Lumberjack Job — Logging & Sawmill Processing

ESX lumberjack job with a multi-stage chain — timed chop fells logs, a sawmill mills logs into planks, and a vendor buys them, all with server-authoritative item math.

Description

A multi-stage ESX lumberjack job: a timed chop fells a tree into logs, the player hauls those logs to a sawmill that mills them into planks, then sells the planks to a vendor. It sells because processing chains — raw → intermediate → finished good — give a server a deeper material economy than the one-tap gather jobs (miner, fisher) that dominate the market.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-trusted counts — every stage reads and removes from the server inventory; the client only signals intent.
  • Anim before dict load — wait on HasAnimDictLoaded before TaskPlayAnim.
  • Re-entrant chop — the busy guard blocks overlapping fell timers.

Corrective re-prompt: "Players are getting free planks. Rewrite the mill handler so the server reads the player's log count from its own inventory, removes exactly that many, and only then adds logs*PLANKS_PER_LOG planks — ignore any count argument sent by the client."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: uses getInventoryItem / addInventoryItem / removeInventoryItem / addMoney exactly as shipped.
  • QBCore: swap to QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer, Player.Functions.GetItemByName, AddItem / RemoveItem, AddMoney("cash", payout).
  • QBox: drive item moves through ox_inventory exports and resolve the player with exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(source).

Profit Potential

$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$900). [INFERRED] priced inside the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (n=100, median seller $11.85K/mo), scaled to a rising processing-chain niche.

Trend Signal

rising — strategy: Niche-selection matrix: multi-step processing chains are underserved versus single-node gathers (miner) and deepen a server's raw-material economy.

Sales Angle

Sell it to economy-focused servers as the processing chain that adds a real supply line — logs, planks, finished goods — rather than another one-tap gather. Recommended Tebex price $149.
