Never enough wood

[skyfire13]

Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I'm pretty early in the game, Day 14, but I feel like everything I need to craft needs a TON of wood. The trees drop acorns so rarely (although I do replant them immediately) and I'm worried if I chop down every tree on my farm then I won't have any source of wood at all. Do I just need to shell out and buy wood from the vendor every day?

Have you tried venturing into the forests? There are a lot of trees to the West and East of Sun Haven. Also be on the lookout for the talents that drop extra logs - that may help. The East side has higher-level monsters though so beware. but you might be able to snag a few trees before coming across them.

the bits of drift wood early game also help, and like bendy said try and get in the forests, and be sure to plant those saplings around

[!?!]

Sell the acorns, trees regrow on their own. Like weeds.

but then you'll have less wood, person wants more wood :) personally I just bought 100 tree seeds to get a wood farm

[!?!]

Your only hope of ever running out of wood is constantly turning it into coal or selling it.

I burned through mine pretty quick and I go to woods weekly/do tree farm

Depends on how much you craft I guess (I dont make coal get lots from mines). Im JUST starting to get comfy wood wise (fall year 1) so I can totally get the early game wood shortage

I am not sure what game the others have played (who seem to have no problem with wood)
but...yeah this game sucks hard on the wood-front
(the "forests" have maybe 30 trees in total that regrow after multiple days, slowly)

best way to get wood would be to;
go into the mine and try to reach a deep level, then sell the havenite (and start using it a bribe for all the villagers ...gz you are now the havenite-dealer of the entire town)

use the newfound wealth to purchase tree-seeds from the seedvendor for 200 a pice and go to town (~500 treeseeds should cover you a good bid)

And ofc take the talents for more logs per tree ...and the treeshopper-spell, because cutting down this amount of trees can result in insanity

Thanks so much for all the advice, everyone! I'll definitely grab the skills that drop extra, and I'll start saving up to buy tree seeds and be more aggressive about cutting down the trees in the forests.

There is also a vendor that sells 50 logs per day pretty cheap. He is on the path to the mines before the smithy.

Lots? Theres like a total of 10 trees to the west and east.

Dont hack down the tree stumps. They regrow faster that way.

I am playing without mods. But i was also told by others not to chop them down so i just took that advice and didnt. And i dont have wood problems so there seems to be some truth within that advice.

ok Im going to test this, thx :)

Oh i forgot that later in Nel Vari you can get the Baby Stump Farm Animal which provides Wood.
