Trees throughout the game world can be cut down to acquire different types of Wood, an essential Material used in [**Crafting**](https://moonfrost.gitbook.io/wiki/~/changes/1/gameplay/crafting). Wood can be picked up simply by walking over it, causing an Item Pick-up Notification to appear on the left-hand side of the HUD.

Certain trees can only be cut down using specific tiers of [Axe](https://moonfrost.gitbook.io/wiki/~/changes/1/crafting/tools#axes).

Over time, trees that have been cut down will re-grow in the same area.
