I can’t thank you enough for this dark wood tutorial! Now I can start cleaning up the chest monster (made of small chests) that has taken over our house.

[@amberbouley]

I really wish they would make it so Kristoff would sell Darkwood in the rotation at his stall.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Hard agree! Also, in my opinion, "Foraging" villagers should drop wood too. Not just fruits and herbs. Foraging friends are nearly pointless right now. If they dropped wood, it would make them more feasable!

[@dannie9939]

This is perfect! I never thought to put a lighter colored pathing under the trees! I moved my house into the Forgotten Lands to be able to get to it quicker also.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Ohhh, nice! A Forgotten lands home build would be such a fun thing to make! I hope they eventually give us a darker skin for our house! I want a villain home 😈 (Just for science involving Prince Eric)

[@dannie9939]

@@Probably_Senpai Yes!! I'm all about the darker aesthetic. The cabin home actually semi fits with the forgotten lands because it's such a dark area. It gives it witchy cottage vibes. I'm impatiently waiting for the next Halloween star path items because I unfortunately missed the last one.

[@Febrianne]

Good tip for decorating with trees still for long time players, the trees from the Halloween starpath don’t count as trees for wood spawn so I use those to decorate in my forgotten land so it isn’t super bare!

[@Probably_Senpai]

I like to use the bio illuminescent trees from the Moana collection myself! I love neon lights and colors around the Forgotten Lands biome. They're featured in a few of the spots in this video. Like the halloween tree, they don't drop wood! Only trees from the landscaping menu do! A few large trees from the landscaping category (that don't drop wood) also fit in well! The giant twisted root from the Glade is a great option. I only emptied the biome of native trees as an example. As far as decor goes, there are plenty of great options! This video is mostly geared towards productivity and dark wood, so I don't go into great detail on decor options! Thanks for sharing! Just pointing out, it's imperative to remove the biomes native trees. Luckily, there are 1000s of decor options spice up the biome! 😁

[@VaniaLibe]

Listening to your narration is relaxing and refreshing! Thank you for making all these videos to help us improve our experience with DDV!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you for the kind words Vania! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos!

[@tracysiemer]

Also, incidentally, you can go into furniture mode and move all the dark wood to in front of your house (or you) and start again. FYI. (Can't move flowers to another biome though)

[@Probably_Senpai]

Oh wow! Never tried or done that before! I always just fast travel and pick it up! Super interesting tip! I'll be sure to use it if my inventory is too full! Thanks for sharing!

OMG I died at "What you do in between is up to you - make dinner, do chores, pet your cat or play more Dreamlight Valley" So well done, Senpai! I really love the log in for a minute to gather it, save, and come back in an hour advice. I never would have thought of that so thank you so much!!

[@warzshadow9701]

Your videos are so helpful! I've changed a few of my gatherers to mining. I had them as foraging. I didn't realize how unnecessary that was. Now I'll change my Forgotten lands. I want to make the large chests to place inside my house since they don't have a way to break down the smaller chests yet. I've been frugal.

[@Probably_Senpai]

I really think they should buff foragers! I wouldn't mind having foraging companions if they duplicated wood! They'd be super helpful on darkwood, but currently, they just feel pointless! 😅 I'm glad you find the videos helpful! Cheers!

[@MrDreamlight]

I was literally going to make a shrter version of this same video today. I have the same rate--eight dark wood/hour... but for some reason, if I stay in the biome to mine and such, a couple more will drop shortly after I pick up the original eight. I can get to ten by sticking around for about two minutes.

[@jmware2004]

That’s what did lol but I just use a corner of the forgotten lands and use some other trees. I had to search through a lot to find some that would go on a path lol

[@Probably_Senpai]

Yeah, this set up for wood farms is pretty common! Most of the helpful content in this video is centered around lesser known topics like spawn times and ratios! Encouraging players to be mindful of respawns can be a game changer. It certainly helped me horde a ton of dark wood!

[@aprillavender2543]

So far your idea has been helping me, thanks again. I do have one question, how did you get the crafting materials onto a table inside your house? I like that idea but it's not working for me. I play the game on Switch.

