Woodcutting Skill - Overhaul

“The Apocalypse has come… and TREES are the real threat.”

This is an overhaul of the original mod “Woodcutting Skill” by Champy.
Original mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944004910
All credit for the original idea and baseline implementation goes to Champy. This version rewrites and extends several systems (damage scaling, XP, extra loot, and full Sandbox configuration), with server-authoritative logic for MP.

Build 42 Version here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3559783131

---

Adds a dedicated Woodcutting skill that makes chopping trees and removing bushes easier and more rewarding.

Vanilla-style benefits (kept/improved):

• Less endurance used (−7% per level)
  
• Less calories used (−12% modifier every 3 levels)
  
• Lower chance to lose axe condition (when chopping trees)
  
• Flat axe tree damage bonus (+2 per level)
  
• Chance of extra items on medium/large trees
  
• Removing bushes: −7% endurance per level and +10% action speed per level
  
• At Woodcutting 8, chopping won’t escalate to “Excessive Exertion” (still “High Exertion”)

Extra items (rare at low levels):

• Logs, Tree Branches, Twigs
  
• Pinecones (pine-like trees)
  
• Tree fruits & acorns (if [Woodcutting + Foraging] ≥ 8 and it’s not winter)
  
• Dead squirrels (very rare; skill-gated)

Nature Abundance affects those chances (−20%, −10%, +10%, +20%).
Small trees (size 1–2) never grant extras.

---

• Damage per Level (scaling) + One-Hit Threshold: tree damage now scales with your Woodcutting level. By default, at level 6 you reach a configurable 1-hit threshold.
  
• Full Sandbox Page (SP & MP): tweak everything in Custom Sandbox or via Admin Panel (MP). No file editing needed.
  
• XP Multiplier (Sandbox): globally increase/decrease Woodcutting XP gained per hit.
  
• Extra Looting logic reworked: chances scale with (Woodcutting + Foraging) and respect Nature Abundance. Loot is granted reliably (server-side) to the player’s inventory.
  
• Server-authoritative logic: damage scaling and extras run on the server for consistent multiplayer behavior.
  
• Translations scaffold: English + PT-BR keys included (feel free to contribute more).

---

This overhaul adds a full Sandbox page: Woodcutting. You can configure:

• Base Damage Multiplier — multiplier at level 0, before per-level scaling.
  
• Damage per Level (+%) — e.g., 0.15 = +15%/level.
  
• Max Damage Multiplier (cap) — upper limit for total scaling.
  
• One-Hit Level Threshold — at/above this level, trees fall in 1 hit. (Set to 99 to disable.)
  
• One-Hit TreeDamage value — TreeDamage used once threshold is reached.
  
• Affect only Axes — limit scaling to axes only.
  
• XP Multiplier — global Woodcutting XP multiplier on tree hits.
  
• Extra Loot (1 in N) — Log, Branch, Twigs, Pinecone, Pine Extra, Winter, Fruit Tree.
  
• Min (Foraging + Woodcutting) for Fruit — minimum combined levels for fruit extras.

Single-player (new world): New Game → Custom Sandbox → Woodcutting.
Single-player (existing world): host as MP and use Admin Panel, or edit the save’s SandboxVars.lua.
Multiplayer (host): ESC → Admin Panel → Sandbox Options → Woodcutting → Apply (restart recommended).
Dedicated server: edit `<ServerName>_SandboxVars.lua` (sample block in the mod page images).

---

Adds a Woodcutter trait (+1 Woodcutting for 2 points).
Also buffs:

• Lumberjack occupation: +3 Woodcutting
  
• Park Ranger occupation: +2 Woodcutting
  
• Farmer occupation: +1 Woodcutting
  
• Gardener trait: +1 Woodcutting

---

There are currently no skill books for Woodcutting.

---

This mod overrides the Chop Tree and Remove Bush timed actions.
If another mod touches the same actions, put this one after in load order.
Known to work with most setups; server-authoritative logic helps MP consistency.
