Woodcutting Skill

What's happening here is not contained...
These... things, keep coming endlessly.

What, zombies?

No, I'm talking about TREES !

This mod adds a Woodcutting skill that makes chopping trees and removing bushes easier and more efficient.
At level 0, nothing changes from vanilla. The skill is all upsides.

(only when chopping trees, obviously)

• Less endurance used (-7 % per level)
  
• Less calories used ( -12% calories modifier every 3 levels)
  
• Less chance to lose axe condition (+1 every level)
  
• A flat axe tree damage increase (+2 per level) (good for bad axes like the stone axe. Barely noticeable on good axes like the wood axe.)
  
• A rare chance of extra items dropping from medium and large trees
  
• Makes removing bushes faster and easier (-7% endurance used/level and +10% action speed/level when removing bushes)
  
• If you reach Woodcutting level 8, you can no longer get "Excessive Exertion" from chopping trees. You will still get "High Exertion" but it can't worsen to "Excessive Exertion" from chopping trees.

The chance of extra items is pretty small, even at high levels they are rare.

• Logs
  
• Tree Branches
  
• Twigs
  
• Pinecones (for pine trees only)
  
• Tree fruits & acorns (rare) (for trees that aren't pine trees, if the [Woodcutting + Foraging] level is high enough (8), AND if it's not winter)
  
• Dead squirrels (extremely rare)(if the [Woodcutting + Foraging] level is high enough (8))

Note : Nature Abundance buffs/nerfs the chances of extra items accordingly. (-20%, -10%, +10%, +20%)
Small trees (size 1 or size 2) never give extra items.

...the more xp they give. And the higher the chances of extra items. And when you get extra items, you also get some Woodcutting xp. So yeah, go chop them big trees.

This mod adds a Woodcutter trait that gives +1 Woodcutting for 2 points.
Other than that, the following are buffed :

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

There are no sandbox settings for this mod. If many people complain about it I will add some.
But for now, there is a file (media/lua/shared/WoodcuttingSkillDefinitions.lua) that you can easily edit to tweak some things.

This has been tested on a local multiplayer server, and it's working. All the code is client side anyway.

---

If you use the mod "Kill Count", you have accesss to a Tree kill count and a Bush kill count. (see 3rd image)

---

If you really need them, someone made a mod that adds Woodcutting Skill Books. But be aware that I have balanced this mod to work without skill books.

---

This mod overrides the "Chop Tree" action and the "Remove Bush" action.

Fully compatible with "10 Years Later", even though it changes some stuff with the Remove Bush action. Props to Dane.

Fully compatible with "Axe overhaul".

Not compatible with "Chop Tree Bug Fix". (I don't consider that a bug, the math definitely seems like it's intended by the devs. That being said, the Woodcutting skill is taken into account to reduce the chance of losing axe condition, and I have slightly decreased the chance to lose axe condition even at level 0 anyway.)

If you're using the mod "Kill Count", you'll get some extra stats (tree kill count and bush kill count) (see 3rd image)
