A log is a renewable material required in various carpentry recipes.

Usage

Transportation

Logs are very heavy, with an encumbrance of 9. The player can combine logs using rope or sheet-rope to reduce the weight to just a third. Up to 4 logs can be combined in this way.

Carpentry

Using a saw, one log can be converted into three wooden planks, providing carpentry experience and being useful in crafting. Logs can also be used to create log walls, which are slightly stronger than the variety crafted using planks, with the added benefit of requiring neither nails nor a saw to craft.

Fuel

Logs are a valuable fuel source for campfires and antique stoves, as they last six (6) hours and are sustainable. As logs can be cut into three planks which last 2 hours each, logs intended to be used as fuel can be cut into planks first to collect carpentry experience with no fuel loss. They can also be used to make charcoal with help of the metal drum.

Cooking

A log has a secondary purpose of crushing watermelons, though it is not as effective as slicing it with a saw.

Distribution

The log is the resulting product when a tree is chopped down, which is done most effectively with an axe. It can be found while foraging and inside log stacks.
