Petrified Wood is needed to make the fourth tier of tools and weapons inMy Time at Sandrock,and builders will have to keep this advanced material in good stock for some of the town’s bigger projects.
While this type of wood won’t be available until much later in the game, players should still try to get their hands on Petrified Wood to make their tech progression flow more smoothly. Here’s where to find this resource inMy Time at Sandrock.
My Time at Sandrock: How to Get Petrified Wood
Players can collect Petrified Wood by chopping downLarge Deadwoodfound in theEufaula Desert.This region can only be reached via the Shonash Canyon Bridge west of Sandrock.
Crossing this bridge isn’t as simple as it sounds.Events in the main storylead to its destruction, and naturally, players will have to repair the Shonash Canyon Bridge as part of their duty as a builder. The main quest players need to complete to reach this point is calledIn Trusses We Trust,which comes right after theBelly of the Beastquest. Speak with Heidi to get the bridge repair job going.
Once the bridge is repaired, players will be able to cross over to the other side and start chopping down Large Deadwood. These are incredibly tough, requiring at least an Iron Axe or stronger in order to be damaged. This durability is reflected in their use as parts forChromium toolsand a couple ofChromium weapons,namely the spear and Super Shock Shield.
Petrified Wood must be processed at a Civil Processor, where it can be turned into either boards or sticks. Keep an eye out for commissions at the Commerce Guild, as some Sandrock may request bundles of Petrified Wooden Sticks.
As weird as it sounds, Petrified Wood (including its board and stick forms) will gladly be accepted by a number of Sandrock’s residents when given as gifts. Hugo, Rian, Heidi, Jensen, Mi-an, and Yan are the most receptive of these, and it appears that Qi is the only one who will refuse gifts of Petrified Wood.
It’s important tocome armed and ready for a fightwhen exploring the western regions. Players might encounter Geeglers and other monsters while going on their Petrified Wood runs. While many enemies in the open world can be ignored, there may be times when combat is unavoidable, and it’s best to come prepared when push comes to shove.
