Wood is an incredibly valuable resource in Disney Dreamlight Valley, required for numerous quests and recipes, often in large amounts. The game’s storage chests are crafted using wood, and those offering the most storage slots require a substantial amount of Dry Wood and Dark Wood. Here’s everything players need to know about farming wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to Get All Wood Types in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are four different types of wood that spawn naturally in Disney Dreamlight Valley's Valley region: Softwood, Hardwood, Dry Wood, and Dark Wood. A Rift in Time’s expansion into the DLC-exclusive region of Eternity Isle introduces just one new type of wood: Tropical Wood.

Each biome will automatically generate certain types of wood throughout the day for players to collect. Wood can be collected by simply approaching the item on the ground and pressing the Interact key; no additional tools are required to obtain wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How Does Wood Spawning Work?

Wood spawning below a tree in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, wood spawns randomly around trees in any biome, given there's open space on the ground. It won't spawn where other items, such as rocks or wild herbs, occupy that space, nor will wood ever spawn from fruit-bearing trees. The type of wood that spawns is specific to the biome, but any non-fruit tree in that biome can generate its wood type. This means the specific tree species does not impact the type of wood dropped, as long as it's not a fruit tree.

Wood can also spawn on tiles with outdoor flooring including paths and roads. Players can take advantage of this by placing this flooring around the tree, which prevents herbs or flowers from spawning in those spaces but still allows wood to fall and be collected.

To ensure each tree can output its maximum amount of wood, leave a grid of 2 squares of open space completely around the tree, regardless of the size of the tree. For example, a 2x2 tree will require a 4x4 squares of open space with the tree placed in the middle. A 4x4 tree would require 8x8 free spaces, and so on.

Trees in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The biomes of Disney Dreamlight Valley host a diverse range of trees, from the small ones in the Plaza to the large ones sprawled throughout the Forgotten Lands and Eternity Isle's Wild Tangle biome. Farming wood can be challenging due to some biome's dense foliage, particularly in the Forgotten Lands, where the dark environment makes spotting Dark Wood difficult. Below is a strategy for players to efficiently farm Dark Wood and Dry Wood.

How to Set Up a Dark Wood & Dry Wood Farm

Players who are explicitly focused on gathering the Forgotten Lands' exclusive Dark Wood can benefit from this specific strategy to ensure easy farming of both Dark Wood and Dry Wood. First, enter Dreamlight Valley's Furniture mode and remove all the biome’s trees and instead place a small arrangement of smaller trees, such as the Plaza Tree, which requires only a 2x2 grid of space.

If the player wishes to farm Dark Wood exclusively, they should place only 2 trees and collect only the Dark Wood that spawns, leaving any Dry Wood on the ground. This ensures that only Dark Wood will spawn after the maximum amount of Dry Wood has been generated. Again, for maximum effectiveness, all other trees in the biome should be removed. This will, unfortunately, result in a significant change to the biome’s atmosphere and aesthetic, and should only be considered if such a thing would not bother the player.

Does Foraging Help with Farming Wood?

The biomes in Dreamlight Valley feature numerous materials that spawn naturally in the wild, and can be collected through Foraging. Foraging involves any collection of materials done only by interacting with these items.

In contrast to foraging wild-grown fruits and spices, where players benefit from a villager's Foraging Companion Role, collecting wood does not yield any extra items through this bonus. Therefore, it’s recommended to regularly visit each biome and collect any wood that may have spawned