[@Probably_Senpai]

You need to use a particular table size. I use the black dining room table. These tables are 2x8 squares. Sticks, soil, sand, and many other items require 4 entire squares for placement. If you would like a more in depth look at my storage room and how it works, feel free to come by my stream sometime! I go live with Dreamlight Valley every day except Sunday!

[@eileenbeaton5595]

There is one tree in the Forgotten that will be used in a quest, so I wonder what happens if you remove it.

[@lindasmith9072]

Don't forget to go by your pumpkin house.❤

[@Probably_Senpai]

Never once have I had wood appear at my Pumpkin House, so I'm not sure what you mean. All 20 wood drops (the maximum) show up in my wood farm 100% of the time... 750 hours into the game, and wood has never spawned on the house? Can you explain? Also, for clarity, I'm on PC. Maybe there's an issue with wood spawning on whatever platform you play on? What platform are you on?

[@tavari_luhta]

OMG thank you so much!! But does that also mean that people who drop their wood on the ground instead of in a chest don't get new spawns?

[@Probably_Senpai]

That's a great question! If you have at least 20 separate pieces of wood on the ground in a biome, it will prevent new wood from spawning. Now... I'm not 100% sure if that applies to wood of different types/biomes. Meaning, I'm not 100% sure that dropping 20 "softwood" in Forgotten Lands would prevent all dark wood and dry wood from spawning. But if you were to drop 20 separate pieces of dark wood/dry wood, no more wood would spawn. Keep in mind that these would have to be 20 individual pieces, not a stack of 20.

[@ChicagoMel23]

I have about 12 white wood on the ground by my farm so only dark spawns. Unfortunately it won’t up the dark spawn rate

[@Probably_Senpai]

Hey Blue! This is covered in the video! Spawn rate never changes! You will ALWAYS get 12 dry wood and 8 dark wood! 06:33 The secret to getting more wood is understanding how often it spawns and revesting the wood farm at precisely the right time! Collecting your wood restarts the spawning process. But yeah, you're right. Nothing "ups" the spawn rate! All the facts are here in the video! Cheers!

[@rachelkerns86]

The spooky tree decoration from the spooky starpath doesn’t spawn wood and looks great in forgotten lands.

[@Probably_Senpai]

True! I should have mentioned that! SOLID advice! I have a few in my swamp! :D

Thanks for watching Sarah! Cheers!

[@Ag-cl4rn]

Will doing this before obtaining jack effect the quest where you have to find his pumpkin marking on the tree ?

[@Probably_Senpai]

Nope 😁 The tree with the pumpkin marking doesn't appear until you've started Jack's quest. You also won't need to worry about removing that tree. It doesn't drop wood.

[@Simply_Helen]

Can you explain how you reset the wood farm?

[@tracysiemer]

Hey I know this is unrelated... but now what do I do with all the eggs once the items are made and I have stacks and stacks of them??

[@Probably_Senpai]

Haha, I have this same delima! I usually store excess holiday items for the next season! (I had the same issue with halloween candy and xmas wrapping paper) You can either store it or sell it. I'd recommend holding onto it AT LEAST until the end of the event just in case we find another use for the eggs before the event ends! (Not likely, but better safe than sorry!)

[@rhes23]

Hey thanks for this video. I did everything you suggested but I only got 2 pieces of wood (over a 24 hour period) any tips on what I might have done wrong please? 😊

[@Probably_Senpai]

Yeah, if only 2 woods spawned in on your darkwood farm, that means there are still 6 pieces of wood you haven't found or picked up yet somewhere in the biome! If 8 or more darkwood are on the ground in the Forgotten Lands, no more will spawn... Since 2 spawned, that means 6 more exist somewhere within the biome. Keep in mind it's *very* hard to spot sometimes because the wood is black and the grass is a dark purple. If you have the Eternity Isle DLC you can use a level 3 ancient vacuum to pick up the wood you can't find... If not, you'll have to carefully go through the entire biome over and over until you find every last piece. Cheers!

[@rhes23]
