About
A Timber Pile is a Structure used to dry Fresh Boards. A Timber Pile takes 3 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. A Timber Pile can NOT be Salvaged.
Even under perfect conditions you may 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, including other Timber Piles.
- 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.
- Structures with no hitboxes, such as
Leantos, Stake Claim, Tilled Fields, Logs, and Paving 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.
