* There is no specific need to replace wooden furniture, as furniture is usually safe from attack. Like with doors, furniture in an otherwise nonflammable room is usually safe from fire. Other materials might be selected for their improved availability, durability against [[drop pod]]s or [[infestation]]s, and beauty as the colony progresses.

Colonies in extreme and wood-scarce [[biome]]s, like the [[ice sheet]] or [[extreme desert]], should conserve wood as much as possible. It should be used for [[campfire]] or [[passive cooler]]s until you can 1. create electric [[heater]]s / [[cooler]]s, or 2. get the necessary [[clothing]] to survive. For construction, [[ruin]]s can be deconstructed for stone/steel, and steel should be used for furniture instead.

Should your colony be visited by an [[alphabeaver]] infestation, watch out! These ravenous genetically-engineered critters will eat every tree on the map if you don't stop them by force! They will not eat wood on the ground or wooden buildings, however.

=== As a weapon ===
 
Wood is the one of worst melee weapons in the game, barely beating out a bottle of [[beer]] and a plain, unarmed punch. Even a good-[[quality]] [[eltex staff]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, which is more of a psycasting tool than a weapon, has higher damage and AP. In most cases, players should at least craft a [[club]], rather than using a log as a weapon. Even swinging a gun or bow as a melee weapon will do only slightly less damage, while still allowing you to shoot as enemies approach.
 
 
However, any weapon is superior to no weapon. If you have no other weapons available, and do not have the supplies or time to spare to create even a club, then equipping a log is better than having a colonist fight entirely unarmed.
