A Machine to chop the Trees instead bomb or burn them down

Post by NNW »

Have you ever seen a Timberman who cut trees with a grenade or shoot them down?
No? Nor me.....

It irritates me, that we can drill for ore and oil, but there is no machine to chop trees.
If there is one then we can automate this step and must not use "weapons" to chop trees.
The fun and interest thing in this game is to automate everything, so why not cutting trees?

It's called construction bots.

I believe that are also mods that add chainsaws.

I believe a future version of Xander's Mod is going to have a logging camp that cuts trees down around it on a timer. Maybe once it's complete it could also be made into a standalone mod.

Yeah, Mods are a great thing but you lost the ability to get achievements. I'm a little bit eager and would get all of them...
I know I could do that in a second or third run, but I thought It would be a good feature in the Vanilla Game...

Well in Vanilla you have grenades, the flamethrower, you can run them down with the tank, and construction bots will clear them.

It's not like you need to chop them all down by hand.
