Added Making Planks and Shafts - need shaft weights
* Trees are big, it will take more than one go to chop them down. You can right click to examine them to see how much damage you have done to the tree each attempt, when the damage reaches 100 the tree falls and you can now start chopping it into pieces.
* When you attempt an item at a low skill level you will often fail and have to start again. If you fail producing an item made of wood you may mangle it so badly you end up with an unusable piece of wood known as a woodscrap. Woodscraps are not completely useless, they can be used to create kindling, and can also be used to fuel a fire without wasting precious logs.They can be combined to increase their weight so that you don't have to feed them in one at a time
* Sometimes when you fail you will make an 'Unfinished item', a damaged item that is repairable with the right tools. If you have the tools necessary to complete the item, or the time and resources to create them you can use those items to complete the unfinished item, if you can't or won't then your best bet is just to try over again. Completing unfinished items is not a waste of time though, items finally produced this way are generally of higher quality than items produced immediately.
== Woodcutting ==
## If you had a sickle now is a good time to plant the sprout you got earlier, preferably on the same square you took it from. The logs and the felled tree won't get in the way of planting it. Double click the sprout to select it, right click the place you wish to grow it, then choose the 'Plant' option. If you fail the sprout will be ruined, but the logs and/or felled tree will mark your spot if you have to go take another sprout.
# Once you are finished chopping the felled tree you should have a number of logs in front of you, perfect to start experimenting with carpentry or firemaking.
 === Making fire Woodcuts ======= Planks ====# You will need a Log from the earlier 'Woodcutting' section# Activate your Saw by Double Clicking it, then choose a log with more than 4kg weight# Richt clicking it with your Saw active should give you a 'Create > Weapon > Plank' option## Succeeding should Provide you a 2kg woodscrap as well as the 2kg Plank. Failing should give you two 2kg woodscraps. Don't toss these as they can be combined and Burned or used to create Kindling. See the 'Making Fire' section earlier# If you fail producing the Plank you can try again on the same Log so long as it is still heavier than 4kg, otherwise you will need a new log.==== Shafts ====# You will need a Log from the earlier 'Woodcutting' section# Activate your Carving Knife by Double Clicking it, then choose a log with more than Xkg weight# Right clicking it with your Saw active should give you a 'Create > Weapon > Shaft' option## Succeeding should Provide you with a Shaft. Failing should give you a woodscrap instead. Don't toss these as they can be combined and Burned or used to create Kindling. See the 'Making Fire' section earlier# If you fail producing the Shaft you can try again on the same Log so long as it is still heavier than Xkg, otherwise you will need a new log. === Making Fire ===# You will need either a Log from the 'Making Logs' section, or woodscraps from the 'Making Woodcuts' section.
# Activate your Carving Knife by double clicking it. Then choose either a Log or Woodscrap with weight more than 1.5kg
** ## Is your Woodscrap too light? You can combine Woodscraps the same way you combine Rock-shards and Iron Lumps (As long as the lumps are glowing). Activate one of the two, then, when right clicking the other you should gain a 'Combine' option. This will destroy both and make a new item with the combined weight of both and a QL that is the weighted average of the pieces. (''Combining a QL 3 0.2kg Woodscrap with a QL 1 0.4kg woodcrap will give you a QL 1.33 0.6kg Woodscrap'')
# Right click on the Woodscrap or Log. You should gain a 'Create > Miscellanious > Kindling' option. you will need a kindling every time you start a fire, and every fire will consume one kindling
## if you fail to create a kindlingfrom a Log, you will create a woodscrap the exact weight of a kindling. Since you can create a Kindling from a woodscrap you shouldn't need to use another woodscrap again or more of your log
# Activate your Steel and Flint. You will need it to light your fire
## If you wish to light a fire on the ground move onto the square you wish to make it on, then right click your kindling, you should get a 'Create > Container > Campfire' option if your Steel and Flint is Active. Doing this will consume your kindling and create a campfire on the space you are standing, this fire will not last long without more fuel however.
## 20kg is the right ammount to fuel a fire with the average log, wasting little after producing two kindling from a 24kg log
# Right click and Examine the fire. This will tell you it's quality andhow fuelled it is which determines how well it burns. If it has plenty of fuel it will burn longer and heat at maximum capacity. The higher the Quality of the Campfire, Forge or Oven the faster it will heat things up inside it, Campfires' Quality are determined by the firemaking skill of the lighter, while Forges and Ovens can be improved with good quality Rockshards and tools.
