Tree felling.

Hello, in the early versions of the game was the ability to cut trees, you can not how to return this function?  .  So it would be more firewood.  and you need a woodpile.  In the house of the hunter it is, but it does not function.

That was never an option. You had the option to forage for wood in the same way you do now. But it was with a loading screen rather than being interactive.

Just like @Fuarian said, there was never an option like the one you are describing. Forage for wood was an option you opened up in a menu, and it just "speeded up time", similar to way fishing works, and in the end, you got a piece of wood, depending on what type of wood you wanted to get. It was an easily abusable mechanic, as you could simply go out to the ruined building by Trappers, strip naked, and forage for wood to conserve your clothes for hours of a day due to no wind.

And no, I don't want to see tree felling in the game. Because if that happened, more people will demand structure building, and that is not what TLD should be about. On top of that, gathering firewood is simple enough now - there is no way to make it easier now.

Well, I just would like to have the sound of tree falling far away. A sudden crackle in the distance, breaking the silence. Maybe seeing it fall. Nothing else.

I'm sure they have or had tree sounds cracking falling before, then come to think of it I have not heard any for a while! maybe something broke or they removed that sounds effect! need to hear for them next time I play.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?  (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

[StrayCat]

Well, according to M. Schrödinger and quantum decoherence, the question would be "do trees fall when there is no one to see" ?

You would need to let the freshly cut wood to dry first. And also you would need a saw. But there already are big pieces of fallen trees on the map that could be harvested by a saw and hatchet. Currently they offer no action to player. That would give more firewood.

This could be accomplished with the current mechanics of curing Maple & Birch saplings, although it would take significantly longer...
