Where can I get boards? Whenever I chop up branches or larger pieces of wood lying on the ground, I only get twigs. I'm slowly getting desperate.

Unfortunately I cannot help here, since I have just added this game to my wishlist after you posted about it. It looks so cute. I might be as frustrated as you with the gameplay ...

I am wondering if you need other tools for the boards. Do you have a saw? Maybe you can craft one?

Just guessing, not having played the game yet ...

The game is complicated in its simplicity. I just ran home in a panic because I couldn't light a campfire outside.

The gameplay is certainly not difficult, but it's not obvious.
