Epoch construction is slightly different than vanillia dayz building/construction ...
I'm not sure how LOD is scripted ... as far as construction goes.
But the wood planks in industrial, you should be able to make a saw-horse or workbench , something like 2 lumber and one plywood ... then can take lumber , make more plywood. Lumber needed an axe and a knife to make.
Out of lumber and plywood ... you could make walls, floors, doorways, and window walls ... which was the most simplest way to "build" , out of wood ... but wasn't as "secure" as concrete and metal ...
Time consuming process, chopping wood , making lumber, then making plywood, then combining and getting more ... but, all it took was time once you had a few minor tools.
-------------------------------
Epoch did totally change DayZ way away from "vanillia" ... in many ways it was "better" and in other ways, it was inferior.
Epoch made it easy to gear up. Having "traders" , you could buy/sell almost anything and everything ... vehicles, food, drinks, backpacks, weapons ... instead of "searching" hospitals for antibiotics or morphine , you could go to the traders and just buy it.
It was in part "easy mode" for dayz. But keep in mind, epoch was "made for PvP" online play too ...
Being "easy mode" wasn't always a good thing. It was a bit "too easy" in my opinion.
The BEST part of Epoch has always been it's base-building/construction system ... While I don't quite like how they look , you could pretty much build how you wanted, where you wanted ...
I would do things like, make small "bases" or "houses" along the coast.
One time I built an entire forrest "tree-house" base out of wood.
I did a sea-side "base" complete with wood fence around it once, it looked like a beach-condo ...
I had alot of "fun" just designing bases, even big structures sometimes ...
