Ancient Bark and Fiber changes
Since v1.0.4, any Pal with Lumbering level 1 can gather Ancient Bark, and since v1.0.3 trees drop twice as much Fiber. Together they removed the biggest early-base bottleneck.

Ancient Bark at Lumbering 1
You used to need a high-level lumberjack Pal for Ancient Bark. Now any Pal with Lumbering 1 works, so your first wood base can supply it. Find good lumber Pals in the /pals database.
Double Fiber from trees
Chopping trees now gives twice the Fiber. Cloth, rope and early outfits come together much faster, and you need fewer dedicated Fiber runs.
How to set up your base
Put two or three Lumbering Pals on a logging site and keep one on bark. Since every lumber Pal can do bark now, split them by speed rather than by level.
Where to gather by hand
Any dense forest near your base works for Fiber now. The doubled yield makes a quick loop with an axe worth it early on.
What didn't change
Wood and stone yields weren't touched, so ore and stone sites still need their own Pals.
