Timber Varieties and Forestry Woodworking in Nature's Spirit

guide

Forestry in Nature's Spirit introduces seventeen distinct tree species, providing builders with an expansive palette of colorful timber, unique bark textures, and complete carpentry sets. Each tree variety yields specialized logs that can be converted into standard construction elements, decorative panels, and watercraft.

Tree Species Overview

The seventeen native wood varieties span cold alpine peaks to scorched desert sands:

Aspen: Light golden-white wood found in temperate woodlands.
Cedar: Warm reddish-orange timber with dense foliage.
Coconut: Slender tropical palm timber harvested from coastal beaches.
Cypress: Slender aromatic wood growing in Mediterranean fields.
Fir: Sturdy evergreen timber found in cold northern forests.
Ghaf: Arid desert tree timber resilient to high heat.
Joshua: Fibrous desert tree wood with distinctive spiky silhouettes.
Larch: Needle-bearing timber with rich amber undertones.
Mahogany: Deep reddish-brown hardwood harvested in dense jungles.
Maple: Rich autumn timber displaying bright foliage colors.
Olive: Rustic Mediterranean wood with fine grain patterns.
Palo Verde: Distinct green-barked desert tree wood.
Redwood: Massive towering timber with deep crimson hues.
Saxaul: Dense arid wood adapted to dry gravel flats.
Sugi: Tall Japanese cedar wood with clean structural lines.
Willow: Sweeping weeping tree timber growing near wetland marshes.
Wisteria: Vibrant flowering wood featuring pastel purple and lilac tones.

Carpentry and Building Recipes

Every wood type follows universal crafting recipes for architectural fixtures and functional utility:

One log placed in any crafting slot produces four Aspen Planks (or the corresponding planks of that tree species).
Three Aspen Planks arranged horizontally along a crafting row yield six Aspen Slab items.
Six Aspen Planks placed in a stair configuration across the crafting grid produce four Aspen Stairs.
Four Aspen Planks combined with two sticks produce three Aspen Fence blocks.
Two Aspen Planks and four sticks craft one Aspen Fence Gate.
Six Aspen Planks arranged in two vertical columns yield three Aspen Door items.
Six Aspen Planks placed across two horizontal rows produce two Aspen Trapdoor items.
Two Aspen Planks craft one Aspen Pressure Plate.
A single Aspen Planks item crafts one Aspen Button.
Six Aspen Planks supported by one stick produce three Aspen Sign items.
Five Aspen Planks arranged in a boat hull pattern across the bottom slots craft one Aspen Boat. Combining the boat with a chest produces an Aspen Boat with Chest.
