Could we mod the game so as to get more wood from lumber?
« on: June 25, 2012, 12:57:21 pm »
I've often thought that the conversion for tree cutting isn't great.  You cut a tree and could make a single barrel out of it, for instance. Is there a way to mod so as to get more than one log per felled tree?

No.

However, Deon's post-apocalypse mod has some trees drop items (or are they just logs of a different name?); you could do that with all the trees and use reactions to make them yield 2-4 logs each.

That would be a fine solution, is it a complex mod to make trees drop items?

Ah, taking another look, scrap DOES happen to be logs by another name; what you'll need to do is take wood--just generic wood--and make a reaction to make 2-4 (whatever you wish) logs of a different type that can't be used in the reaction (by, say, adding REACTION_CLASS:WOOD to the WOOD_TEMPLATE and then making the logs of a different type be wood without that reaction class by copy+pasting the entire wood template into an inorganic file).
