Woodsman Axe

Post by ricky »

If you have any love in your hearts, please implement a Woodsman Axe that cuts trees down faster. it could be 2x1, two handed, and simply speed up how fast you cut down a tree. maybe 1/2 base damage of regular metal axe.

Personally I'd rather another tier of axe to strive for. I thought the B12 was a better metal axe, but I was wrong. Improve that. I want a steel axe that I can chop with.

Or add two handed axe for tree chopping.
Two hands would be at least twice as fast as metal axe, right?

It would be a 2-handed axe intended for chopping trees. The stamina drain, similar to the scythe, would decrease with the rise in the quality of the axe. The chop time would also be 75% of the metal axe, seeing as you're using both hands and a better weighted tool.

The cost would be 4 hard metal and 2 boughs. As a caveat, perhaps the metal could also impact the stamina efficiency? Bronze being the least efficient and steel being the most efficient.

Clearcutting your tree farm is just tedious. If anyone ever had a reason to alt, it's tree cutting. It's so stamina intensive and then you get to dig stumps on top of it!

I think jorb's idea of buffing the metal axe's speed is good, but I think there's still room for a woodcutter's axe if it worked as fast as the metal axe, but on top of that also had a bonus reduction to stamina use. Probably a flat bonus rather than scaling but I dunno

edit: or it could just be that the metal axe is, say, 1.4-1.5x as fast, and the woodcutter's axe 2x
