Where to Find Hardwood in Hytale and What You Need to Build
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A quick guide on locating ash, oak, and fir trees for hardwood in Hytale, detailing exact biome locations and how the material is used for workbench upgrades and base building.
For players diving into the long-awaited sandbox world of Hytale, progression often comes down to gathering the right resources for base building and crafting upgrades. According to a recent guide by Marloes Valentina Stella over at Polygon, securing hardwood is a vital early step if you want to push your crafting capabilities further. Unlike many survival games where a single tree type yields basic timber, Hytale splits its hardwood category across three distinct species, meaning you have to know exactly where to look before swinging your hatchet.
The search for hardwood requires exploring different zones and identifying specific forest biomes. If you are hunting for ash trees or oak trees, your best bet is heading to the Emerald Wilds in Zone 1. Ash trees stand out as massive, dark green giants near the green meadows, while oak trees usually hide in the autumn forest biome, showing off light green or bright orange foliage. For fir trees, you will need to travel further to the Whisperfront Frontiers in Zone 3, where tall and narrow green trees populate the landscape.
Gathering these logs is not just about aesthetics, because you will need twenty hardwood logs to upgrade your farmer's workbench to tier 4. Having that upgraded bench opens up doors for more advanced building projects, including sturdy windows and specialized enclosures for your animal farms. As the community continues to map out every corner of the game and share building tips on streaming platforms, knowing these efficient gathering spots will save you hours of wandering.
