Pine vs Fir Twigs — Where to Find Pine in Trollheim Gnomes

November 2026 technical playtest — item names and biomes may change before Early Access.

Why do I only find fir twigs, not pine twigs?

Players report the first forests around camp are fir-heavy: you can pick up fir twigs on the ground, but quests and benches ask for pine twigs or scraped pine twigs. A Steam thread from 2026-11-14 matches that pattern: a player asked why they could not find any pine twigs.

Fir twigs near spawn look normal. The two sources below point to biome, not bad luck on a single tree.

Where do pine twigs spawn?

Two independent playtest sources agree:

1. Steam (Chashmodai, 2026-11-14): pine materials sit in their own biome; you will notice when you enter real pine woods.
2. Playtest VOD (Nick The Iron Lyon, YouTube g_07XVCwof0, at about 1h38m): the world has multiple biomes on one map, and the streamer leaves the early area specifically to farm pine twigs in a pine forest.

Practical route: open the world map, walk toward pine-colored forest (see below), and pick up ground twigs there. Playing with others? The co-op multiplayer guide covers known connection and desync issues.

How do you make scraped pine twigs?

Players show the same workstation flow for fir and pine:

Step	What players did
Use a scraper workstation	Both Quiet Emerald (sqsxnDF91_A, at about 50:46) and Nick The Iron Lyon (g_07XVCwof0, at about 1:11:04) use a scraper station
Insert the correct twig type	Fir twig → scraped fir twig (Quiet Emerald); pine twig → scraped pine output (Nick The Iron Lyon)

Read the in-game scraper UI before you batch-craft—do not assume fir substitutes for pine if the recipe names pine.

Early crafting also chains into fiber sources (soft and coarse fiber for benches). If you are new to limits on this build, start with beginner guide and playtest vs Early Access.

What if pine still never appears?

• Double-check you are in pine forest, not dark fir valleys (map + visual change).
• Remember the playtest stops before Birch Trees per dev posts—some materials may be missing on purpose.
• If a pine forest has no twigs at all, report it through the feedback channels on join the playtest with a map screenshot.

How can you verify this yourself?

1. Note your spawn biome (fir twigs on the ground).
2. Open the map, mark a distant pine-tinted region, and walk there.
3. Pick one pine twig, run it through the scraper, and see if the output matches the recipe you need.

Send corrections (with map pin + biome screenshot) through the channels in join the playtest.
