Wood is the prime resource in Idle Arks: Build at Sea. You will need a lot of wood to build everything in your ship, ranging from rafts to the rudder. 
Boost fever doubles wood

Your crew obtains wood from palm trees at regular intervals. Certain parts, especially the bigger ones, such as paddles, lounges, torches, hammocks, rudders and sails increase wood from palm trees and floating planks by a certain percentage.  
You can double all wood collection or production for 5 minutes if you activate “Boost Fever”. Tap on the x2 button on the bottom of the screen and then tap the “Watch Ad” button. After watching a 30-second ad, your crew will obtain x2 wood for 5 minutes. You can increase the time to max 30 minutes if you watch 6 videos.
