Pine

Pine is a tree species in Timberborn. It is a standard renewable timber resource that was introduced in the Open Alpha and, beginning with Update 1, produces pine resin in addition to its role as a source of Wood. Pines appear as 1×1 footprint trees with a tall vertical model and are commonly used in mid- and late-game construction and production chains that require Wood and pine resin.

Game-file attributes reported from the community indicate that pine trees occupy a 1×1×3 volume in the world grid. Growth and lifecycle parameters from those files list a growth time of about 12.2 days, a planting time of roughly 0.74 hours, and a standard harvest time of about 1.2 hours. Pines have a harvest cycle of 7 days and a base wither time near 13 days (reported range 11.7–14.3 days). The files also report a reproduction (seed/spawn) probability of 0.03. Pines do not require water to survive (minimum and maximum water level both 0), and reported drowning times are approximately 10.8–13.2 days. Display size and rotation vary slightly for visual variety.

Pine has seen small gameplay adjustments since its introduction. It was added in the Open Alpha, modified in Update 1 to produce pine resin, and had a slight increase to harvesting time in Update 7.

• Growth and harvest timings (community-reported): growth ~12.2 days, planting ~0.74 hours, harvest time ~1.2 hours, harvest cycle ~7 days. These values come from analyzed game files and may be adjusted by future updates.
• Physical footprint: reported as 1×1×3 volume in the game grid; visual scale varies within small ranges.
• Products: Wood and pine resin (pine resin added in Update 1).
• Lifespan and risks: reported wither time around 13 days and drowning tolerance reported as a similar multi-day window; pines do not require ambient water.
• History: introduced in Open Alpha; Update 1 added pine resin; Update 7 increased harvesting time.

Trivia and natural-context notes carried by community pages note that pine needles can be boiled into pine needle tea, that some real-world pines can live for thousands of years (one noted example near 5,000 years), and that pines are adapted to high elevation (surviving up to about 4,000 meters). These trivia entries reflect real-world pine characteristics and community lore rather than in-game mechanics.
