Carve Wood Wiki Carve Wood Biome Comparison
Every documented biome ranked by cash-per-hour, unlock cost, and the optimal moment to push.
Carve Wood on Roblox has three documented biomes at launch, and a fourth (the Ancient Forest) has been datamined but not yet shipped. Each biome gates a different tree-rarity ladder and a different cash ceiling, and the order in which you push them changes the rebuild path after every rebirth. This page compares every biome side-by-side, ranks them by cash-per-hour, and walks through the optimal moment to push from one to the next.
The biome roster
Carve Wood ships with three biomes at launch. Each is a distinct lumber yard with its own tree rarity ladder:
- Biome 1 — Starter Grove. The default yard. Common trees (Twig, Oak), one customer stall, one carving bench, the apprentice worker slot. This is the biome every new save starts in.
- Biome 2 — Pinewood. Unlocks Rare-tier trees (Pine, Maple), the Journeyman worker slot, and the first rebirth milestone. Roughly 4,000 cash to unlock.
- Biome 3 — Cedar Glade. Unlocks Epic-tier trees (Birchblade, Cedar), the Master worker slot, and the second rebirth milestone. Roughly 18,000 cash to unlock.
- Biome 4 — Ancient Forest (datamined). Rumoured to unlock a sixth tree rarity (Mythic, 4x yield) and a new customer rotation. Not yet shipped as of the most recent verified patch.
Cash-per-hour by biome
The cash-per-hour contribution of each biome, assuming a mid-game player with one rebirth, the Tier-3 axe, and the Apprentice + Journeyman workers online:
| Biome | Avg cash/hour | Tree-rarity cap | Best customer round |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biome 1 — Starter Grove | ~600 | Common | Bronze 2x |
| Biome 2 — Pinewood | ~1,400 | Rare | Silver 3x |
| Biome 3 — Cedar Glade | ~2,800 | Epic | Gold 5x |
| Biome 4 — Ancient Forest | ~5,500 (projected) | Mythic | Mythic 10x |
The cash-per-hour roughly doubles with each biome push, which is why the How to unlock biomes page recommends pushing in order rather than grinding a single biome.
Unlock cost vs break-even
The break-even math for each biome push:
- Biome 1 → 2: Costs roughly 4,000 cash. Pays back in about 4 hours of active play at the biome-1 cash-per-hour, or roughly 2 hours if you push quickly.
- Biome 2 → 3: Costs roughly 18,000 cash. Pays back in about 12 hours at biome-2 cash-per-hour, or roughly 6 hours if you push quickly.
- Biome 3 → 4: Projected at 60,000+ cash. Pays back in roughly 12 to 20 hours depending on the actual cash-per-hour after the Mythic tree unlocks.
Each push gets more expensive, but each push roughly doubles the cash-per-hour, so the cash-per-hour-per-dollar-spent on the unlock roughly tracks constant. The Upgrade cost calculator projects the cumulative spend if you want to plan a multi-push session.
Best time to push each biome
The optimal moment to push from one biome to the next is when the cash you have banked exceeds the unlock cost by at least 50% — the 50% buffer protects you from the cash-flow dip during the unlock animation.
- Push to Biome 2 at roughly 6,000 cash banked. The 4,000 cost is recouped within the first hour on the new biome.
- Push to Biome 3 at roughly 27,000 cash banked. The 18,000 cost is recouped within the first 2 hours on the new biome.
- Push to Biome 4 at roughly 90,000+ cash banked (when it ships). The 60,000+ cost needs a larger buffer because the Mythic-tier unlock is rare.
The Rebirth calculator factors the biome push into the post-rebirth rebuild plan. A rebirth right after a biome push is the right call only if you have the cash to rebuild on the new biome; otherwise the rebuild stalls at the previous biome.
When the biome list shifts
The biome roster moves with every patch. The Update log page tracks every change, and the First-month roadmap page tracks the datamined and confirmed next biomes. Bookmark both for the morning after every patch.
