In Hytale, lightwood is a category of wood materials that players can find while exploring the world of Orbis. Despite its name, it’s not a magical resource, but simply brightly colored wood. It’s fairly easy to obtain in large quantities, but given the world’s size, it’s helpful to know where to go and which trees to chop.
Where to find the Light Tree in Hytale
The first and most common type of light tree is the birch . It can be found in autumn biomes located near regular green meadows . On the map, these zones are marked by red forests. Autumn biomes are similar in danger to regular forests, so exploring them doesn’t require special equipment.
Birch is easily recognized by its white trunk and light-green foliage . Don’t confuse it with aspen, which also has light-colored bark. Aspen leaves are yellow or orange, and its trunks are considered softwood, not light-colored, on a builder’s bench.
Autumn biomes are common and, like swamps, usually border forested areas. Enemies to be wary of include bears, spiders, and skeletons, and at night, Void monsters appear in these areas.
Light wood also includes logs from large Gamboab trees found in desert biomes. If you find yourself in the Badlands, you can chop down a few of these trees for future use.
What is light wood used for?
Light Wood is primarily needed to upgrade the Farmer’s Workbench . Various vegetables and Life Essences are also required for upgrading. Further upgrades to the workbench will require other types of wood, so it’s best to start gathering resources as early as possible.
In light wood construction , the same rough building elements are made as those made from hardwood . The difference is in color: light wood blocks are white, and roof tiles are grayish-blue.
