Collection of Timber...or not?

As RKL said, it makes intuitive sense that it should be nearly impossible to collect timber without a tool.

Frankly, I don't know what timber is

I thought it's regular piece of a wood, but I doesn't make any sense to me gathering it instead of making it from wood, so... I'm confused.

I can fix this, but it seems strange to me that tool boosts gathering 300 times, so I'll wait for RD confirmation if this tool rate is correct.

This tool rate is correct. I should know because I made it.

Timber are big trees that are later made into logs or further into slabs of wood like two by fours.

It's going to be fixed at 07:00 GMT, cause I lost my access to code somehow... but Chris or Jos might do it faster.

The fix has been made - Marol sent his changes and they've been commited. The current cap on timber collection projects has now been raised from 819g to 100000g

I no longer get an error message when I start a project for more then 819, but when the project appears, it is only for 819, no matter the value you set it for (as long as it is in excess of that mark).

That'll teach you to be greedy! :evil:

j/k ... I leave it Grzegorz or Chris to fix that one

I think farming is not the right word for timber.

Yes I noticed that too!

This has been fixed.

Timber now requires tools to be gathered - None can be gathered by hand
You can set up projects if you don't have axes but if you try to work on a Timber project without the correct tool you will make no progress and an error message will be displayed when the project is processed.

The new values for Timber are

"Note that in one day one person can only farm 0 gram. The number of turns will be rounded upwards. The end result will have a random deviation (max 20%) of the amount you ask for.
If you have 3/4 axe, you can farm 2260 grams a day.
If you have axe, you can farm 3000 grams a day.
If you have steel battle axe, you can farm 2200 grams a day."

The maximum amount you can set up is 163838g ( - not the very sticky 819g previously seen)

RD now have the ability to create other resources which require tools to collect .

(the 3/4 axe value is correct - due to rounding issues it has been upgraded from 2250 to 2260)

you can farm 2260 grams a day? I agree, thats really NOT the right word, maybe gather, or even chop?

Well, the project I started as 3000g with two repeats got shifted to 819g. I did two hours of work on it, bringing it to 90% done. However, there was the change to deal with the maximum gathering amount. Suddenly my project jumped to 163838g at 90% done. Now, I don't mind that so much, but it is a bug and I consider it unfair to take advantage of. I have started a new project to work on, so could that project could be deleted, and about 1000g of timber placed in the initiater of the project (about how much work was done)? I believe the location is called Blojt Forest (east), but I could be mistaken. I am sure you won't have any problem finding such a huge timber project with such a large percentage done.

Oh?

RD added a resource to an old location...

That's something new (actually not. beeswax/etc were added as well)

The Actual project will only produce 819g +/- 20% per repeat . It's a
mistake in calculations - I'll update all the exiting timber projects so the estimated output is c. the actual output

EDIT all timber projects should be reporting a sensible output value (it may not be the exact figure entered but it's close)
