It's a piece of wood. What more is there to say?

Logs are basic building materials with multiple purposes. They can be Refined into Boards, which opens up more recipes.

Logs are dropped from Evergreens, Mushtrees, Cave Banana Trees and Birchnut Trees after cutting the trees with an Axe. The larger the Tree, the more logs are dropped. There are three evergreen tree sizes, which yield 1, 2 or 3 logs depending on the size.

Tree Stumps from cut Evergreens and Mushtrees can be dug using a Shovel to get one extra log. Spiky Trees can also be cut with a chance of getting a log and another one when dug up. Mining full Tall Stalagmites may also yield a log.

In Werebeaver form, Woodie can eat Logs to replenish his Log meter.

Prototype Tips[]

  • A very effective method of harvesting Logs in the Reign of Giants DLC is to summon Bigfoot and let it stomp on a group of tightly planted Evergreens or Birchnut Trees.

Mosquito Bugs[]

  • There are actually two types of logs in the Hamlet DLC ("Rainforest Log" and "Teatree Log"). For some reason, the log icon in the inventory is "Teatree Log" instead of "Rainforest Log" since March 18, 2019 update; this also explains why the logs in the inventory are so different from those on the ground. The original "Rainforest Log" icon has been removed for no reason.
