History
The historical timeline section of this page was contributed by former Pinewood executives ranging from 2013 to 2018, as well as by conversations with Diddleshot himself over Skype and Discord.

May - November

 * Diddleshot and a group of friends founded Pinewood as Pinewood Labs.
 * The earliest known games that were built were the Dog Food Factory in September and the ROBLOX Powerplant in October. The power plant was considered to be one of the first power stations ever built on ROBLOX, while the Dog Food Factory was replaced by the classic game Train Demolition.

November - December

 * As a remake of the closed Dog Food Factory, the Bread Factory was open to the public; a large bread-making production line which sole purpose is feeding a giant noob named Bob. It became known as one of the last existing "feed the noob" places to exist on the Roblox website, as the others have died out.
 * Later in December, Pinewood's first headquarters, named Pinewood Labs (2008), a medium-sized building in a similar setting and style to the ROBLOX Powerplant, was opened.
 * This very first Pinewood Headquarters building was made into a 'ruined' state for Diddleshot's CRUSH A BUILDING! game.

January

 * Pinewood Labs was renamed Pinewood Builders, and it was founded as a group with the latter name using the then-newly introduced Groups feature.

February

 * The Pinewood Research Facility (2009) was built. It was a three to four story, white building located in a large, relatively hidden compound. A tunnel was reportedly located past a checkpoint which at this time, was a mystery to where it led to.
 * A second headquarters was built. It was a much larger compound and was relatively hidden. Not much information is available regarding it at the moment.

Unknown date

 * Several facilities were introduced throughout 2009, such as the ROBLOX Laundromat, Pinewood Computer Core, Pinewood Space Station, (2009), the Mega Miners game, and the launch center of Pinewood's Space Shuttle Advantage.

2010

 * Vice President RedDwarfIV introduces Pinewood Metro, an automated train system, which is used at the Pinewood Space Station.
 * RedDwarfIV adds several updates to Space Shuttle Advantage.

2011

 * The Pinewood Builders Security Team was established to protect facilities, although its role was merely roleplay at this time.

August

June

 * The new Pinewood Headquarters was opened, featuring a 12-story office building located on an artificial island in the vicinity of Hong Kong.

January

 * ieyedude joins the PIA.

February

 * Diddleshot released a major update to the Computer Core, allowing the reactor core to initiate a meltdown. This would give the Security Team a major role in protecting the core from blowing up.
 * Throughout 2013 from this point, Pinewood, its facilities, and its divisions began to enter a modernization phase.

March

 * Rikuryo joins the PIA.
 * samirkimbrough3 joins the PIA.

 * Kyodo's account was hijacked, causing him to leave, but upon regaining his account, he did not rejoin Pinewood due to the aftermentioned internal affairs issue.
 * The rivalry between the fanbase of Pinewood Computer Core and Innovation Research Labs begin to rise as the latter rises in popularity, whereas the fanbases on both sides throw petty arguments implying one copied another.

July

 * Due to Innovation's sudden rise in popularity as a result of its blog recognition, Pinewood began to drop in popularity, losing the claim of being the largest building group at that time. This called the management to step up in activity after a while of Pinewood management not paying attention to Innovation Inc's competitiveness.

October

 * Pinewood News Network is founded by Chuba7 and SuperBen32, later becoming the official media outlet of Pinewood Builders.

November

 * An overhaul of the screens and the addition of several aesthetics have been added to the PBCC upon the suggestion and contribution of RobloxGuy6403.
 * The Pinewood Research Facility reopened after a full renovation of its exterior and interior design. It was now located in the Sahara Desert, with the majority of the facility located underground, and is now directly connected to the Pinewood Computer Core via elevator shafts.

 * Director SigmaTech announces the Pinewood Oil Platform to the public using his newly created Pinewood website, made through Wix. The website relied on ads to pay for its domain.

February

 * Director Woofmacht founded the Pinewood Broadcasting Corporation, with RobbyRBLX as the first PBC President. This was in response to the en masse-founding of the Pinewood News Network by Chuba7, which Woofmacht saw as an attempt by Chuba to gain power within the administration.
 * This led to a rivalry between the two media groups, splitting executives across the middle. Executives SigmaTech, DeathPossession, and Bill52600 remained with PNN, while other executives such as Woofenon, and Aeseru maintained their support for PBC. Diddleshot remained in both groups, declaring that whichever group performed better would become the official media outlet.source
 * Upon observing several roleplay firefighters performing trainings and patrols at the Pinewood Computer Core, an unofficial group named Pinewood EMERGENCY was merged into Diddleshot's newly created Pinewood Emergency Team.
 * P.E.T. would remain mostly disorganized due to a lack of attention given to it, resulting in its own supervisors and members creating unofficial subgroups that would leave P.E.T. in leadership squabbles.

March

April

 * FlightVector was appointed to the Board of Directors on April 3.

 * The Pinewood Intelligence Agency and Pinewood Security were reinstated with new replacements following April 6, with Executive Chuba7 being appointed as Head of Security, and ShatteredGuest assuming the role of Head of Intelligence.source
 * To compensate for the lack of a permanent training facility for PBST, security trainings were at the Pinewood Research Facility, with "field trips" to Pinewood Computer Core and Pinewood Headquarters.

Pinewood Builders Data Storage Facility (PBDSF)

 * Formerly known as the PBST Points Database, this facility stores points and other information for subgroups of Pinewood Builders. It was scripted by Uncondoned and built by Csdi.

PBST Hub (PBSTH)

 * A small hangar hub located in PBST's group games serving as a teleportation place to different Pinewood games and the new place to host mega trainings.

Pinewood Builders Multipurpose Research Facility (PBMRF)

 * Originally a Quantum Science game, TheWildDeveloper moved it to Pinewood and has continued development there.
 * Whilst the November 21st deadline approached, many Xylem devs were rushing to get at least the DMR Startup completed. On the day of, Roblox Studio refused to load, publish, and it even had its own fair share of errors, known as "Bad Allocation", along with a few others. The release of the game (and the Youtube Stream to follow) was delayed at least twice by roughly 30 minutes each time.
 * The re-release of the game on November 21st was a rough situation, as the game was filled to the brim with players on release. The first DMR (Dark Matter Reactor) Startup was planned to be done by Diddleshot. But due to many other players deciding to go in and start up the Reactor, Diddleshot and other Xylem Members had to go do it on a private server.
 * Members of PB have called the game PBCC 2.
