Wood is one of the essential items you’ll need in Palworld, especially in the first few hours of your playthrough. The item is needed in several crafting recipes, including the Primitive Workbench, which is where you can create useful tools and weapons.
The good news is Wood is easy to find and collect, although you’ll want to be more efficient as you progress to avoid the grind of cutting down trees. Here are the best ways to get Wood in Palworld.

Collect Wood from the ground
The easiest way to get Wood when you boot up a new world is by collecting Wood on the ground. You can find fallen branches in almost every area of the world, which are easy to spot. However, it can be tedious using this strategy as your primary Wood-collecting method, so consider building an Axe as soon as possible.
Cut down trees

Cutting down trees is easy in Palworld, as you just hit the nearest tree and collect the resource. You can do this with your bare hands, although using an Axe will yield more Wood at a higher rate. The Primitive Workbench is needed to craft a Stone Axe, so make this your first priority when jumping into Palworld.
Wood is necessary in several recipes and building projects, and you’ll find yourself constantly needing it. Consider grinding a bit at the start to collect as much as possible to avoid having to chop down trees every few minutes.
Build a Logging Site at your base

Once you establish a base of operation, you can build a Logging Site to create a consistent source of Wood. You’ll need the following items to craft a Logging Site: 50 Wood, 20 Stone, and 10 Paldium Fragments.
After the Logging Site is created, you can either work the site yourself or have a Pal take over and supply you with Wood while you explore or take care of other tasks. A Pal with the Logging Skill is required, and Lifmunk is one of the earliest Pals you’ll encounter with this trait.
