Wooden Board is a crafting material added in the Palworld 1.0 update. It turns raw logs into processed planks that feed into a long list of structures and weapons, so you will want a steady supply once your base starts growing.
Quick answer: Unlock Wooden Board at Technology level 15 for 1 Technology Point, then craft it at a Primitive Workbench (or Production Assembly Line II) using Wood x10, Fiber x5, and Nail x1 per board.
Wooden Board recipe and requirements
Each Wooden Board consumes a fixed set of materials and carries a workload of 10. The Nail in the recipe is the part most players overlook, since it has its own technology and its own crafting cost.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Wood | 10 |
| Fiber | 5 |
| Nail | 1 |
| Workload | 10 |
| Unlock level | Technology level 15 |
| Technology cost | 1 point |
| Crafted at | Primitive Workbench / Production Assembly Line II |
A Nail is a separate material that unlocks at Technology level 10 and requires 1 Ingot each. Keep a small stock of Nails on hand, or your Wooden Board production line will stall the moment they run out.
How to craft Wooden Board
You will know it worked when the finished Wooden Boards appear in the assembly line’s output, and your material counts drop by the amounts listed above.
What Wooden Board is used for
Wooden Board feeds into a wide range of technologies and weapons, which is why it is worth mass-producing. Common structures that need it include the Cooking Pot, Breeding Farm, Mill, Weapon Workbench, Weapon Assembly Line, Sphere Assembly Line, Production Assembly Line, and Mega Glider, among many furniture pieces.
Several weapons also list it as a component, including the Sword, Primitive Sword, Musket, Refined Metal Axe, and Refined Metal Pickaxe. No armor currently requires Wooden Board.
High Quality Wooden Board is a separate material
Do not confuse the standard board with High Quality Wooden Board. That upgraded version is crafted at a Production Assembly Line II from Wood x10, High Quality Cloth x2, and Hardwood x10, and it goes into higher-tier gear like the Katana, Lily’s Spear, Pal Metal Axe, and Pal Metal Pickaxe, plus structures such as the Hyper Glider and Large Fishing Pond.
For everyday base building, the standard Wooden Board is the one you will craft constantly. Set up a dedicated workbench, keep Wood, Fiber, and Nails topped up, and assign a Handiwork Pal so the boards stack up while you focus on exploration.
