Wood Planks are an advanced crafting material inEnshroudedthat players will need to make progress. Not everything can be made with raw wood alone, and if you want to make better buildings and fancier equipment, you’re going to need Wood Planks in bulk.
Unlike basicEnshroudedmaterials like Wood and Stone, getting Wood Planks is going to take a while. There’s a list of things to do before you can start making refined material, so here’s a guide covering all the necessary steps you need to take to help you get started.
How to Make Wood Planks in Enshrouded
Wood Planks are made at a Table Saw using Wood Logs. Each log yields two Wood Planks, and it takes about a minute for the process to finish. Getting Wood Logs is easy, but if you haven’t made much progress into your playthrough yet, then getting the Table Saw is going to be a problem.
To get a Table Saw, you need to find andfree the Carpenter inEnshrouded.He is one of the NPCs that you may summon to your base. You can find the Carpenter’s vaultjust east of the Cinder Vault, the game’s starting point. Before you get there, you’ll want to get a Grappling Hook and Glider for traversal, and a strengthened Flame at the Flame Altar so you can survive in higher-level Shroud areas.
Once the Carpenter is free, you’ll then need to do a short quest for him to unlock the Table Saw recipe. In this quest, he’ll ask you tofind a Circular Sawbladein a place called Thornhold. you’re able to find itsoutheast of the Revelwood Ancient Spire, though it should also be marked on your map for easy navigation.
Thornhold and its surrounding areas are home to Scavengers that are about level 13. With that in mind, we strongly suggest getting better equipment for your class andleveling up inEnshroudedbefore heading there.
What are Wood Planks For?
Wood Planks are mainly used for making crafting stations, furniture, and building materials. Some important furniture and crafting stations that need Wood Planks are:
These three items alone will unlock a ton of new crafting recipes. Additionally, if you’re a builder who is looking for some new blocks to play with, Wood Planks are also needed for Refined Wood Blocks, which are a cut above the regular Rough Wood Blocks in terms of aesthetic.
