Benches make managing animal pens much easier. They can function as a gate hearthlings can pass through but not animals. You just sit on them then stand up on whichever side you prefer.

good idea would be to add a gate next to said bench in case the fuckers completely block the bench

The entire fence should be benches to be honest

I've seen a lot of talk about how to efficiently remove/destroy logs en masse...

One way is to start the process to make one into a dugout- but don't burn it. Just do the destroy command. You can break a log cut into a dugout without it being a fully functional dugout.

The fastest way to destroy a log, is to lift it and bring it on a tile of water and then log out for 3 seconds.

Spawn an alt in another window and click it from time to time, you should be done after a while.
Or make a small script that chops all visible logs. It's not rocket science and this game is already botted to kingdom come and back anyways, so one more dosn't change anything.

I discovered that garden pots are functional during winter! I have planted/grown/harvested blueberries, uncommon snapdragons and clover in the snow! If it's a glitch, I sure hope it keeps going

Tag: Storage solution. Early mid game space management. Advanced sprucecaping.

When you finally get a horse tamed and saddlebags made for it you can store, and access while moving without its interface disappearing, two wicker pickers in it. Unfortunately they will not automatically fill with forge items when your inventory is full but are still quite convenient with scroll-wheel depositing. Makes hunting and foraging at the same time a lot easier. Great for storing extra yarrow as well.

What you pave under your buildings will still show up on the minimap. For instance, here's a little smiley face under a great hall.
