Greetings!
I am drying wood to get Resin for the Stone Consolidant.
I am getting a lot of Dry Wood, and I do not know what to do with it.
What do you do with it?

It makes excellent fuel (furnace, campfire, etc), burns longer than coal. :wink:

As mentioned above, excellent fuel for furnaces ect…
Also, if you have spare resin, insulated wood for black ice build pieces.

Thank you both!
I thought only oil lasted longer than coal.

Good hunting!

Oil is useful!
Advanced armour materials and gear improvement kits use oil. Please tell this one you haven’t been burning it…?

I only get oil for the sole purpose of burning it.

Use a pickaxe to harvest more wood. That gives a lot of resin, which can then be used to create insulated wood. If you have need of insulated wood.

that’s not the point though is that he is already doing that because he wants stone consolidant and not insulated wood

Easier and faster to get resin when pickaxing a tree than drying it.
And the wood could be used for a lot of things afterwards (fuel, drying, making shaped wood, building).

Sure, but the advantage of using the dryer is that it’s constantly processing as long as it’s fed. No sense in relying on only one method. Might as well just toss some spare wood in the dryer when you head out to harvest resin from trees. Then you’ll have some extra waiting for you when you get back. Not to mention good fuel for your crafting stations as well. :wink:

Plus 1 wood gives you 2 dried wood.
But I usually collect dry woord from dogs of the desert and cimmerians, they are the best to have dried wood without a dryer in my experience.

Dry wood gives you insulated wood. Insulated wood not only is used for tier 3 black ice constructions, but for tier 2 wooden constructions and tier 3 benches. Trust me, even if you have 10k of it it’s not enough!
If you use it for fuel, soon enough you will be creating new in the dryer (1000 bark+ 500 wood=1000 dry wood +500 resin).
So, I would suggest you not to use it for fuel!
Use pickaxe to farm trees and you’ll get too many bark and resin too, so create insulated wood or stone consolidate with fiber and resin!
I use the worst fuel, branches especially on my cooking section, you get sooooo many that at the end you don’t really have a use for them :man_shrugging:. Even with a named carpenter you can create wood with branches, or dry wood, but I burn them :rofl::rofl::rofl:. RP reasons for stove too, it was working with branches not wood :wink:.
Coal…
Go to the silver mine with a bearer or a camel and farm the ground floor. Silver is not the only amount that you’ll get, iron, stones and coal can cover you for a week with a 30 min visit in the ground floor, if you want to go lower, you better have a good thrall with you or your bearer lvl15+. 2 scorpion bosses awaiting down there and one of them is the queen! Yet you gain the queen venom recipe, a legendary weapon, a legendary shield, scorpio babies, spider baddies, silver, Ichor, chitin, demon blood, feral flesh and stones. Silver mine solve fuel and other problems with just a visit, try it :wink:.
Beware, the basement is not easy, give attention and respect.
In my first days I lost thralls and gear down there, but it worth it!
Good hunting and have fun exile @Wonka, you upload the best topics here, thank you!

But the drier gives you both dry wood and resin, so you’ll always get more dry wood than resin. Insulated wood requires both, so you’ll end up with more dry wood than you can use to make insulated wood.

I always run out of resin long before I’ve managed to burn through all that surplus dry wood I get out of the drier, so I use it as fuel in most of my crafting stations.

Hey Wonka :slight_smile: Oil is best used only for crafting weapon upgrades and hardened leather for epic armour. Not sure why you’d dry wood just for the resin - far easier ways to get resin. Are you using a pickaxe on trees? Should get bucket loads of resin doing that, as well as bark.

If you are a farmer maniac, at some point in the game you have so much dry wood that you do not know what to do with it. You simply could build a castle out of dry wood. If you are at that point don´t bother with putting it in chests, just throw it away.

Having 10 chests full of drywood only cuts down performance.

With the Alchemist making oil a million gallons a minute use it for whatever you like. Heck, pour it on the floor and laugh at your friends slipping and sliding trying to get back up. :smiley:

Do as you wish! Every player chooses what is best for his economy and act for it!
It happened to me in the past to burn, dry wood too, or oil, or whatever I had plenty!
But every time I happen to burn dry wood at the end I was fixing new on the dryer and that’s a fact! I feel more safe to have 10k dry wood stored, or even better 10k insulated planks stored, than 10k shaped wood or 40k wood. The reason is the time! Farming 40k wood (along, bark, branches, resin) is 20 to 30 min, farming 1000 dry wood is almost a day! Unless you have 20 dryers ofcurce.
I burn a lot of branches, bearers drop a lot packs with branches and I don’t keep more than a wooden chest, the rest are burning!
The bottom line is that you can always burn what you have plenty and if this is dry wood then burn, why not!
