The average density is ~0.575 g/cm^3, but some species have much higher or lower densities than this average. The weight of a wood log or wooden object is based on the density of the wood. Enormous corkscrews and pipe sections made from nether caps are also magma-safe and can be used in a magma pump if other magma-safe materials are in short supply.
Fire can devastate a food stockpile filled with wooden barrels, so the use of metal or nether cap barrels should be considered if fire is a concern. Because of this fixed temperature, items made from nether-caps are both fire and magma safe. Nether-caps, however, have a fixed temperate set just around freezing. Wood can catch on fire, and generally should not be used around magma or dragons. The following colors besides brown are available: black ( Black-cap), cream ( feather tree), crimson ( Blood thorn), indigo ( Nether-cap), lemon ( Fungiwood), purple ( Glumprong), red ( Goblin-cap), teal ( spore tree), violet ( Tunnel tube), and white ( Tower-cap). However, some trees will yield logs of a different color, so objects made from those logs will share that color. Most logs are brown-any furniture, objects, or buildings made from them will be brown as well. Nonetheless, it's possible to specify the type of wood being used for a task, by pressing d and selecting the material. However, certain woods have distinct properties (such as color and density) that may make them more aesthetically pleasing or useful in certain specific applications. Note, however, that trees that only grow in evil biomes ( glumprong) or below the first cavern level ( black-cap, blood thorn, goblin-cap, nether-cap, spore tree, tunnel tube) will never be available for trading, since no trading race lives in an evil biome or penetrates the second cavern level.įor the most part, all wood is effectively interchangeable - an oak log can be used to make all the same things as an alder log. Traders may also bring varieties of wood that your local biome cannot provide (such as feather tree). Trading for logs can save your dwarves the time and risk of harvesting their own, or supplement their production if the local area is sparse or your fortress is operating wood-intensive industries (such as metalcrafting without magma). Most caravans will bring logs, particularly if your wood supply is low. The quality and material of the axe is not relevant to wood cutting - even a wooden training axe can fell a tree.(Note as of 0.43.03 this is not the case, you need a real battleaxe to chop down trees.) A second dwarf with the wood hauling labor will then haul the resulting log back to a wood stockpile. Provided the dwarf can reach the tree and the axe, the dwarf will go get the axe, go to the tree, and start chopping. Once you have located a source of trees, all you need to get started are two dwarves and a battle axe - designate the trees to be chopped down, and enable the wood cutting labor on the first dwarf. Underground, you'll need to breach a cavern, and dig out a room in a soil layer, or muddy a rock layer with irrigation. On the surface, this could involve walling off a section of forest or digging to cut off a wooded area from regular contact, creating an artificial plateau or hill only accessible through some other means (like a drawbridge or a locked hatch). The best that you can do is isolate a suitable area, ensure random dwarves and critters don't trample the saplings, and hope the trees grow. Tree farming is a matter of patience and luck, more than resources or skill, since saplings spawn completely at random. Some rare trees will only grow in certain biomes, or ones with a particular alignment, or underground. Underground trees will randomly spawn in any underground muddy soil once the appropriate cavern level is breached. Underground trees (actually forms of giant fungus) also exist in the caverns beneath the surface. Surface trees will randomly spawn in surface soil. Most biomes with soil on the surface have trees growing on them.
