<STRONG>why bother with smelter reasctions, when enormous underground tree farming holds way more prestige.

just get 10 z-levels of 100x100 tiles with mudded and stone-cleared underground halls, then you get more trees than a 6x6 heavily forested region!

although it would take 200 haulers 10 years to haul all that stone ^^</STRONG>

You need an underground river to get tower-caps.

Otherwise, I would gladly do that.

I tried it out. It was tedious to make all the reactions and new tree types, and of course the civs never used the "finished [wood] logs", because they where not in any biomes. I found no bugs, so I added it to my human town mod. I made it so humans get 8 logs per tree: enough so that only 7 trees would build and furnish a villager hut. Normally it would take 53. I might mess with the numbers a little, but it seems realistic. What you do is take a [tree], cut it down for a [tree]log, then mill the log at the smelter (naturally), giving you 8 finished [tree]logs. You cannot mill a finished log.

I implemented it in a human town mod. If anybody is interested, I'll put up the files.

Nice idea.
Though 7 seems too small. I vote for 20-40 because I've built village houses on my own and it takes a lot of tree trunks not logs to make a decent huse frame.
The idea is nice still.

How do you increase the amount of logs that a tree turns into?

Uhh.... that's basically the point of this thread. You only get one log per tree, ever. This makes it so that you can turn that one log into several.

RE: Deon:
Yeah, it actually does seem a little excessive in practice. so, each raw log should give 3 Finished logs?

[Slappy Moose]

Sorry, I thought you had said you modded something so that humans could get many logs per tree. I was wondering how.
My mistake.

I thought of 3 logs per tree, it seems nice.
