Grinding LP?

You will get much more from the Wicker Baskets.

Not really. With the 300% of LA i getting 104 from buckets and only 60 from Wicker Baskets.

But you can make more wicker breadbaskets out of a tree than you can make buckets. One log is 4 buckets or 12 baskets.

6 baskets. you need 10 branches, which is 2 blocks

at the moment i get about 1500 lp from cutting down a tree, but it takes me a lot longer, by making everything into blocks and double-lighting fires. Theres probably an easier thing, but just remember that even if you get 150 lp from one bucket, if you get 60 lp from one block, you're still ahead, because one log gives 4 boards and 12 blocks. This doesnt work the same if you have a metal saw ofcourse.

Time vs LP wise, buckets are still pretty much the best. Just keep in mind there already are some people with rage and some even murder. They might object to you clear cutting all the trees in a settled area to make buckets. Later on you might want to go hunting. With a decent sling and some MM you can kill plenty of auroch and mouflon, that give nice lp, plenty of food and intestines which can be used to fish, which doesnt give that much lp, but is nice for a change (dont forget to butcher the fish for lp, even if you dont want to eat it). Later on you can hunt boar or bear, who tend to run away rather quickly if you sling them from a boat. Chase and punch for max effect (appearantly, you get lots of extra damage punching someone, or something, in the back)

Why would someone be against someone who is grinding LP's?

wicker breadbaskets

ah sorry, i saw baskets :p

blame my speed reading

only arguement left is that its simply faster to make buckets. Grinding isnt just getting the most lp out of the materials, also the most per hour

I wonder if people have been getting this advice wrong. I have seen HUGE swathes of actual wicker basket containers, not breadbaskets, covering whole fields of deforestation. Whoever is doing that (assuming they're trying to grind LP) is a complete idiot, lol.

But yes, I used to make buckets until I discovered the wonders of mass breadbasket production. Each log = 12 blocks, and the stump is another 4 blocks. That's 16xLP versus the typical 4xLP from bucket-making. Fast, efficient, and spends far less trees in the long run.

(Some people posted while I was typing, proving my first paragraph correct... xD)

yup, that was me to my shame, i should say that when i was grinding for fast lp to start normal play, i was making breadbaskets too, so i should've known

I can agree with that, but only if you don't care how many trees you cut and if you have a decent saw. Making breadbaskets is way better for total beginners who can't hunt down a bear yet for high Q bones.

they're not against grinding, just against someone cutting away all the trees they still need to build stuff later on, like palisades, extra houses, expanding the palisade, etc. After all, people dont like to walk too far to find their building resources. Luckily for anyone they can only do something about it if they catch you in the act

completely agree with you. In the beginning making buckets is a big waste, and later on you should be doing something useful (in my opinion)

3 x 12 block = 36 x 5 branches = 18 Wicker Basket x 50 LP = 900 LP
3 x 12 block = 36 x 5 branches = 36 Wicker Breadbasket x 19 LP = 684 LP
I'm not sure but I think that this was checked for about 120% LP bonus
