Tree Types, Wood and Sap Guide

Six resource trees supply the core Wood materials, natural drops and Sap Collector outputs used throughout village progression. Use this guide for resource trees, not Fruit Trees or decorative landscaping.

The short version

Pick the tree for the material you need.

Chestnut, Oak and Pine produce Wood. Cedar produces Easy Wood, Cypress produces Hard Wood and Bamboo produces Bamboo.

Quick Answer

Which tree should you use?

The material and sap mappings are factual relationships, not a subjective ranking.

Need Wood

Chestnut, Oak or Pine

Need Easy Wood

Cedar

Need Hard Wood

Cypress

Need Bamboo

Bamboo

Need Sweet Sap

Chestnut

Need Sour Sap

Oak

Need Pine Resin

Pine

Need Bamboo Sap

Bamboo

Keep several Cypress trees in your long-term resource plan because Hard Wood has a narrower source relationship. Pine is also worth maintaining when Oil Press fuel is part of your processing route.

Resource Tree Map

Six trees, three output families

Chopping material, Sap Collector output and natural drop are separate relationships.

Chestnut Tree

Wood

Sap: Sweet Sap
Sap cycle: 3 days
Wood value: ¥3
Sap value: ¥15

Natural drop or forage

Chestnut: Year-round.

Oak Tree

Wood

Sap: Sour Sap
Sap cycle: 3 days
Wood value: ¥3
Sap value: ¥15

Natural drop or forage

Acorn: Year-round.

Oak Leaf: Unresolved. Current sources conflict between year-round and Summer.

Pine Tree

Wood

Sap: Pine Resin
Sap cycle: 3 days
Wood value: ¥3
Sap value: ¥15

Natural drop or forage

Pine Cone: Year-round.

Cedar Tree

Easy Wood

Sap: Sticky Sap
Sap cycle: 3 days
Wood value: ¥3
Sap value: ¥15

Natural drop or forage

Cedar Seed: Year-round. Source-language item is treated as the Cedar seed or fruit drop.

Cypress Tree

Hard Wood

Sap: Fragrant Sap
Sap cycle: 3 days
Wood value: ¥3
Sap value: ¥15

Natural drop or forage

Cypress Seed: Year-round. Source-language item is treated as the Cypress seed or fruit drop.

Bamboo

Sap: Bamboo Sap
Sap cycle: 3 days
Wood value: ¥3
Sap value: ¥15

Natural drop or forage

Bamboo Shoot: Spring. Seasonal forage relation; not confirmed as a direct mature-Bamboo drop.

Resource Trees are Chestnut, Oak, Pine, Cedar, Cypress and Bamboo. Fruit Trees such as Apple, Pear and Mango belong to the separate Fruit Trees guide and do not automatically produce these Wood or Sap Collector outputs.

Sap Collector

Attach only to a mature compatible tree

The Sap Collector follows the tree identity, not a generic tree category.

The safe workflow

1. Grow or find a compatible resource tree. Seedlings, stumps and logs are not confirmed targets.
2. Wait until the tree is mature. The mature-state requirement is shared by the Sap Collector authority.
3. Install the collector. Return after 3 days for the tree-specific sap.
4. Plan the output. Quantities per cycle, accumulation and removal behavior remain unverified.

Drops and Replanting

Do not turn every drop into a planting guarantee

Natural tree drops are useful resources, but the current data does not prove a universal seed loop.

Confirmed relations

Pine has Pine Cone, Oak has Acorn and Oak Leaf, and Chestnut has Chestnut. Cedar and Cypress have source-language seed or fruit records.

Bamboo boundary

Bamboo Shoot is a Spring forage record. It is not published here as a direct mature-Bamboo drop or guaranteed planting item.

Open mechanics

Growth days, watering, obstacle clearance, wild respawn, seed probability, removal and relocation are not independently verified. Do not borrow Fruit Tree assumptions.
