A tree branch is an item used in various crafting recipes.

Usage

Fire starting

A tree branch can be used in conjunction with a notched wooden plank to start a fire. To light a campfire, first ensure that fuel has already been added to the campfire, which will act as the kindling. The player must have the notched wooden plank and tree branch in their inventory. Right-clicking the campfire and selecting "Light Fire" > "Notched Wooden Plank + Tree Branch" will cause the player to attempt to light the fire, although there is a chance that they will fail, breaking/destroying the tree branch. If successful, the campfire will burst into flames, while the tree branch and notched wooden plank will be returned to the player's inventory. In earlier versions, this method of starting fire was only possible with sturdy stick and notched wooden plank. Now there is an alternative allowing the survivor to start fire from foraged materials only.

Note that this method of fire starting can only be used for lighting a campfire and antique oven, and will not work for lighting a charcoal barbecue.

Fuel

It can be used as a fuel for fires, and lasts for 1 hour if done so.

Training Carpentry

Tree branches can be used efficiently to training the Carpentry skill, while conserving planks for better use. Creating stakes and wooden spears are the most XP efficient. Creating stakes for use in crafting a tent kit then creating a stockpile of wooden spears can quickly provide the first couple of levels in carpentry when combined with the skill book, whilst saving planks for other uses.

Recipes

A tree branch can be used to craft a stone knife, stone axe, stone hammer, splint, stake and wooden spear.

Distribution

Tree branches can drop after a tree is chopped down.

Foraging

They can be obtained through foraging at any skill level, with a return of 1-3 tree branches. The highest chance of foraging tree branches occurs in Deep Forest and Forest (equal chance), followed by Grasslands at half the chance of Deep Forest and Forest. Other locations have much smaller chances of tree branches being found. Lumberjacks have a 50% bonus to finding tree branches and Carpenters have a 30% bonus.
