Having a saw should increase wood collection rate

[SekoETC]

I was wondering why all the wood collection tools are axes when I seem to recall they developped a saw in the time of Peter the First to make ships faster... A saw is easier to control than an axe and I'd say more efficient too. Having been cutting branches in real life this summer I was surprised to notice how much easier it's with a saw than cutters, I didn't try an axe but I'd guess it would be more difficult than with a saw, at least conserning thin, swaying branches.

Also if there was some way to implement the saw that needs two people to use it, it's called justeeri in Finnish but I don't know what it is in English, someone could post the correct translation if they know it. I bet it would be more efficient than a one-person saw but I can guess it might be hard to program something that requires just one of the participants to have a tool but requires two people (or an even number if there are several two-person saws available).

I don't really know alot about programing, but I would think programming the 2 man saw would be rather tricky, but the saw Idea is a good one. Another option for people to choose from.

As I type this, another thought comes to mind, maybe not a good one, but a thought non the less, what if the use of the axe produced wood chips..X amount for so many grams of wood (sawdust with the saw) These could also be used in path improvements, as wood chips, or sawdust would prevent the growth of anything on the path...somewhat like a primitive improvement.

Or use them as mulch to improve farming yields?

Saw should be involved in gathering wood. I like the idea!

[Wim van de Griendt]

The wood chips are a good idea, in the RD we also have discussed similar ideas. The problem is that it is not (yet?) possible to set two or more end products for machine tasks.

You could connect the thing so the chips come from the saw.. every time you use it.. but not connected to the project.

[Wim van de Griendt]

Pie,

I don't think that is possible (programming wise), but I am not a member of the programming department.

[Pie]

eh.... it could happen.

Like the dragging project maybe? *shrugs*

Moved this topic to ACCEPTED suggestions. We may not be able to implement it, but RD is discussing this idea already as to how we can implement it, and if not, how we can nag ProgD...

So the thing got enough complicated to be forgotten for 5 years :) Why don't we just use a normal saw that increse wood collection rate, let's say to 500 grams? It's simple to implement and the work is done.

Thank You!

I think you can already collect enough with an axe.

[Piscator]

Actually you can gather even more with an axe, so I guess a rate of 500g/day wouldn't set up the established balance.

What I'm trying to find out right now is why we even have a "saw", considering that it seems to have no use at all and we also have the very similar item "wood saw".

[SekoETC]

We have saw and wood saw separately? Gee, I never noticed... I only remember that you use one to make furniture.

[Arenti]

I think he meant 500 grams extra above the normal 300. So 800 a day.
