Chop wood
Main Article: Orders
Chop wood is used to mark trees or Saguaro cacti to be cut down for their wood. It will only mark trees that have achieved at least 40% growth.
There are two variations:
- Click Chop Wood then click one or more trees individually.
- Click Chop Wood then click and drag to select multiple trees.
Trees marked in this way are marked with yellow shears.
Trees, even if they have not achieved 40% growth, can be harvested by using Cut Plant instead of Chop Wood. Trees marked in this way are marked with a yellow machete.
Trees bear an amount of wood based on their growth.
Only colonists assigned the plant cutting job will chop down trees. A colonist may be directly ordered to chop down a marked tree. Select a colonist assigned to plant cutting, right-click a marked tree, click Prioritize cutting. The time it takes a colonist to chop down a tree it determined by their Plant Work Speed.
