Question about tree stumps

[Ash]

Should I remove them? I know they give firewood, but not sure if they're needed for the tree to regrown again.

They do not regrow, chop away

Thank you.

there a way to get the wood cutter to hit the stumps?

Nope, not yet anyways.

Fingers crossed woodcutters will tear out stumps in the future.

Related to tree stumps, are they intended to use the mining skill and pick axes?

Yes, strangely enough, I would have thought builders with spades/shovels would have been more appropriate, or warehouse workers with shovels, or anyone with shovels really.

there also isn't any spot for firewood I noticed

Regarding regrowth: trees do go through a lifecycle from unharvestable saplings, to dwarf trees, which yield sticks. to regular cutable trees. I don't know if they grow from thin to thick trees. I am not aware of any need to leave stumps for this to occur - they definitely don't sprout from the trunks. Tree growth apparently takes a couple in-game years, based on other threads.

Regarding tools: it is the pickaxe, and only the player can do it. Hardwood takes iron tools just like the trees do, even though all stumps yield only firewood.

There is firewood storage at the woodcutter, and you can build more at the warehouse.

Bonus point, evidently it's best to convert as much firewood as possible to charcoal, because it's more efficient to burn and it doesn't decay.

Don´t remove them until you need firewood. Firewood lying around decays. Stumps don´t decay.

You can also build firewood storage bins in houses, which villagers seem to keep stocked helps them keep the fires going in winter.

It is nice that charcoal is more efficient and lasts longer, however I've never seen the villagers use charcoal for fires and there's no charcoal storage bin in houses.

It would be the stone cutter though I guess, as that uses the pickaxe and I even got stonecutter levels for removing them :D

Good catch, I forgot about that.

As far as I can tell trees won't grow if all the stumps are left in place. I removed some and started to get trees in second year. At this point I don't k ow of trees are growing back on exactly the same spot they were cut from after stumps removed or random placement and still need stumps removed in an area. I was too busy prepping for and fighting off an invasion to notice such details. I was also too busy berating my fisherman for standing around with the wrong rod in his hand!

That's a good point. I imagine the saplings won't come in if there's no room left with stumps in place.
