Forestry 2017 - The Simulation

About

Forestry 2017 casts you as a logging operations manager. You pilot heavy equipment to fell trees, sort harvested timber, and process raw materials into sellable products. Each task flows into the next as you balance efficiency and resource allocation to grow your business. Upgrades unlock larger machinery and more complex workflows, turning small woodland plots into full-scale industrial sites. The game stands out for its methodical pacing and detailed machinery mechanics. Community feedback highlights the satisfaction of optimizing production chains and the quiet focus of managing a wood-based economy. With a runtime of 20-30 hours, it appeals to players who enjoy slow-burn progression and practical problem solving. Available on console and PC since 2016.
