Overview
- Softwood comes from beech or aspen logs that must be turned into softwood planks at the Builder’s Workbench, with five blocks needed for the Farmer’s Workbench Tier 2 upgrade.
- Lightwood is made from birch logs found in plains/Emerald Wilds, and Polygon adds gumboab trees in the Howling Sands savannah as another source, supporting the Tier 3 Farmer’s Workbench upgrade.
- Darkwood Planks are crafted from cedar logs at the Builder’s Bench, with cedar located in cold regions such as Borea or coastal/coast‑near‑snow forests, and used in themed furniture like the Tavern set.
- Goldenwood is gathered by chopping Sallow trees in Burnt Island or fiery/volcanic biomes, while Drywood drops from sparse, yellow‑leafed trees in pale green desert patches; both feed mid‑ to late‑game upgrades and builds.
- Hardwood comes from species like oak and ash, with oak documented in the Red Zone, and players can use the F7 overlay plus leaf and trunk cues to confirm the exact tree type before harvesting.
