chopping down trees is "fine" (not really, but not as bad) when you're alone in the wilderness. Just keep in mind that trees do not grow back by themself, but have to be planted back by players

That's well put. I'd suggest that if you really want to cut trees, go for "thinning" style cutting, rather than clearcutting. You cover more ground, which gets you more forageables.

Or clear cut words into the mini map, for the lolz.

its way easier to pave them....
