrading your lumberjack's skills can be done through the upgrade menu in the game. You can spend collected resources to enhance skills like cutting speed and resource capacity.

Unlocking new areas requires gathering a certain amount of wood. You can check the requirements in the map menu and once you meet them, tap to unlock the new zone.

To maximize resource collection, focus on upgrading your lumberjack and hiring additional workers. Also, regularly tap to cut trees manually for quicker resource gain, especially during events.
