What does an Adze do now then?

[TheTheorist]

The wood collection screen doesn't mention it! Do they still work and if so how much can you gather a day?

[The Industriallist]

I didn't think Adzes were wood collection tools. I thought they were used in finishing furniture and such.

When did they affect wood gathering?

[TheTheorist]

I could have sworn it used to say If you have an Adze you can gather X amount, along with 3/4 Axe, Axe and Battle Axe.... Positive!???!



Anyone?

[rklenseth]

I know what an adze is used for but for now I will keep quiet about it. Simply because I don't think we have actually implemented the use yet. I'm not sure that the adze was ever used for wood gathering though.

[The Industriallist]

It's Axe, 3/4 Axe, and Battle axe, and I think it always was...do you remeember how much you could get with it?

[TheTheorist]

I'm sure it was. I can't be goin mad. Someone else must remember it???

I don't think it was much benefit. But it was something.

*Thinks he's goin potty*

Hmmm!

Nope... Your'e not going potty

I remember it too, even heard a conversation ages ago between someone asking what an adze is for, and someone replied that the only thing they knew it could be used for is harvesting wood...

There's no other use, as for making weapons, machines, furniture etc... At least, not so far as one of my character's with his list knows ( )

I could have sworn I say a project requireing an adze a while back, but I don't remember what... I have characters trying to build all kinds of things. From what I remember them being in real life, they look kind of like like a farming hoe, but about half as wide and obviously sharp. You used them to carve and chop long shallow furrows in things like logs for cabins and hollow out canoes. I've seen log cabins and canoes in Cantr, no idea if they need an adze though.

A short while back, when I copied and pasted all available projects, a log cabin required an adze. It also required "timber", not wood.

Thank fook fer that!! In that case...

Could we have the Adze back as a way for gathering wood quicker please?


If not maybe a tool that only requires Iron and not steel?

[watermelonnose]

...and has anyone figured out how to make or get timber. Adzes are used to shape wood so the logs will sit nice and flat against one another.

[TheTheorist]

I have no idea but it's going to need some extra additions.

Eg Lumber that needs to be obtained using axes or saws. Then turned into timber with one of them 2 man operated saws. That would be cool, needs 2 people to start the project?

I prefer the simplicity of wood though!

[The Industriallist]

I assume it was intended to be placed (or maybe was placed and hasn't been found) on a new continent somewhere.

[rklenseth]

Timber hasn't been placed yet. But the adze does have a use other than for timber but you'll have to find that out in game.

I think you have that backwards. The timber would be the trunk of the tree which would have to be chopped down; you would then use the two handed saws to make the lumber.
