If you're trying to find Hardwood in Palworld you must be over level 40, as that's where the recipes that require this are found. If that's the case, then you've probably already reached the areas needed to find this material, even if you're not immediately locating it. But, with any luck, that also means you've got a fast travel point or two ready to go and just get where you need to go.
If you're having trouble, I can tell you where you need to go on the vast Palpagos map to find hardwood trees, and I've also got the secret to farming them at your base. So read on if you want to start building high quality Palworld structures.
Where to find Palworld Hardwood
There are a few regions of the map in which hardwood can be found in Palworld, and a range of trees you can get it from, but none of the options are near the starting area:
- Twilight Dunes (spiky trees)
- Mount Obsidian (dead trees)
- Sakurajima (Sakura trees)
- Feybreak Island (red, orange, yellow, and white trees)
- Desiccated Desert (dead trees, spiky trees)
- Astral Mountains (white trees)
Not all trees found in the areas I've listed above drop hardwood, which is why I've called out the best ones to look for. It's also worth remembering that a higher quality axe will improve the yield you receive, so use a Refined Metal Axe, or even a Pal Metal Axe if you can, to get more.
How to farm Palworld Hardwood
You can actually farm hardwood in Palworld, thanks to an incredibly useful crafting recipe hidden in the Ancient Technology tree at level 43: the Logging Site 2. If you need or want a lot of hardwood you should unlock this as soon as possible, build at least one in your base and then set some logging Pals to work on it, and you'll soon have chests full of Palworld Hardwood.
