The mod offers three modes for cutting with a chain saw, through which you can cycle with a customizable keybind (default: C):
– “Indication Mode: Off”: Base game behavior
– “Indication Mode: Length”: Cut to exact lengths from 1-12 meters (Cycle lengths with key Z)
– “Indication Mode: Weight”: Cut to pieces which can be carried. This produces pieces less than the given weight limit most of the time.
The weight mode is however just a rough estimate and can deviated by up to 100kg from the target weight, especially for things like oak trees.
The weight mode can scale up to 1000kg to match the possible strength settings of the Lumberjack mod.
The chainsaw will snap to the indicated location once within 20cm. The angle still has to be adjusted manually, however.
Additionally, the following information is displayed the help window:
– The volume of the piece of wood in liters. This is also being displayed before felling.
– The current value, which is the amount of money you would get if you sold the piece of wood in its current form.
– Hints on which kind of factors could reduce the value of the piece of wood like the shape, the length and the number of branches still attached.
– The total quality of the piece of wood as calculated by the game, where 120% is the maximum.
– The amount of liters you would get when processing the piece of wood with a wood chipper.
– The amount of money you would get if you sold the wood chips right now.
– An estimation of money you would get if you sold the wood chips at best price (sometimes you can get more than that, due to randonmness).
Note that in order to get the maximum quality possible, a piece of wood needs to be a near perfect frustum of a cone, between 6-11m in length (about 20-36 feet) and may not have any branches still attached.
A perfect shape is not possible for every piece of wood.
The info box will also be displayed whenever a chainsaw is equipped and the ring around the tree to be cut is possible.
While sitting in a wood harvester, you will see basic information about the tree, but no quality details, since those can only be calculated for the full tree, not for the next piece to be cut unfortunately.
This mod is of course compatible with the lumberjack mod.
