About
A Timber Pile is a Structure used to dry Fresh Boards. A Timber Pile takes 133 hours (about 5.5 days) to dry. When fully dried right-clicking a Timber Pile and selecting "Collect Boards" will yield 40x Boards in some combination of Dry Boards, Moldy Boards, and uncommonly Ghost in the Grains.
Normally you will always receive some amount of Moldy Boards, but there are ways to reduce the amount you receive.
- Make sure there are no Structures within 5 tiles of the Timber Pile.
- Make sure there are no Natural Structures such as Trees, Tree Stumps, or Bushes within 5 tiles of the Timber Pile.
- Make sure other Timber Piles are more than 5 tiles apart as Mold on one Timber pile can spread to others.
- Creatures, other pilgrims, Paving, and Forageables do NOT effect a Timber Pile.
- Structures with no hitboxes, such as Leantos, Stake Claim, Tilled Fields, and Logs do NOT effect a Timber Pile.
NOTE: 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.
make sure there's no Structures are present within 5 tiles.
How to Make Dry Boards
- Using 40 Fresh Boards and 10 Any Stone Build a Timber Pile on flat ground at least 5 tiles away from any other Structure, Tree, or other Timber Pile.
- Wait 133 hours, or about 5 1/2 days.
- Right-click on your Timber Pile and select "Collect Boards" to collect 40x Dry Boards, or Moldy Boards. When Collecting Boards you may receive a Ghost in the Grain by chance instead.
