Hardwood is a vital resource in Palworld, necessary for crafting advanced items and enhancing your base structures. Fortunately, several methods are available for players to acquire this valuable material.
The most straightforward way to obtain Hardwood is by chopping down trees. However, not all trees yield this specific resource. Players should look for the distinct pinkish-red sakura trees, which are the primary source of Hardwood. These trees can be found in various biomes throughout the game world.
Once a sakura tree is located, players can harvest the Hardwood using a primitive axe or by assigning Pals with the logging work suitability to the task. Some Pals are more efficient at logging than others, so managing your base’s workforce can speed up the collection process. Upgrading your Pals’ skills or equipping better tools can also increase harvesting speed.
Beyond manually chopping trees, players can also establish automated logging operations at their base. By assigning Pals with the logging skill to lumber facilities or specific resource nodes that contain sakura trees, players can passively gather Hardwood while focusing on other activities. Ensuring a consistent supply of Hardwood often involves a combination of direct harvesting and an efficient Pal workforce.
Players who are further along in the game may also find Hardwood as a potential drop from certain enemies or as a reward for completing specific dungeons or activities. However, relying on these methods for a consistent supply is generally less reliable than actively harvesting sakura trees.
Securing a steady income of Hardwood is critical for progression in Palworld, enabling the construction of advanced crafting stations, better defensive structures, and essential equipment. Prioritizing the identification and exploitation of sakura tree locations is key to maintaining an adequate stockpile of this indispensable resource.
