Mining and timber
Wood and Flitch
Wood processing turns logs and gathered branches into construction parts used across the homestead.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Wood and Flitch
Trees around the homestead yard and forest paths, with processing at the Sawhorse and Carpenter’s Workbench.
Before you go
- An Axe for trees and branches.
- Access to the Sawhorse and relevant woodworking recipes.
- Inventory space for logs, branches, and processed parts.
- A specific construction or crafting use for the material.
Farming steps
- Check the next woodworking recipe to identify whether it requires logs, branches, or Flitch.
- Take the Axe to accessible trees in the yard or nearby forest paths.
- Chop trees and collect the resulting logs and branches.
- Return to the homestead before your inventory is too full to carry the materials.
- Use the Sawhorse to process logs into Flitch when the recipe calls for it.
- Carry Flitch to the Carpenter’s Workbench and craft the required parts.
- Store remaining logs separately for recipes that use them unprocessed.
- Read the destination recipe before converting logs; processing is not reversible.
- Gather branches during a wood run so small wood requirements do not trigger another trip.
Repeat, collect and use
Tree gathering and woodworking are repeatable as accessible trees and materials permit; crafted outputs are consumed by their recipes.
Common mistakes
- Turning every log into Flitch: keep logs for recipes that require them directly.
- Bringing logs without checking the station chain: confirm the Sawhorse or Carpenter’s Workbench recipe first.
- Leaving branches behind: collect them when useful for the planned build.
When to stop or switch
Stop chopping when the displayed construction or crafting need is covered; return when a new recipe requires wood stock.
