A Cedar Limb is one of the many stationary interactable objects found in The Long Dark. They respawn randomly in the world over time under trees, making them a renewable material.

Overview

There are two variants of this object: small and large. Both can be turned into Cedar Firewood and Tinder Plugs.

In addition to Cedar Firewood, these limbs will always yield one Tinder Plug when harvested. This, along with cedar being easier to start than Fir Fireword, means that breaking down a Cedar Limb will provide all the resources needed to start a fire.

It's commonly believed that limbs respawn after strong winds or blizzards, but this is untrue. Radial spawns (sticks, branches, coal, stones ect.) simply spawn on a randomized timer, independent of any weather conditions.

Small Limb

Small limbs will provide 3 firewood and 1 and can be cut up using a Hatchet (45 min), Improvised Hatchet (58 min), or Hacksaw (90 min).

Cedar Firewood, Tinder Plug	Time	Calories	Condition of Tool
3 / 1	45 minutes	135	-2% Hatchet
3 / 1	58 minutes	176	-2% Improvised Hatchet
3 / 1	90 minutes	270	-5% Hacksaw

Large Limb

Large limbs cannot be cut up with a Hacksaw, and take 60 min to harvest with a normal Hatchet, or 78 min with an Improvised Hatchet. Large Cedar Limbs are very rare and only appear in set locations:

• Signal Hill in Pleasant Valley
• In The Ravine, in the incropping with Rose Hips turning left right after the bridge exiting from Mystery Lake

Cedar Firewood/Tinder Plug	Time	Calories	Condition of Tool
5/2	60 minutes		-2% Hatchet
5/2	78 minutes	325	-2% Improvised Hatchet

Compared to the Fir Limb, the Cedar Limb provides much less burn time per unit of harvesting time. Both limbs take equally long to harvest (15 minutes per unit of firewood), but the Cedar Firewood burns for only 60 minutes, compared to Fir's 90. The major advantages of Cedar over Fir are that it is easier to light and that it has a higher burn density. Thus, Cedar is superior for travelling, where weight and ease of starting are most important.{{#invoke:Navbox|navbox}}
