@Alyfox - When I implemented the change to the Owl_WoodLog , the reason I didn't also change to the weight of lumber, is because lumber is the vanilla woodLog re-lablled.

IIRC, at the time I figured changing the mass value could impact poorly on mods that may rely on the vanilla mass for some reason or other, and wanted to avoid introducing unnecessary issues that make break those other mods.

Suggestion to make up for the weight discrepancy between 1 timber and 3 lumber, if I may - set the lumber at 0.3, with the 0.1 remainder just being gone due to being reduced to sawdust? Or add in a sawdust item that weighs 0.1 if feeling ambitious :)

@Monkey Magic thank you very much. It worked tho

@matriach16_ceris - It should be fine, yeah. This version uses the same ID, so you'll need to unsub from Owlchemists version before adding this one, but it makes for a smoother transition this way.

Remember to always be sure to back up your save file before adding/removing any mods though. (youy can do this by navigating to the saves folder (Users/YOURNAME/AppData/LocalLow/LudeonStudios/Rimworld by Ludeon Studios/Saves) and zipping up your save file

Is it safe to replace owlchemist's version to yours in midgame?

@Monkey Magic thank you for the reply! Makes sense!

@sebo2203 - yeah, you can build some stuff out of logs or green lumber, but the materials aren't as good as lumber in different ways - for example logs are super expensive, since you can get a lot of firewood, or green lumber from a wood log. Green lumber has weak HP and is generally an inferior material to lumber

Was it intentional that I can build a lot of furniture out of ... logs.. and green lumber?
Or is some other mod adding that feature and I am reducing the intended difficulty of my game-play? Would somebody enlighten me?

@Emillie Sackenball - there is already a bunch of patches in that provide for this. If you are using a mod that does not, lemme know what it is and I can at least take a look at it. I recently patched the Firewood Rack in Deep Storage Plus to only store actual firewood, for example. Previously it would only store lumber :P

it's possible to make the lumber is recognized as a the vanilla "log" for some mods like storage and other general recipes?

I've never used that mod. I don't use any mod that requires the Vanilla Framework Extended . What exactly are you asking for here? Please explain why you believe it's not compatible (I have no intention of installing VFE, ever but I can look into Alpha Biomes if you tell me what the issues are, and what the expected results should be

Hey there, since you're actively changing this would you perhaps add compatibility with Alpha Biomes? It adds additional types of wood that aren't compatible with this.
