About
When a Timber Pile is built, it takes 133 hours (about 5.5 days) to dry. When dried right-clicking a Timber Pile and selecting Collect Boards will yield Dry Boards, Moldy Boards, and rarely Ghost in the Grain.
In order to decrease the amount of Moldy Boards you receive to the greatest extent, follow the illustration and requirement:
- No structures should be present within 5 tiles of the Timber Pile.
- Natural structures such as Trees, Stumps and Bushes also cause mold to the Timber Pile.
- Players, Creatures and Forageables have no effect on Timber Pile.
- Some structures such as Lean-to, Stake Claim, Tilled Fields, Paving and Logs or others that don't have hitboxes have no effect on Timber Pile.
- Even on perfectly cleared terrain, piles have a chance of becoming moldy and has a chance to spread to any nearby timber piles, So ensure that ever other timber piles are not within close proximity to one another.
Tips: You can hold Ctrl to detach it from grid movement, and hold Shift + mouse wheel to rotate it, so you can build it in the exact place you want to.

How to Make Dry Boards
- Using Any Axe Chop down a Tree to get a Log.
- Lift the Log and right-click on the Sawbuck to load in the Log.
- Using Any Saw make 40 Fresh Boards. When Chopping Fresh Boards you may receive a Coffin Plank by chance instead.
- Using 40 Fresh Boards and 10 Any Stone Build a Timber Pile on flat ground at least 5 meters away from any other Structure or Tree.
- In 133 hours, or about 5 1/2 days, your Fresh Boards will become Dry Boards, or Moldy Boards if you placed your Timber Pile too close to another object. When Collecting Boards you may receive a Ghost in the Grain by chance instead.
