Hoarding

Hoarding asks you to stockpile materials inside the Crafting Bench: at least 100 scrap and at least 100 wood, both unused and present at the same time. The detail that matters is that the materials must be sitting in the bench and not yet spent on crafting, so building things along the way works against the goal. It is a patience badge rather than a skill check, because the work is simply gathering and depositing two common resources until both counters pass 100.

Its listed difficulty is 1 star of difficulty, and the payout is a reward of 5 diamonds.

The wiki lists it among the permanent badges of The Forest Wakes Up update (June 13, 2026), where it appears under the name Hoarder. It sits at the easy end of that group, a straightforward collection goal that fits a normal run and does not depend on any event content or limited-time mechanic.
