Wood

Template:Resource Raw wood is a basic resource that can be collected by hand. Raw wood has to be crafted into wood to be used in recipes, but can also be used as fuel in all burner devices (including cars and diesel locomotives).

Good Methods to Get Rid of Trees

• Mining with Iron axe, Steel axe (*)
• Deconstruction planner (*)
• grenading
• poison
• Driving a Tank over the trees
• Shooting swaths of trees with a Shotgun, Combat shotgun

(*) useable to collect wood. All other methods destroy a tree.

There are of course more, but these methods have a good ratio: tech vs. number of trees per minute :)

Collecting

Raw wood can be collected by chopping down a Dead Tree or a Big Tree. Dead Trees will give 1 raw wood and Big Trees will give 5. Dead Trees have a mining time of 1 and Big Trees have a mining time of 2.

Although collection of raw wood is easy to do, (using construction robots, and deconstruction planners) there is currently no way to completely automate the collection of raw wood, or replant it. However wood processing is planned, as discussed here.
