How to get hardwood in Palworld
Palworld’s Version 1.0 update introduced hardwood as a new crafting material, expanding the game’s resource progression system. The material is essential for creating High Quality Wooden Boards and appears in recipes starting around character level 40-50, representing a mid-game tier that follows basic wooden planks.
Players can farm hardwood from multiple locations across the game world, with Twilight Dunes and Sakurajima identified as key farming spots. According to PC Gamer, these resource nodes are easy to overlook during typical gameplay progression, despite their importance for advancing through the mid-game technology tree.
This new resource represents part of the broader content expansion in Palworld’s 1.0 release, which introduced new Pals, weapons, and game zones. The addition of new crafting materials and their recipes adds depth to the game’s progression systems, requiring players to explore and identify farming locations as they unlock higher-level technology nodes.
