In Disney Dreamlight Valley's Valley region, you can find four types of wood that spawn naturally: Softwood, Hardwood, Dry Wood, and Dark Wood. In the DLC-exclusive region of Eternity Isle, from the expansion A Rift in Time, players can also find Tropical Wood.

Each biome in the game will generate different types of wood throughout the day for players to collect. To collect wood, simply approach the item on the ground and press the Interact key. No additional tools are needed to obtain wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How Does Wood Spawning Work?

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, wood can be found randomly around trees in any biome as long as there is open space on the ground. It will not appear where other items like rocks or wild herbs are present, and it will never come from fruit-bearing trees. The type of wood that spawns depends on the biome, but any non-fruit tree in that area can produce its specific wood type. So, the type of tree doesn't matter as long as it's not a fruit tree.

Wood can also appear on tiles with outdoor flooring like paths and roads. By placing this flooring around a tree, players can stop herbs or flowers from spawning in those areas while still allowing wood to fall and be gathered.

To ensure each tree can produce the most wood possible, it's important to leave a grid of 2 squares of open space all around the tree, no matter its size. For instance, a 2x2 tree needs a 4x4 space with the tree in the center. A 4x4 tree would need an 8x8 free space, and so on.

Trees in Disney Dreamlight Valley - The biomes of Disney Dreamlight Valley host a diverse range of trees, from the small ones in the Plaza to the large ones sprawled throughout the Forgotten Lands and Eternity Isle's Wild Tangle biome

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, the different biomes are home to a variety of trees. From the Plaza's small trees to the large ones in the Forgotten Lands and Eternity Isle's Wild Tangle biome, there is a diverse range to explore. However, farming wood in some biomes can be tricky due to dense foliage, especially in the Forgotten Lands where spotting Dark Wood can be challenging. Here is a strategy to help players efficiently farm Dark Wood and Dry Wood.

How to Set Up a Dark Wood & Dry Wood Farm

Players who are focused on gathering the exclusive Dark Wood from the Forgotten Lands can benefit from a specific strategy to easily farm both Dark Wood and Dry Wood. To begin, enter Dreamlight Valley's Furniture mode and clear out all the trees in the biome. Instead, place a small arrangement of smaller trees like the Plaza Tree, which only needs a 2x2 grid of space.

If the player wants to focus on farming Dark Wood, they should only place 2 trees and collect the Dark Wood that spawns, ignoring any Dry Wood. This will ensure that only Dark Wood continues to spawn once the maximum amount of Dry Wood has been generated. Remember to remove all other trees in the biome for this strategy to be most effective. Keep in mind that this will change the biome's atmosphere and look, so only do this if it doesn't bother you.

Can Foraging Aid in Farming Wood?

In Dreamlight Valley, the biomes are abundant with various materials that grow naturally in the wild. These materials can be gathered through the practice of Foraging, which includes collecting items by interacting with them.

When players forage for wild-grown fruits and spices with the help of a villager's Foraging Companion Role, they receive extra items. However, collecting wood does not provide any additional bonuses. It is still a good idea to visit each biome regularly and gather any wood that has spawned.
