Teak tree
Teak tree
An exceptionally strong hardwood tree that grows in warm climates. Because teak wood is so durable and water-resistant, it was used to form the keel of wooden sailing ships in ancient times.

Teak trees are a plant that only naturally occurs in tropical rainforests. Teak trees can also be grown by the player in any biome, but can't be sown in hydroponics. A mature teak tree yields 60 wood.
Growing
Teak trees have a base growing time of 32.5 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 30%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 50%. The following table details how long it takes for teak trees to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:
Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fertility (%) | 70 | 100 | 140 | 230 |
Grow Time (days) | 66.04 | 56.14 | 46.78 | - |
Base Yield/day[1] | 0.91 | 1.07 | 1.28 | - |
- ↑ Per plant
Teak trees have the highest yield out of any tree in the game, but also the longest growing time. As is typical with long grow cycle plants: teak trees may be more susceptible to blight in non-native biomes, and temperature changes will only further lengthen how long the plant takes to grow - although the latter can be circumvented with internalised growing.
In terms of yield per day, teak trees are the second best growable tree in the game; somewhat better than oak trees, but also somewhat worse than poplar trees.
Food Production
Teak trees don't yield any human-edible products.
Economy
The teak tree's raw product is wood, which has a market value of 1.4 silver. The refined product with the largest profit margin is a grand sculpture, having a 51.25%[1] profit margin. The following table details silver per day, per plant. It only factors in the 50% selling markdown; the market value of the products; and the yield per day:
Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
---|---|---|---|---|
Raw | 0.64 | 0.75 | 0.9 | - |
Refined | 0.96 | 1.13 | 1.36 | - |
