can't find.......

sorry for starting a new thread, but i am unable to find a search function to try to find the answer to how i produce pinewood planks without increasing my pinewood production, for the 'important pinewood' quest.
i turned off my cutters and foresters and sawmills, but then i can't produce the needed planks, and the quest is an all or nothing type - if i turn the sawmills back on, it triggers the cutters and foresters as well......
please help if you can, i can't continue until i figure this quest out.....

Check out this post.

thank you!!! that was exactly what i needed. much gratitude for your assistance!

okay, who produces pinewood? i have turned off my cutters and foresters, but still not reaching that 0 production of pinewood i need. got the other two taken care of, but that one is eluding me......

ah, never mind!! figured it out!! that's a really unclear quest for newbies.
