what do you think the best way to clear forests is?

deconstruction bots. They not only raze it down in seconds, they also transport the wood into storage boxes to have it buuuurned

Water only in starting area option on map creation.
Forests removed before even you start to play

Else, poison caps or construction bots if I have a roboport nearby.

Definitely construction bots once you get to them. Before hat though probably poison capsules and/or combat shotgun.

Use Explosive Termites mod.

Reload until you get desert.

Shotguns and you can use them while in a train laying rail all at the same time.

Not since 0.11 came out...

I prefer poison capsules. Grenades are too noisy.

I really wish there was plans for machinery to plant and harvest tree's.

It just seems a bit funny, that we can do all this amazing stuff, but we cant chop down some forrest with automation. That could also extend the technology level, by maybe station a bit earlier so that coal burners and such were important.

To remove it i use the flame thrower.

I was wondering this as well- why not a feller/buncher type machine to cut and stack/store wood?
