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! WARNING! When Collecting Boards with higher Madness levels you may receive a Hungry Hungry Termite which will devour your wooden items! 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 3 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. Building Structures Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure. Each material is followed by a series of three numbers. The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited. The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure. The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure. Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future. Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
