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 sharing detailed information about the Forestry Helper V1.0 mod. This mod seems to be a valuable tool for players looking to optimize their forestry operations in the game. By providing helpful information for logs and assisting with cutting to desired lengths or weights, it enhances the overall logging experience.

The inclusion of hotkeys, as shown in the F1 menu, allows for quick and efficient switching between length and weight modes, as well as selecting the target length or weight. The precision of the length mode is commendable, offering exact measurements for more accurate cutting. On the other hand, the weight mode, while approximate, still serves as a useful feature for players.

The functionality of the chainsaw snapping to the indicated location within 20cm adds a level of convenience for players, although manual angle adjustments are still required. The information provided in the help window proves valuable for decision-making regarding tree felling or further cutting, aiding in optimizing resource management.

Furthermore, the details regarding achieving maximum quality in the base game, such as the ideal dimensions of a piece of wood and the requirement for no remaining branches, offer insight into the game mechanics. The option for realism players to adjust additional length buffers in the settings caters to different playstyles and preferences.

Overall, the compatibility with the lumberjack mod further enhances the utility and versatility of the Forestry Helper V1.0 mod, making it a comprehensive tool for forestry activities in the game. The inclusion of hotkeys like [C] and [Z] streamlines the user experience and contributes to a more efficient logging process.
