[ARY] Automatic Stump Chopping [1.5]

Description
Arylice's Automatic Stump Chopping
#arylice   #aryasc

Have you ever watched your lumberjacks chop down trees,
only for them to leave those annoying stumps behind,
and felt that urge to have everything perfectly tidy?
You wish they’d just finish the job completely?
This mod will solve this issue in an automatic way!


Safe to add, remove and change its custom settings mid-save!
You get the following options that you can enable or disable
anytime in-game:
  • Automatically Designate The Stump For Chopping
    After cutting down an almost fully grown tall tree,
    your worker will instantly designate the spawned stump
    for chopping, which usually makes them chop down the stump
    right away as it would be the closest next job to do!

  • Automatically Designate Blighted Plants For Cutting
    Whenever your crops become blighted in the future,
    the blighted plants will instantly designate themselves
    to be cut down. This means even if the blight spreads
    to other plants nearby, it will spawn with a cutting job
    on itself automatically!

  • Chopped Tall Trees Have Falling Visual Effect
    For most tall trees almost fully grown, when they are chopped,
    there will be a little visual effect of a falling tree
    (almost like in Stardew Valley, but not really)!
    This feature is not perfect, but it can be nice to look at!
    Young and small trees will not have that small visual effect.

You also get Order buttons to chop and harvest more precisely:
  • Chop only stumps
    (Stumps of special DLC trees included).
  • Chop only fully grown trees with a 100% growth
    (Special DLC trees will not be marked).
  • Harvest only fully grown crops with a 100% growth.

This mod requires Harmony!
DLC are not required, but works well with them nonetheless!

@Control its also because if you select a tree you get the "chop" option and never the "cut plant" option. tbh I never knew cut plants on a tree would get rid of the stump in vanilla.

I went to use a minigun with combat extended and the weapon started to destroy all the trees in its path, and with the tree falling animations, it was a spectacle. Very good mod

@Control Does the Cut Plant tool give you the same amount of wood as the chop tree option?

If you are clicking and dragging it over a whole area then ya that makes sense

Probably because if you use cut plants then you will cut a lot of other things besides just trees. If you’re specifically wanting to just chop trees for when then it makes sense to use the chop wood order.

@hog_jockey I'm unsure why the stumps are in the game. As for cutting the stumps I'm saying you can use the Cut Plant tool to take down trees and your pawns will cut the stump automatically. The only way they don't cut the stump is if you use the Chop Wood tool, which is what it sounds like people are doing and I am wondering why.

@Control why use it twice (once for the tree, once for the stump) when you could just use the chop wood tool once?

Can you explain how the addition of stumps adds anything worthwhile to the game?
Control 28 Nov, 2024 @ 8:47pm 
well, that's why i'm asking. why wouldn't you instead of using the chop wood tool?

That's the neat part, you don't.

Can someone explain to me why this mod is necessary? Can't you just use the cut plant tool?
