Crafting materials
Wood
Harvest the log type your recipe needs, then process or retain it according to the crafting requirement.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Wood
Tree stands outside settled areas, where you can identify the species and work without drawing nearby threats.
Before you go
- A suitable axe.
- Inventory capacity or transport for logs.
- A crafting need that identifies the required log or processed wood.
Farming steps
- Check the recipe or build plan and note whether it requires a particular log variant or processed wood.
- Move to an accessible tree stand away from settled areas and identify a tree you can safely reach.
- Use the axe on the selected tree until it falls and produces its drops.
- Collect the corresponding Birch, Maple or Pine log variant from the tree.
- Check that the collected type matches the material need before chopping more.
- Open crafting and process logs into planks or sticks only if that output is required.
- Store spare logs or processed pieces at base for the next build or recipe.
- Outdoors improves tree chopping and resource recovery, making it useful for a repeated wood routine.
- Keep log variants labeled or separated so you do not consume the wrong type in a recipe.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the chop, collect and process loop whenever construction or crafting consumes wood. Each trip is a new resource gathering activity; it is not a renewable planted tree farm.
Common mistakes
- Chopping without checking the recipe: tree species determine the log variant.
- Processing every log immediately: some recipes call for logs themselves.
- Gathering beside a settlement without an exit: pick a work area with a safe retreat.
When to stop or switch
Stop once you have the needed log type plus a practical reserve, or switch to another tree stand if the species is wrong.
