The three squares of stone above and below are necessary to corral the growth, as seeds will not spread to stone.

No, this is not the minimal size. As long as electricity is coming from outside, you could move the seeds closer to the belt above, and replace the same belts with the arm->sawmill->arm system.

That would make it even smaller, albeit just a little, but it's not like the world is lacking space.

does wood grow 2 branches the same time? iirc it just grew 1 at a time?
i still run the belt in the middle, left and right side drills, then empty then wood seed :)

[Leahn Novash]

Wood grows only one branch at a time.

oh and you maybe want to hit up the guide section, as there is a wood farm build :D

[Leahn Novash]

Thanks, but there is nothing there I haven't covered. The guide focus on making as much as possible, and I focusing on optimizing the layout. If you want more wood per growth tick, add more seeds.

That said, I will try to incorporate some of his tricks. Who knows? I might be able to make this even smaller.

well and we pointed out that 2 drills per seed arnt optimized, as it only grows 1 branch, so the minimum you need is 1 drill per seed, not 2 so you could scrap the right side of your layout, making it even smaller :)

but what do you need THAT MUCH wood ever for?

You have a point. However, instead of scrapping the right side, the best route would be to add a second row of roots, so we grow both sides at once.

Have an arm feeding it to a table saw. Sell the planks for 1 coin per.

There is a table saw on the layout.

By fishing.

here's my wood farm. newly enclosed with regrowing roots on the right side after an axe mishap: https://i.imgur.com/JjHTrJN.png

The only thing you struggle with is with not being a toxic person.

Less space, less resources spent, less time building. There are other criteria than wood/minute.

What's the reason for five roots in the same branch? The wiki implies wood will grow every 2 or 3 minutes. I can see the point of keeping the root/drill ratio at 1:1 but your layout has far more roots than drills. Why?

I presume each root block contributes somehow, since these arrangements seem designed to maximize them.

HA, I had no idea drills could be used for wood too, thx!

I presume so, too, but how? Do each of them have their own spawn ticks?
