How to Get Wood in Fallout 76 - Explained!

Wood is a crucial resource for building structures, crafting tools, and customizing your gear in Fallout 76. However, unlike real-world scenarios, you can't just simply chop down trees to obtain Wood. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the best ways to get Wood in Fallout 76, ensuring you never run out of this essential resource.

Loot Logging Camps

One of the most effective ways to farm Wood is by visiting logging camps scattered throughout the Appalachian Wasteland. These areas are packed with piles of Wood and Firewood, which can collectively grant up to 2,500 Wood Scraps.

Some notable locations to check out include:

• Sylvie & Sons Logging Camp
• Prickett's Fort
• West Virginia Lumber Corporation
• Middle Mountain Cabins
• Gilman Lumber Mill
• The Thorn
• Helvetia

While exploring these logging camps, be sure to spam the action button around the Wood piles to gather as many scraps as possible. Additionally, interacting with the lumberjacks may reward you with an extra Bulk Wood or two.

Gathering Wood from Fallen Trees

Another straightforward method for farming Wood is by collecting it directly from fallen or dead trees. To do so, simply approach a tree trunk, branch, or log on the ground and press the action button to grab it. Some prime locations for this technique include:

• The forest southwest of Vault 76
• Graninger Farm
• The area around Watoga (southeast of the map)

Scrapping Wooden Junk Items

In addition to looting and gathering, you can also get Wood by scrapping wooden junk items at a Tinker's Workbench. Items like acoustic guitars, blacksmith hammers, ski boards, and picture frames are excellent sources of Wood.

Simply open the Scrap Items menu, select the desired wooden objects, and extract their Wood components.

Best Workshops for Wood Farming

Fallout 76 also offers the option of setting up Wood Extractors in various workshops. The Dolly Sods Campground is considered the best location for this, as it allows you to set up to three Wood Extractors, yielding approximately 75 Wood Scraps per hour.

Other notable workshops for Wood farming include:

• Debney Homestead
• George Junkyard
• Lakeside Cabins
• Monongah Power Plant Yard
• Thunder Mountain Power Plant Yard

To maximize efficiency, look for large piles of Wood within the workshops, as these are the ideal spots for placing your Wood Extractors.

Server Hopping & Perk Matching

To make the most of your Wood farming endeavors, consider employing two key strategies: server-hopping and perk-matching.

Server-hopping involves jumping between different world servers to trigger the respawning of Wood piles, allowing you to loot the same areas repeatedly.

Meanwhile, equipping the Woodchucker perk card will double the amount of Wood you collect when harvesting, ensuring you get four Wood Scraps for every pair you gather.
