11 Hardwood is where Windrose starts treating timber like a mid-game material instead of a starter convenience. The current live item page says it is harvested in the Foothills from Divi-divi trees and used for weapons, ship materials, and a long list of better station upgrades.

1010 This is why Hardwood feels different from Wood even before you look at the exact recipes. Wood keeps the camp alive. Hardwood pushes the camp upward.

1212 Each Divi-divi Tree yields only about one to two Hardwood when felled, and it drops Tree Bark alongside the wood, so a harvesting run quietly fills two material columns at once. The trees are larger than ordinary timber and cluster toward the higher inland ground of Foothills islands rather than the coast, so plan a short overland walk from your landing point. Hardwood weighs 0.5 each and stacks to 30, light enough to carry a full load home in a single trip.

1616 It shows up in upgrade pieces rather than only in starter stations.It feeds both comfort-side infrastructure and combat-side equipment, so it is easy to overspend.It is one of the clearer signs that the Foothills are a real mid-game biome rather than just another starter island with different rocks.

1818 Merchant Contract Note
1919  
2020 The raw Hardwood item page and the Merchant Contract system should be kept separate. The raw item page says ordinary vendors do not trade the base Hardwood item, while the current Merchant: Natural Resources station lists Hardwood as one of its advanced contract-station goods after local threats are cleared.
