how do you get lumber in the tribez game

You need specific items like currently I need cheese to get the stuff to be able to complete any task on the farm- to get cheese you need oranges to do that you have to keep planting mystery trees and cross your fingers. The farm went well for awhile but then it turns into a repetitive money hog. Then after expanding still nothing to do but try to amass an unbelievable amount again to expand or else to destroy enemy camps but those require tasks that take months (I play multiple times daily btw). Literally spent 3 weeks trying to get enough “money” to expand as there was literally nothing else to do. Maybe it would be better or faster progress if I could connect with friends or complete tasks that don’t work. Its been super slow progress and monotonous.

The developers didn’t care until after my last review here and then asked me for more specifics which I was never able to connect with them to clarify.

Played awhile, complained about glitches that prevent me from doing all the features.
