Twigs

"Picking isn't as fun as chopping."

- Woodie Twigs are one of the first items acquired at the start of a new default game and are needed to craft many tools and other useful items, making them one of the most important crafting materials in Don't Starve.

Twigs should be one of the first items a player gathers at the start of a new game, along with Flint.

Twigs can be collected from Saplings, Spiky Bushes, Cave Banana Trees, Tumbleweeds, Twiggy Trees, and Spiky Trees. In DST, digging up a planted cone/birchnut will yield twigs. Spiky and cave banana Trees can be chopped down using any Axe and will drop one twig. Twiggy trees drop varying amounts of twigs depending on their size, except when dead. Saplings and spiky bushes can be picked for 1 twig and will regrow after 4 days. Twigs can sometimes be found as loot from Skeletons.

Twigs are not edible, but they can be used as filler in many Crock Pot recipes and are required for making Fishsticks, Powdercake, and Kabobs.

In the Reign of Giants DLC, Twigs can now be harvested from Tumbleweeds, making them 100% renewable even if all the Saplings and Spiky Bushes end up burning. It can also be used in several new recipes, like the Battle Spear and Eyebrella.
