Quick answer
Start the tutorial, watch one full chopping cycle, then spend where the slowdown actually happens: tree value, crew speed, carrying capacity or available floor space.
The verified game loop
- 1
Hire an animal crew and let it chop trees.
- 2
Collect cash from the timber loop, including earnings while AFK.
- 3
Upgrade the forest for better trees and more valuable logs.
- 4
Improve crew speed and carrying power when workers become the bottleneck.
- 5
Use free rolls to collect animals and unlock new floors as the empire expands.
Your first spending decision
Do not spread cash across every button immediately. Watch one complete trip from tree to payout. A slow tree break points toward crew speed. Frequent return trips point toward carrying capacity. Low cash per completed log points toward the forest.
This diagnostic approach remains useful after balance changes because it does not depend on an unverified price list.
Avoid these early mistakes
- Do not treat an unofficial rarity or price table as current without an in-game screenshot.
- Do not assume AFK income is separate from the same forest and crew upgrades used while active.
- Do not chase a rare-looking animal before the base cash loop can support your next expansion.
- Do not use third-party code generators or enter Roblox credentials outside Roblox.

Common questions
My Timber Pets FAQ
What should I upgrade first in My Timber Pets?
Upgrade the part of the timber loop that is visibly slow. Compare tree value, chopping speed, carrying capacity and available space before spending.
Can My Timber Pets earn cash while I am AFK?
Yes. The official Roblox description says animal crews continue chopping and earning cash while the player is AFK.
