User blog:Jereth Khan/Lumber Tycoon Maze Directions

I spent quite a while getting lost and finding the best routes through the maze. Visual maps were useless to draw or use so I did it all in text. Here are the results.

Intro To Spelunkering =Intro To This Stuff

This first part will take you as quickly as possible to all Black Wall locations currently in the maze. By taking the furthest left, going straight, and hugging the right wall all the way back to the entrance you can find them all. There are a couple of dead ends when taking that path to find the opening, so this route will bypass those. When you see ->BLACK WALL in the directions it means if it is NOT there, you're in the configuration listed. When looking at each configuration there will be *(Black Wall) remarks, this is so you can continue from there on your fist day's journey.

Other Notes


 * It should be mentioned, I have never personally seen more than one wall removed as once I hit the * first open one, I use the route till it closes


 * NEVER at any point should you be behind the entrance.


 * If you get hopelessly lost but don't want to reload, instructions to get to the hole home AND back to the entrance are in the last tab.


 * If would like to find them all the black walls yourself and try to find a better route; simply drive into the maze, taking the furthest right path, then hugging the right wall until you get back near the entrance. Bring 10 cheap axes and drop them at intersections pointing the way you went showing you've been there. Do this every day for 3 weeks and you will find every possible Black Wall.


 * -|Path To All Black Walls =Follow these directions until you figure out the day's configuration:

Once down the hill take a hard right and veer left. Drive straight until you can take a left (your only left). Follow this straight path until you can go right, and then go right. You will loop around 180 when you reach a wall. Here there will either be an opening on the right or a black wall. If it is open, you are in Configuration 1. ->BLACK WALL Turn around and loop back around the 180 turn. Hug the right wall and go straight until you have no choice but to turn left and follow that path. When you reach the end and turn right you will take the path on your right. Drive to the wall and go right then take your first left. Right after the left turn go right and straight. There are two lefts. The first may be an opening or it may be a black wall. If you see no black wall, you are in Configuration 2 ->BLACK WALL Keep driving past the black wall and take a left, then stay right. You will either go straight to a wall with a right turn, or hit a black wall. If there is no black wall, you are in Configuration 3. ->BLACK WALL Turn around and go straight, past the fork behind you. Take your first right. Follow this path all the way to the end until you can only go left. Take your first right, then right again. Go straight to the wall, passing 2 left turns, and take a right. Go straight keeping left. Just before you reach a wall with only a left turn, to the right there will either be a path or black wall. If there is a path, you are in Configuration 4 ->BLACK WALL Keep going and turn left. You will either come to a black wall or an intersection that is a fork to your right behind you or a straight path in front of you. If there is no black wall, you are in Configuration 5 ->BLACK WALL Turn around and go until you come to a 3-way split. Take the left path and hug the right wall. Go straight until you can go right. Turn right and hug the right wall. After the path curves right you'll either hit a black wall or be able to continue If there is no black wall, you are in Configuration 6 ->BLACK WALL Turn around and drive back around the curve. Take your first right, then right again. If there is a black wall here and you followed the instructions, then entire maze is probably locked down for whatever reason. If there is no wall you are in configuration 7


 * -|Configurations Info =

Tabs from here is the full directions for each configuration.

If it’s your first run of the day and you got to a ->BLACK WALL in the last tab and there was not one, go to the configuration and look for *(Black Wall) and you can continue from there.

   Reverse directions are also included so you can get out with your logs.

*Note: Sometimes there may be a better route, but directions are written for least confusing description.

*Note: It may take a few tried to get used to how I give directions, but that's one of the reasons this is a blog post and not a Wiki post.


 * -|Config1 = TRIP THERE:

Once down the hill take a hard right and veer left. Drive straight until you can take a left (your only left). Follow this straight path until you can go right, and then go right. You will loop around 180 when you reach a wall. Take the right turn and drive past the first right turn until you hit the wall. Cut almost 180, pass the left turn then hug the upcoming right wall. Keep driving through the winding corridor until you come to the next intersection. Turn right and hug the right wall all the way to the blue trees.
 * (Black Wall)

 RETURN: 

Drive straight and hug the left wall until it ends, this will take you full 180. Pass both left and right turns and drive straight to the wall. Turn right and hug the left wall until it ends. Pass the left turn and go till you need to do a 180. Drive straight to the next wall then 180 around the turn. Hug the left wall until you come to an intersection. Drive straight to the Entrance.


