Well we got new base building elements and you'll need more materials to build them, especially wood. And yes you could use an axe like before to chop it down but we know you. You want power. You want strength. You want... a chainsaw! Well here you go my little lumberjacks:
the chainsaw, a saw with a chain. This tool is not here purely for the fun of it tho. Ok maybe alittle bit for the fun of it but it is quite useful. So yes you can cut everything with it, with it's own special sets of animations as well!
So what's the real kicker? Well with the chainsaw you get more materials for each cut than you would get with the axe. So if you want to build those real big walls you have less trips to the forest. It also cuts way faster than the axe does. I mean it is a chainsaw after all.
There is a drawback tho, you will need fuel. Yes the chainsaw does indeed use fuel in order to operate. To fill it you will need 2 things, gas canister and gas itself. Once you have it simply hold F on the saw or right click it and refuel the chainsaw. Also take note that the chainsaw will not cut anything if not fueled and switched on.
So how do you turn it on? Well the controls are pretty much the same as weapons so you don't have learn that much:
- Press R for switching it on/off.
- Press SHIFT+R to check fuel amount.
Important thing to notice is that it takes strength to start the chainsaw. So if you create a character with low STR it will take a lot more pulls for the chainsaw to start compared to a character with high STR.
But I know what you want to know the most, you psychos. Can I chop people with it. Well yes yes and soon.
Yes you can cut at people as a melee weapon with it and yes you can chop bodies with it. Soon tho means that special melee attacks with the chainsaw are going to be implemented in the future.
