Automating Tree Harvesting with the Mechanical Saw

Setting Up the Mechanical Saw

The Mechanical Saw allows you to fell an entire tree in a single operation rather than harvesting logs one block at a time.

1. Locate a tree, such as a birch tree, to set up your lumber station.

2. Place the Mechanical Saw directly at the base of the trunk with the cutting face aligned against the bottom wood log.

3. Connect a rotational power source to the input shaft of the saw using your mechanical network or cogwheels.

Adjusting Orientation with the Wrench

If the saw blade faces the wrong direction, do not break the block:

1. Equip the Wrench tool in your main hand.

2. Right-click the Mechanical Saw with the Wrench to rotate and adjust its orientation until the cutting edge touches the wood.

3. Engage kinetic rotation. Once powered, the saw cuts through the base log and automatically chops down the entire tree above it at once.