 * -|Config2 = TRIP THERE:

Once down the hill take the first left path. Drive till you come to a giving you left, right, and somewhat straight paths. Take the somewhat straight path to your upper right. (At your 1 O’clock) As soon as you take that path, turn left, and follow the wall to your left. Follow this path until you can turn left. Once you turn left, hug the right wall until it ends. This will take you around 6 small corners to your right. After a small drive you will have the choice to go left, straight, or right. (There will a sharp angled cut in the wall just before this) Take the straight path to the blue wood.
 * (Black Wall)

 RETURN: 

Drive straight and hug the left wall until you come to the first intersection. Drive straight and veer left. Hug the left wall. When you come to the first left/right intersection, go left and keep hugging the wall. At the next left/right intersection, go right. Hug the right wall until you can turn right or go straight, then turn right. Go as straight as you can and keep going till you reach the entrance.


 * -|Config3 = TRIP THERE:

Once down the hill take the first left path. Drive till you come to a giving you left, right, and somewhat straight paths. Take the somewhat straight path to your upper right. (At your 1 O’clock) As soon as you take that path, turn left, and follow the wall to your left. Follow this path passed the Configuration 2 Black Wall until you can turn left. Progress down this winding corridor until you can go left or right at a fork. Take the right fork and hug the left wall all the way around it 180 degrees. Keep driving through the winding corridor until you come to the next intersection. Turn left and hug the right wall all the way to the blue trees.
 * (Black Wall)

 RETURN: 

Drive straight and hug the left wall until it ends, this will take you full 180. When you reach the large open intersection, turn 180 and take the alternate fork from where you came. (Left side) Drive straight and take the first right. Follow this winding corridor until you come to a choice to go straight or turn 180 Go straight then take your first right. Take the very last left turn (only way you can go) Take your first right, then drive straight to the entrance.


 * -|Config4 = TRIP THERE:

Turn Left and follow the right and drive until you can only go left or right. Turn right and drive past the left turn. Turn right just after the left turn. If you hit a wall with only a left turn, you’ve gone too far, turn around and look to your left. Turn left and head down the path until you can turn left. Once you turn left, hug the right wall until it ends. This will take you around 6 small corners to your right. After a small drive you will have the choice to go left, straight, or right. (There will a sharp angled cut in the wall just before this) Take the straight path to the blue wood.

Turn Left and follow the right and drive until you can only go left or right. Turn right and drive past the left turn. When you reach the wall just after the Configuration 4 black wall, take the left turn. Go straight and hug right wall until you come to a path that forks with yours and a straight path. Turn 180 degrees and take the other fork. At the next fork ahead of you, take the left fork and hug the right wall. This will take you around 4 small corners to your right. After a small drive you will have the choice to go left, straight, or right. (There will a sharp angled cut in the wall just before this) Take the straight path to the blue wood.

 * -|I'm Lost = YOU ARE GOING TO GET LOST AT SOME POINT.

I’ve run this maze dozens of times and in all configurations. I don’t need to really think anymore figuring out what day is what or where I am going. Still, I get turned around at times; distractions IRL, not paying attention, dropping wood, etc. I have here a nearly surefire way to get back on track, find the trees, or at the very least start over without wasting another $400. You need to follow these directions to a tee though. Go to the nearest black wall you remember seeing. Face the black wall and look right. Hug that right wall. Don't stop following it unless you KNOW 100% where you are. No matter which black wall you chose, you will either end up at the blue wood or the hole to Safari 2. Exceptions: If you happen to be facing the tree side of a black wall you CAN end up near the entrance instead of the hole first. So keep an eye to your left at all forks if the day is configuration 6 or 7. If you are lost returning with wood, do the same thing. As long as you always follow the wall to your right from any door or the left wall from the forest exit, you will end up at the Safari 2 hole. Notes:
 * This method can take up to 30 minutes depending on where you are.
 * Left works as well, but can take you behind the entrance and will rarely take you to the wood and almost always the Safari 2 hole.

Safari 2 to Entrance Directions Simply drive away from the hole until you come to an intersection. Turn right at the straight/right intersection. At the next intersection, turn right and veer right. Lastly, turn at your next right to be at the entrance.
