Finding the Best Trees for Building and Harvesting

Locating Quality Timber by Biome

Different biomes now feature distinct tree variations that affect both aesthetics and wood availability. Old Growth Birch Forests contain tall aspen-styled trees with white bark—ideal for building projects requiring a clean, bright appearance. Taiga biomes showcase tall coniferous variations with dense spacing, providing abundant spruce and pine wood in compact areas.

Harvesting Strategy

When planning a lumber operation, prioritize biomes based on your building needs:

• Visit Old Growth Birch Forests for pale wood tones and open forest floors that make harvesting easier
• Head to Taiga regions for high-yield coniferous wood in naturally clustered formations
• Explore Dark Forests if you need darker wood varieties, though denser canopies make navigation trickier

The mod's reworked tree placements mean you'll find naturally organized groves rather than scattered individual trees. This makes strip-mining for wood more efficient—you can fell entire clusters without traveling far between trees. Pay attention to canopy density when choosing your harvesting site; sparser forests like the redesigned meadow edges offer faster clearing.
