Wood can be harvested from Arbor Trees or Floxes, and by crushing the Molts of Oakshells, or by other natural sources.

Besides its use as building materials, Wood can be used in the production of Heat and Power.

Usage

• As an optional Building Material in:

  Cots

  Ladders

  Outhouses

  Drywall

• As a required Building Material in:

  Wood Tiles

  Wood Blocks

  Wicker Door

  Sauna

  Hot Tub

• As a resource for various purposes:
• Wood Burner can burn Wood to generate Power.

  1.2 kg/s Wood = 300 W Power + 170 g/s Carbon Dioxide.

• Ethanol Distiller can produce Ethanol from Wood.

  1 kg/s Wood = 500 g/s Ethanol + 333.33 g/s Polluted Dirt + 166.67 g/s Carbon Dioxide.

• Kiln can refine Wood into Refined Carbon.
• Wood Heater consumes Wood as a Warming Station.

Production

• Arbor Trees and Bonbon Trees are a renewable source of Wood.
• Rock Crusher produces Wood from Oakshell Molt:
  • 1 unit small Oakshell Molt = 10 kg Wood
  • 1 unit (regular) Oakshell Molt = 100 kg Wood.
• Floxes can be sheared to make 60kg Wood per cycle.

Notes

• Wood is sometimes referred to with kg and sometimes with units.
• Wood is the only element in the Wood Category of building materials.

History

• U52-622222: With the release of The Frosty Planet Pack, but affecting all versions:
  • "Lumber" renamed into Wood
  • Changed from an Industrial Ingredient made from Genetic Ooze into it's own Element.
• U57-697549: Added Plywood element. Wood material now provides a +50% Decor boost.
