You can also use wood to build and repair floors, walls, and ceilings as well as building a small house for yourself or a large one to house all your friends.

Do you prefer to use a bow, an axe, or a shield? You can choose for yourself! Explore the many options to create extra space to hold more items in your inventory and more!
