Fell a tree without leaving floating leaves

Breaking the tree correctly

To trigger the Tree Capitator feature and clear leaves automatically, you must break the bottom log of the tree trunk — the log touching the ground or closest to it.

1. Stand at ground level facing the tree

2. Look at the lowest log in the trunk

3. Break it with any tool or your hand

4. All connected logs in the trunk will break instantly

5. Surrounding leaves will decay automatically over the next few moments

Why this matters

If you break a log higher up the trunk instead, only that section and logs above it will fall. The lower portion stays behind. Always start from the bottom to ensure the entire tree drops and leaves clear properly. This works for trees of any height or shape, as long as the logs are connected vertically or horizontally to the one you break first.
