Sinister Wood is a type of wood that was introduced during the 2015 Halloween Update, along with Spook Wood, their appearance becoming an annual occurrence every successive October. It is the most elusive tree in the game; having a 1% chance to spawn in place of a Spook tree.

Similarly to Spook Wood, Sinister Wood is generally sold among players, used for blueprints, or duplicated due to its unique neon material and rarity.

Characteristics[]

Sinister trees use the same growth variables as Spook; growing into twisted, bent and complex trees, but are modified to instead have a granite exterior with a glowing neon interior, along with their greatly increased rarity. It is a common misconception that Sinister trees grow differently to Spook trees, as it is often believed that Sinister trees tended towards thinner branches, though this is not true.

Since Halloween 2020, the bark material of Sinister Trees was changed to granite, once again giving it a visible difference from Spook Wood.

Due to the tree's Neon parts, Sinister Wood is not that heavy, especially when compared to Spook Wood, and so can be carried around with relative ease.

Spawning[]

As Sinister trees are simply a rarer variety, they exhibit the same growth characteristics and requirements as Spook trees.

The tree grows on any material named Ground, Road, Sand, or Slate:

  • Slate: Any rock or cliff in the game, the color does not matter.
  • Ground: Typically grass that trees grow on in their respective biomes.
  • Road: Any road in the game.
  • Sand: Any sand in the game, including the Sand Islands

A major misconception about Sinister hunting is that there are "hot spots" wherein trees are more likely to spawn. Sinister trees are more likely to grow in areas with greater concentrations of spawnable materials, these areas include the Swamp, Mountainside, Taiga, and Tropics.

Harvesting[]

Much like Spook Wood, it recommended to use a Rukiryaxe, Alpha Axe, or Many Axe to cut Sinister trees, as they have the same density as Spook trees.

Spotting a Sinister tree may be difficult from the Main Biome as there are many places across the map where they can grow. This means that any Sinister trees that are currently growing in a server are often out of direct view from a player's base. A common method used to spot Sinister trees is to use a tall tower of ladders to get an extended view of the map. It is also highly recommended to hop between servers to maximize the chances of finding a tree.

History[]

Spook Wood, along with Sinister Wood, typically began to grow when Defaultio announced "It's about to get spooky" on Twitter. However, he did not tweet this in 2017 or any year thereafter, and it is unlikely that he will in the future.

From 2015 to 2018, Sinister Trees glowed a very noticeable gray color, although this was how Roblox rendered neon black at the time. It was very easy to see if a tree was a Sinister rather than a Spook from far away. In 2019, Lumber Tycoon 2 switched to the Shadowmap lighting technology. Because the new lighting had also removed glow from dark neon materials, it caused Sinister trees to lose their gray coloration and made them look similar to Spook Trees. The only way to identify Sinister trees during this time was to check if the bark did not reflect any light from any angle when viewing the tree. Defaultio decided to change the material of the Sinister tree's bark to a black granite texture during October 2020, making it much easier to distinguish between Sinister trees and Spook trees.
