Natural generation

Certain trees are native to certain climates. Bamboo, acacia, kapok, ebony, and purpleheart can be found near the equator, but not in very cold regions. Larch can be found in cold regions, or high in the mountains.

There are many varieties of trees that spawn in the world. Some of these trees can naturally spawn in massive variants, such as big oaks. Keep in mind that these large variants cannot be replanted, as they only spawn in naturally (with the exception of redwood). Planting 2x2 saplings will not create bigger variants of the normal trees.

Propagation

Trees and bamboo are propagated by planting seeds. When placed on any soil , the seed will take 1 day to grow into a sapling, and anywhere between 5 and 28 days to grow into a tree or bamboo provided weather conditions are ideal. When trees/bamboo are harvested, seeds drop rarely. To acquire more seeds, break the leaves manually before cutting the tree/bamboo. Survival has a default setting of 2x growth duration for trees.

* Greenspire cypress log, when broken, only drops firewood .

Special cases

Some tree variants are spawned during world creation such as large oaks, large kapok, and old kapok. These larger variants of trees cannot be regrown.

Harvesting

  • When the player needs wood, trees are best harvested using an axe .
  • When the player needs sticks or seeds, the foliage of the tree should be broken first. Breaking leaves with shears harvests foliage blocks in a 3x3 area. A pair of shears does not itself raise the drop probability for saplings; however they allow faster harvesting than breaking every block by hand. Keep in mind that felling the tree with an axe without prior de-leaving will lower the drop chances of seeds for the remaining foliage.
  • When the player wants saplings, wait for a seed to grow into a sapling, and break the sapling.

Usage

When harvested, trees drop logs, sticks, and seeds.

Fuel

All wood items can be used as fuel and logs will burn for different lengths of time, depending on the wood type.

Crafting

Logs can be converted into boards using a saw or into firewood using an axe in the crafting grid. Redwood logs are obtained only from the branches of Redwood trees. Chopping the trunk of a redwood tree will instead yield redwood quarter logs, with bark on only one of the surfaces.

Special use drops

Pine and acacia trees generate resin that can be harvested by clicking with Right mouse button and used as an essential component in wood lamellar armor and windmills . Pine and Acacia trees are currently the only trees that yield this product.

Special use logs

Oak and acacia can be added to water in a barrel to make weak tannin and strong tannin, essential components in leather working . Oak and acacia logs are currently the only logs that can be used for this process.

Bamboo

Bamboo is a special subclass of tree. When harvested, bamboo drops bamboo stakes and saplings. Bamboo stakes may be crafted into bamboo planks. Both stakes and blocks can be burned as fuel in a firepit .

Bees

Wild beehives can sometimes be found in the foliage of trees. Most of the time you will hear the bees before discovering their hive. If you break the hive you can get some honeycombs but the hive will not spawn back. However, there is a way to transfer the bees safely to a skep for beekeeping at home.

Storage

Logs stack to 16 and can be transported in the player's inventory or stored in stationary containers, but may not be stacked on solid surfaces for storage(though log products including boards and firewood can be stacked on solid blocks); placing a log will require an axe again to relocate it. Seeds and sticks stack to 64 and can be transported in the player's inventory or stored in stationary containers. Saplings may also be stored in flower pots or planters for decoration.
