Prepare the exact material tier
Use Birch Wood and a Small Birch Beam for Wooden, Birch Wood plus Stone Wood for Stone, and Walnut Wood plus Metal Wood for Metal.
Craft one upgrade and equip it
Produce a single axe first, move it into the active tool slot, and return to the tree type that blocked your route.
Test the blocked tree or objective
Use the new axe on the same target. If the objective still does not advance, recheck the mission interaction rather than crafting duplicate axes.
Failure branch
The materials are present but the axe cannot be crafted
Check whether the recipe is still locked, whether the inputs are processed wood rather than trunks, and whether the exact Stone Wood, Metal Wood, Walnut Wood, or Small Birch Beam variant is in the crafting inventory.
Completion signal
The next tree tier can be worked
The upgrade is complete when the crafted axe is equipped and the previously blocked tree or tool objective responds to it.
Start over
Recheck the first missing step
Return to the first condition that is not yet true instead of repeating the final action.
