− | | | + | '''Wood''' is a hard [[material]] found in nearly all [[tree]]s. It does not form the actual material of tree tiles, which are actually composed of generic [[plant]] material. Wood is instead dropped from trees as '''logs''' {{Tile|▬|6:0}}, the raw [[item]] form of wood, when it is cut down. For the most part, different kinds of wood are identical except for differences in [[density]] and [[color]]. It is generally more weak and lightweight than other heavy-duty materials, such as [[stone]] or [[metal]]. All wood is flammable, with an ignition point of {{ct|10508}}. Only [[nether-cap]] wood is [[magma-safe]] due to its fixed temperature. The harvesting and use of wood to make products is known as the [[wood industry]]. |

− | + | Wood is obtained by [[designation|{{Key|d}}esignating {{Key|t}}rees]] to be chopped down. Any [[dwarf]] with the [[wood cutting]] [[labor]] enabled and access to a [[battle axe]] will cut down the trees, which will turn one tree into variable amount of logs, which depend on the tree's size. Bigger trees yield more logs than smaller ones. | |
Trees start their lives as saplings. Saplings cannot be cut down until they mature into full-grown trees, which can take several years. Creatures frequently moving on a tile with a sapling will eventually kill the sapling, leaving you with a dead sapling occupying the square for a time before it disappears and another plant starts growing. | Trees start their lives as saplings.

If the soil does not have an immediate support for the roots, no saplings will appear. If there is no open space above, saplings will not grow. Underground saplings will begin to randomly appear in soil and [[mud]]dy underground rock only once one of the [[cavern]]s are exposed. Unlike above-ground, underground saplings don't require the below level to be unmined. However, they also require open space on the z-levels directly above them, otherwise the saplings will never grow. |

Logs and wooden products are available from [[trading]] by any friendly civilizations. Wood can also be brought before embarking. Logs are quite inexpensive, costing only three points per log, and bringing a large number can help jump-start the wood industry immediately. | Logs and wooden products are available from [[trading]] by any friendly civilizations.

Nine are only found underground, while the rest grow above-ground in various [[biome]]s, except [[mountain]]s, [[glacier]]s, [[tundra]]s, and [[ocean]]s. One wood is found in wagons. All wood possesses the same material properties except its density (which affects the weight of an item) and color. It is brown by default, and very few types exhibit a color besides it. |
The density of the material is the most important factor when choosing different types of wood. Wooden products made with heavier wood slow down [[hauling]], which negatively impacts the work speed of a fortress in the long-term. The type of wood used in weapons and armor also becomes important in regards to its force, durability, and weight. | The density of the material is the most important factor when choosing different types of wood.

− | Burning wood | + | Burning wood at a [[wood furnace]] is the only major way to produce [[ash]]. It is otherwise rare and difficult to obtain naturally. Ash is essential in the production of [[lye]], [[potash]], and [[pearlash]]. Lye is used for making [[soap]], and potash is used as a [[fertilizer]] for farm plots to yield larger harvests. Pearlash is used for making clear glass and crystal glass in [[glassmaking]]. Ash can also be used as a [[glaze]] for ceramic products. In total, ash has major applications in the soap, farming, glass, and ceramic industries, all of which derives from wood. |

[[Smelter]]s, [[forge]]s, [[glass furnace]]s, and [[kiln]]s need fuel to operate. Coke is produced from [[bituminous coal]] or [[lignite]], neither of which is guaranteed to be present on a map, thus charcoal is typically the first reliable fuel for an early fortress. If coke sources are present though, it is recommended to use coke over charcoal so that wood can be used for other purposes. |
Once [[magma]] is acquired, charcoal becomes obsolete as a fuel source for workshops. Despite this, charcoal is still significant in the production of [[steel]], where refined coal is required as a source of carbon. | Once [[magma]] is acquired, charcoal becomes obsolete as a fuel source for workshops.

− | Wood is an extremely terrible material for combat. It has the worst impact and shear properties out of the standard weapons-grade materials (even against bone), making it ineffective in dealing substantial damage, both blunt or cutting. Denser wood has a small effect on its force power, but it remains weak compared to metal. A creature's [[natural weapon]]s can be more lethal than a wooden weapon. Wooden armor provides little to no protection. Wood durability is low, and breaks very quickly from repeated hits against harder materials.

The material does not affect a shield's ability to block, and even [[dragonfire]] can be blocked without getting burned at all. Taking in their lower weight, wooden shields are more effective over metals for their maneuverability. There is still the drawback of wood breaking faster than metal. |
Dwarves can only create wooden melee weapons in the form of [[training weapon]]s, which are used in the military for training. They are useful for [[live training]] and [[danger room]]s, but are not necessary. Training weapons can also be bought from caravans at a cheap price. | Dwarves can only create wooden melee weapons in the form of [[training weapon]]s, which are used in the military for training.

Wooden crossbows suffer reduced damage in comparison to metal crossbows if they are used to bash enemies in melee combat.

The lighter wooden crossbow should be prioritized over metal ones for its less weight, minimizing encumbrance.
