The Wooden Pole is a basic machine block.

Settings[]

This block has no adjustable settings.

Usage[]

It is one of the basic structural blocks; other parts can be attached to it from any side, making it especially useful for building the basic frame of a machine.

It is both visually and physically narrower than most other blocks, structural or not; this is useful for moving parts, cosmetics, etc.
However, it is not any lighter. It is the same weight as the Wooden Block.

This block can be shortened - if placed where half of it will not fit, it will place a shorter version of itself.

It is quite fragile; when

  • bashed or shot by NPCs
  • pressed or pulled too hard
  • or set ablaze

it will visually break in half (or simply detach if skinned). In practice, only the primary (red) joint breaks; it will remain attached if connected via the secondary (orange) joint, and any non-flammable blocks will also remain connected to it.

It is also possible to reinforce it with Braces and protect it (somewhat) with Armour. If durability is the main priority, though, then a structure of non-flammable blocks like Ballasts should be used instead of wood.

Trivia[]

Until v1.05, the Wooden Block and Wooden Pole were tied for the weakest joints in the game, with a break force of 5500. Build Surfaces have since been added, which have a minimum joint break force of only 500.
