Palworld 1.0: Finding & farming hardwood – How to get the new resource

Palworld Sakurajima

With the release of the full version, Palworld has received a new resource called hardwood that you need for crafting various objects. In this article, we will show you how and where to find this resource.

Update from August 14, 2026: We have slightly restructured the article.

What kind of resource is this? Hardwood came with version 1.0 of Palworld. It is a higher quality type of wood that you will need for crafting various items throughout the game.

You get hardwood by chopping down certain trees. The resource drops to the ground as usual and can be easily collected. Alternatively, you can build a production facility. We will introduce both methods to you below.

Here you can find hardwood in Palworld 1.0

Where can you find the resource? Hardwood can be farmed in different locations in Palworld. The following three locations are particularly recommended:

  • Sakurajima – the cherry blossom island in the northwest of Palpagos Island
  • Feybreak – the large island in the southwest of Palpagos Island
  • Twilight Dunes – the desert with the Anubis statue

Here we have marked the three locations again on the map:

On Sakurajima, you just need to look for the cherry blossom trees near the Dancing Sakura Shrines, which characterize the Japanese-inspired area and can be recognized by the pink flowers. If you chop down the cherry blossom trees with an axe, you will get hardwood.

On the large Feybreak island, you will find trees with red leaves. These can also drop hardwood if you break them down with an axe.

In the desert of the Twilight Dunes, you must chop down the cactus-like trees with spiky leaves that you can find northeast of the Anubis statue.

Easily buy hardwood

Hardwood can also be purchased from traveling merchants for 100 gold.

How to produce your own hardwood in Palworld 1.0

Once you reach level 43, you can unlock the lumberjack camp 2 under “Ancient Technology,” with which you can set up your own production facility for hardwood in your storage. This is especially the preferred farming method for this important resource in the mid to late game, as your Pals will then take over most of the work.

To build the lumberjack camp, you need 100 × hardwood, 50 × stone, 20 × Paldium fragments, and 5 × ancient components.
