DayZ is a survival-based post-apocalyptic PvP game that has gained immense popularity ever since its release. Your ultimate goal in DayZ is simple: to survive. You find yourself on an island infested with zombies and limited resources, and you have to stay alive as long as possible. You can team up with other players, backstab them, or play solo. All of these are viable options for survival in the game.
DayZ, being a survival game, has various bases and other building elements. In order to play this game and stay safe, you need shelter and a place where you can avoid zombies. One of the best ways to do that is to build yourself a base. In order to build them, you will need tools and materials. This article is going to focus on one of those materials: Planks. Keep reading to find out how to get and craft them in the game.
DayZ: How to get & craft Planks?
Planks are some of the most important building tools in DayZ, as they have multiple uses. You can use them to build multiple building structures like walls, floors, or roofs/ceilings. Planks need to be crafted from wood. In order to get planks, you will first need to find a source of wood. You can find wood by cutting down trees to get Wooden Logs or by finding a Lumber Pile. Tools you will need for this are hatchets, handsaws, or hacksaws. Handsaws and Hacksaws can be found in farms and industrial areas in the game. Hatchets can also be found in farms and villages.
So, to get Wooden Logs, you will need to cut down trees. And to do so, you can use axes or hatchets that you can find on farms. Once you use them to cut trees, they will drop wooden logs. These wooden logs can then, with the help of a handsaw or hacksaw, be converted to wooden planks. Each wooden log will give you four planks of wood. You can then use these planks for whatever you want to build with them.
The other way to get Planks is to find a lumber pile. These are groups of wooden logs that can be processed into multiple planks of wood without the use of a hatchet. These are far rarer than trees and wooden logs. You will have to look around sawmills or other industrial areas to find them. Once you find them, you can use the same handsaw or hacksaw to create planks out of them. Each lumber pile will produce multiple planks at the same time. The highest number you can produce is 252 planks from a single lumber pile. These are by far the better sources of wooden planks, and we recommend finding them. If you cannot find them, you should resort to cutting trees and getting wooden logs.
