FS25 Forestry Helper V1.0.0.6

This mod displays helpful information for logs and helps with cutting to desired lengths or weights.

V1.0.0.6
Fixed a crash which would happen when looking at a tree stump as the first object after loading the save

V1.0.0.5

Fixed an issue where the info box would display mismatching labels and values sometimes
Additional accumulated changes since the previous modhub release:

Fixed an issue where the length indicator would never be shown on very thick logs
Added french translation provided by Shi974
Added brazilian translation provided by Myiamoto86
Fixed a mod conflict which would spam the log

V1.0.0.2
Improved detection on very large logs

V1.0.0.1
– Fixed a client freeze which could occur in multiplayer if the client still had a reference to a tree which no longer exists.

You can use the hotkeys displayed in the F1 menu in order to switch between length and weight modes, and in order to select the target length/weight.
Note that the while the length mode is exact, the weight mode is just an approximation. The weight mode is not available in multiplayer.
The chainsaw will snap to the indicated location once within 20cm. The angle still has to be adjusted manually, however.
The help window displays information which can help with deciding whether or not felling a tree or cutting it down further is worth it.
Note that in order to get the maximum quality possible in base game (which is 120%), a piece of wood needs to be a near perfect frustum of a cone, between 6-11m in length (about 20-36 feet) and may not have any branches still attached.
It isn’t always possible to achieve the maximum quality.

Realism players may also add an absolute or relative additional length buffer to the cut indication length in the general settings.
This mod is of course compatible with the lumberjack mod.

Hotkeys:
[ C ] Switches between length mode and weight mode, or turns this feature off.
[ Z ] Cycles through the possible target lengths and weights.

Thank you for providing detailed information about the Forestry Helper mod version 1.0.0.6 and its previous updates.

It's great to know that in the latest version, a crash related to looking at a tree stump as the first object after loading the save has been fixed. Additionally, previous updates have addressed issues such as mismatched labels and values in the info box, length indicator visibility on very thick logs, and mod conflicts.

The addition of French and Brazilian translations, as well as improvements in detection for very large logs, are notable features of this mod. It's also interesting to learn that players can toggle between length and weight modes using hotkeys from the F1 menu.

The mod's functionality, including snapping the chainsaw to the indicated location within 20cm and providing information to help with decision-making when felling or cutting trees, adds depth to the gameplay experience. The details about achieving maximum quality in the base game, realisms players' options for adjusting cut indication length, and compatibility with the lumberjack mod are valuable for players looking to optimize their forestry operations.

The provided hotkeys [C] to switch modes and [Z] to cycle through target lengths and weights make controlling the mod more convenient for players. With these features and improvements, the Forestry Helper mod enhances the forestry aspect of the game in a realistic and engaging way.
