Thatch is an easily obtainable resource harvested from trees, either by punching them or by using tools.

Thatch is used for crafting many items, especially in the early-game. It can also be used as fuel source for a fire, and is needed to create  Fertilizer in a  Compost Bin. It can be found in white, green and blue supply drops.

When harvesting Thatch,  Picks are more efficient than  Hatchets. Many dinosaurs can also harvest it by attacking trees, with the Brontosaurus, Gacha, and Mantis being the most efficient.

Burn Times

Thatch can be used as fire fuel, however, it provides the shortest amount of burn time.
