To repair the broken bridges in Outbound, locate one along the river and gather 20 Everwood logs. Unlock the Sawmill blueprint and construct it in your van to transform the logs into 10 Everwood Planks. Each bridge requires 10 Everwood Planks for restoration, which can be found on either side of the drawbridge. After repairing at least one bridge, find the drawbridge controls located in a small control center to lower the drawbridge. Once lowered, it will remain in position for easier navigation. The newly accessible side of the river offers additional resources, including new wood and a durable ore, which require improved tools and an upgraded van to harvest.
