How do I get planks before I find an Axe?

[Hawthorn]

I read you can destroy interior doors to get planks? Do I need an axe to do that? Can I hit it with a knife or something?

How do I get planks!

[cloud9807]

You can use any weapon to destroy any doors but the axe is the fastest way to do it. You can also ramdomly find planks in crates, shelves, or warehouses.
P.S. you can find an axe inside a warehouse.

You don't want to get planks from destroying doors - you won't get many. Do that when you want doorknobs and hinges. The best way to get planks is to cut down a tree, preferably with an axe but any weapon will do, and then use a saw to cut the logs into planks. You'll get at least 6 planks per tree.

Warehouses are the best places to check. You may also want to go to the logging company. They may have some boards there.

You could technically fell a tree with a fork. It'd take a long time, but you can do it.

the weird thing is, you can have a saw but not "chop" a tree with it....why? I mean those trees arent big and a saw is the perfect tool for it. Instead i had to use an iron..., the good thing is, the iron isnt that slow and doesnt break that fast.

The problem is within the code ... a saw can't be equipped as a weapon and only weapons can currently do damage to world objects ;)

Will hopefully be fixed in the future.

ROBO MAT .. Dude you rock ..

BTW - can you fix the SprayPaint Mod for the steam version .. holy crap I need that to stay organized..

[Robo | TinyRick]

*blush*

Thanks Hawthorn :)

The Spraypaint Mod is made by Thuztor and I can't update it without his permission. Sorry!

[Hawthorn]

What we need is an open source modding community and a Mod Manager like Skyrim Nexus. I am serious this game has amazing moding potential.

Imagine an open community where Mods can be updated, branched and extended.

I would love to add more paint sprites, fix bugs, etc..

Lol, cutting a tree with a fork. I have got to try that. Wonder how many forks I will go through ?


I found that using steam to load the game breaks many of the current mods. But if you load the .bat files included many of the mods work, if not all.

Currently using the Spraypaint mod, Robomats Lockpicking and Unpacking and a few other miscellaneous mods.

I should also note that using the bat file ruins the zoom in and out feature. Not sure why this is, annoying in some ways but not a huge problem considering all the mods you get to use in the process.

[Robo | TinyRick]

The only problem with outdated mods is, that they might cause issues with the game. For example I know for a fact that my Sleeping Overhaul mod will basically remove all newer features like placing a sheetrope etc. from the game ;)

Does my Lockpicking mod get loaded without the bat? Actually it should be. If not then it is a bug and needs to be reported :)

Just for info, i have tried to scearch mutiple warehouses and still haven't found an axe (i am playing with abundant resources) so the % chance to find it is F***ed up

I replied in your other thread.

I found my first axe!!!! This was in sandbox mode with Loot set to normal (not rare). But it was on the corpse of a zed!! I now check every corpse I kill and I have found large packs, axe, and even a pistol!
