Basic Wood Tea

A small, temporary boost to wood from every tree you cut. Cheap enough for any building day, but unlike ore tea it does nothing for your thirst.

Overview

In-game description
A basic wood tea, temporarily increases the yield from cutting trees a small amount.

Building days eat wood faster than anything else in a wipe. Upgrading twig, a ring of high external walls, a furnace that has to burn all night: all of it comes out of trees. The game text promises a small, temporary increase in yield from cutting them, and that is exactly the kind of day it was made for.

The usual picture: a salvaged axe in hand, a forest a short walk from the base and a long list of walls to place. One cup before the first tree, and the wood piles up a little faster on every trip home. Stay in one patch of forest while it lasts. Walking between forests burns the effect for nothing.

Tip

Unlike the ore and harvesting teas, its description says nothing about hydration. Bring water on a hot map.

Brew it at the Mixing Table from berries. Once the base grows and you farm with a chainsaw, mix several basic cups into an Advanced Wood Tea instead.
