Retro Wood painted Chocolate
Basic information[]
The Retro Wood is a cubic building block that looks like a pixelated light brown log. It is part of the Super Retro Bundle recipe pack in the Store.
Unlike most natural Wood blocks, Retro Wood is not flammable, although it can be used in the Forge as Fuel.
How to obtain[]
Retro Wood can be crafted in your Crafting Menu (to be opened by pressing "q" as the default key), but only after the according crafting recipe has been unlocked by buying the Super Retro Bundle from the Store. You can also obtain it by buying a building kit for a Blueprint that contains Retro Brick Wood blocks.
How to unlock the crafting recipe[]
The crafting recipe for Retro Wood can be unlocked by buying the Super Retro Bundle from the Store. There is no other way to obtain the recipe.
How to craft[]
To craft 8 (blocks of) Retro Wood, you'll need:
- 2 blocks of almost any Wood (except Corrupted Wood), e.g. Cragwood or Ashenwood
- 1 Glob of Goo obtained from Creatures or crafted from Mold
- 1 Red Mushroom either found on the surface or grown from Red Mushroom Spores
How to use[]
Retro Wood can be placed into the game world for building purposes by putting (a stack of) them into your quickbar, selecting the according quickslot and clicking the right mouse button while pointing at a spot in the game world with your cursor.
Like all other building blocks, blocks of Retro Wood can be rotated into all directions by pressing and holding R and then pointing the mouse cursor at the block and moving the mouse while holding the left mouse button. The chosen rotation angle can be "locked" too by simply typing "r" while looking at an already rotated object or block; then all items of the same stack in the selected quickslot will automatically be facing the same direction when placed.
Like most other placeable items, Retro Wood can be painted, with the primary color influencing the color of the wood. It does not seem to be affected by the secondary color. They can also be put into displays, where they will be shown at a reduced size.
You won't need any Power Cells (Mining Cell) to pick up blocks of Retro Wood blocks that have been placed into the game world. Of course you won't be able to pick up such objects on game worlds, on player claims or in Adventures where your Permission rank is not sufficient (mainly when you are merely a visitor), which can only be changed by the owner of the game world, claim owner or Adventure creator.
Despite being fireproof, Retro Wood can be used as a Fuel in a Forge. They are just (heat) level 1 Fuel and such burn only very slowly, similar to other Wood. 2 Retro Wood blocks are required for one forging process each.
