Wood
Wood from trees or other fibrous plants. Useful for building structures and weapons. It is a good fuel for campfires and generators, and can be refined into chemfuel. In a pinch, a piece of wood can be used as a weapon or a leg.

Wood is a construction and crafting material vital in the early game.
Acquistion
Wood can be obtained by harvesting most trees, including plants like the saguaro cacti, using the Chop Wood command. Fibercorn
can also be grown for wood.
Every default scenario, except for Naked Brutality, starts the player with a select amount of wood. Wood is carried by bulk goods traders, trade ships, and faction bases. A single piece of wood is obtained when extracting a peg leg, wooden hand, or wooden foot.
A woodmaker dryad will generate some wood every 2 days.
Plant yield
The following plants provide the following amounts of wood:
| Plant | Harvest Yield |
|---|---|
| Bamboo tree | 10 |
| Birch tree | 27 |
| Burned stump | 4 |
| Cecropia tree | 18 |

Summary
Wood is used in the following crafting recipes:
20
Other uses:
- Wood can be used to construct buildings that use the Stuff system, such as walls or doors.
- Wood is used to refuel torch lamps, campfires, wood-fired generators, and fueled workbenches. Haulers take care of refueling.
- Wood is used to create peg legs, wooden hands, and wooden feet during surgery. These items can be requested by adding a bill under the pawn's Health tab. These body parts do not exist in item form; when extracting these parts, you simply get the wood back.
Deterioration
Wood deteriorates very slowly when left outdoors - a rate of 0.25 HP/day. For comparison, a wood log will take 10 full years to deteriorate into nothing, before multipliers like rain. So, for all intents and purposes, you can safely leave wood outside. The only real threat is fire.
As a weapon
A wood log can be wielded as a melee weapon. It deals more damage per second than a bare fist or beer bottle.

Analysis
 | This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Acquisition analysis, see table on Trees for initial basis, but add Woodmaker. |
Wooden buildings are quick to construct, wood itself is often easy to get, and most scenarios at least start with some. This makes wood a useful material for your early walls and furniture. Stone blocks require a bit of work to create, while steel is a much more valuable resource early on. Eventually, at least your walls should be replaced with some sort of stone, as a flashstorm, raid, or wildfire could light your entire base on fire. Note that as stone doors take so long to open and the fire risk of a wooden door surrounded by non-flammable walls and floors is minimal, using wood for doors can be acceptable into the midgame, and even indefinitely if they are not intended to resist attack. There is also no specific need to swap from wooden furniture at any point, though other materials might be selected for their improved availability, durability, beauty as the colony progresses.
Extremely wood-scarce biomes, like Ice sheet or Extreme desert, should conserve wood for a campfire or passive coolers until you can 1. create electric heaters / coolers, or 2. get the necessary clothing to survive. Ruins can be deconsructed for stone/steel, and steel should be used for the furniture instead.
Should your colony be visited by an Alphabeaver infestation, watch out! These ravenous genetically-engineered critters will eat every tree on the map if you don't stop them by force!
