Forestry – ICARUS

Wood is one of the first resources you’ll use to craft in ICARUS, and it continues to be relevant deep into the Tech tree.

• Currently, wood is found in significant quanitity only in the Forest biome.
• To harvest wood, you’ll need a Stone Axe — you can collect the necessary resources to craft one by picking up sticks and rocks from the ground, and collecting fiber from bushes.
• After chopping down a tree, you’ll need to then use your axe to chop the fallen trunk until it splits into wood, which you can then pick up.

Uses for Wood

As you might expect, wood is used in a wide variety of crafting and construction projects. It can be used not only as a crafting element, but as fuel for fires as well — wood is second only to coal in its efficiency as a fuel.
