How to Collect Wood from Old Growth Trees

Locating Old Growth Trees

Old growth trees are massive, mature specimens scattered throughout forest zones. They're visibly larger and more impressive than standard trees, with thicker trunks and fuller canopies. Search alpine, swamp, and normal woodlands to find them—they're rarer than younger trees but worth the hunt.

Harvesting Old Growth Logs

When you fell an old growth tree, it drops special log variants that differ from regular logs of the same species. These logs maintain the same wood type but come from aged wood, giving them a distinct appearance. Multiple tree species may drop the same log type, which helps keep your storage organized if you're collecting specific colors or textures.

Using Old Growth Wood

Old growth logs are ideal for large builds where you want consistent, high-quality timber. Because different species can yield the same log type, you can source your materials from whichever old growth tree is nearest, reducing travel time during major construction projects.
