Wood

Wood is a early material attained by 'mining' trees. It can be attained quickly in large quantities even with low-end equipment. It can be used directly as a building block or strengthened by iron yielding Reinforced Wood. Wood can also be used as a cheap alternative to metal in many recipes, yielding lower quality and durability items.

Although early airships are made out of wood, it is a very weak material to build with and can be destroyed easily even with small arms fire. Wood may be very light in comparison to most metals, but even bronze is 4 times stronger than wood and 3 times stronger than reinforced wood. In this light it is advised to upgrade a wooden airship hull to metal on the first opportunity.

Wood is also used to make charcoal, which is made to make steel, and other items.
