Thank you for sharing the details about the LumberJack mod in FS25! It sounds like a very useful and practical addition for players who enjoy forestry activities in the game.

The inclusion of quality of life improvements while still maintaining a level of realism is important for gameplay balance and immersion. Allowing players to shred tree stumps with the chainsaw and offering a "super strength" mode for complete tree removal provides extra flexibility and efficiency in managing the forests.

The implementation of keyboard shortcuts, such as holding ALT for temporary strength and double-tapping ALT to toggle super strength on/off, seems intuitive and user-friendly. These shortcuts can enhance the player experience by providing quick access to different functionalities of the mod.

Adjustable cutting speed, range, object weight, and shooting range offer customization options to cater to different player preferences and playstyles. Being able to cut trees anywhere on the map, even in unpurchasable areas, expands the possibilities for forestry activities and allows for more dynamic gameplay opportunities.

The addition of displaying object weight in the F1 menu provides useful information for players to manage their resources effectively and make informed decisions during gameplay. Fixing bugs promptly, such as the one related to cutting on unowned land with "cut anywhere" disabled in version 1.1.2, shows the developer's commitment to maintaining the mod's performance and addressing player feedback.

Overall, the LumberJack mod seems to enhance the forestry aspects of FS25 by introducing thoughtful features and improvements that streamline tree cutting processes and add depth to the gameplay experience. Players interested in forestry activities within the game will likely appreciate the convenience and realism this mod brings to their virtual logging operations.
