FS25 Forestry Helper V1.0

This mod displays helpful information for logs and helps with cutting to desired lengths or weights.
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 functionality of the Forestry Helper V1.0 mod. It seems like a very useful tool for players looking to optimize their logging operations in FS25.

The ability to switch between length and weight modes using hotkeys (C) and cycle through target lengths/weights (Z) makes it convenient for players to tailor their cutting settings according to their needs. It's also good to know that while the length mode is precise, the weight mode provides an approximation, and that it's not available in multiplayer.

The fact that the chainsaw snaps to the indicated location within 20cm can save players time and effort, although manual adjustment for angles is still required. The help window displaying information on tree quality is a nice touch, helping players make informed decisions about whether to fell or further cut down a tree.

The tip about achieving maximum quality in the base game by cutting wood into near-perfect frustum cones of 6-11m in length without branches attached is valuable information for players aiming for top-quality logs. The option to adjust the cut indication length with additional buffers for realism players adds a customizable aspect to the mod, allowing for greater control over the cutting process.

It's great to know that this mod is compatible with the lumberjack mod, as it offers even more possibilities for efficient forestry management in the game. Overall, the Forestry Helper V1.0 mod seems like a comprehensive tool that enhances the logging experience in FS25.
