Infinite wood bug?
« on: October 06, 2014, 06:13:26 am »

I cut down 4 or so trees and the wood splitting block auto queed the smoothing all good. So I get 2 planks per log right? And then the guy takes the logs and smoothes it again giving me another 2 planks per plank and so on and on.

Am I getting infinite wood?

No, planks are the end of the line.

Be careful, because planks can't be used as regular "wood" (smooth wood can).

Personally, I prefer using the splitting block only for smoothing the logs early on, because the sawmill is twice as good for planks, and have more recipes.


But back to your question, no, you are only smoothing rough logs (the default logs) on automatic.

Yeah, the endless loop happens if you don't have "simple wood" turned on.  Because then, instead of the smoothing action being restricted to the basic wood type, it's instead open to every wood - including 'smooth' wood.

I don't think it actually gives you any more wood, though.  Just more sawdust.
