Axe strength vs trees

[Hohmer Symptson]

If the axe does more damage, does that mean the tree will fall quicker? or is it speed? Also does it matter what type of axe you use?

[Syndicake ☠]

the plane axe and the climbing axe take more hits to take down trees, and strength lowers the amount of total required to cut down a tree.

Ah, cool! Thanks for that :)

Modern axe will take down trees the fastest, I found pairing the modern axe with 30 feathers (to reduce energy cost per swing) is the most efficient.

The swing speed actually doesnt determine the tree chop speed, they all chop the same speed im pretty sure.

Yep, thats why I made sure to say that feathers reduce energy cost per swing

That's determined by character strength and type of axe. The crafted axe is just as good as the modern axe. But I think it uses more energy to swing. Not sure will have to test.

I see. So how wouldI build strength then? I've read to avoid meat and let my stomach go empty. but gah! XD

Strength:
Effect:
- Increases weapon damage by (Strength / 140)%, ie: 70 Strength => (70 / 140)% => +50% bonus damage

- Increases fullness threshold used in meat eating formula, causing stronger players to be able to eat slightly more before gaining OvereatingPoints

Formula:
- Updated once per survived in game day (starts happening 24h after starting game regardless what time that was)

- Must have at least 5 cut down trees counted at time of update or strength doesn't change

- Cut down tree count goes down by -0.0035 per second so it cancels the benefit of roughly 9 trees cut down per in game day

- Increases if GoodNutritionPoints are above UndereatingPoints (== well fed and exercising)

- Decreases if GoodNutritionPoints are below UndereatingPoints and tree cut down count is above 10 (== starving and over exert)

Athleticism:
Effect:
- Increases sprint duration by lowering stamina usage per second, max is twice base value at 10 athleticism

- Increases underwater duration (without rebreather) max is twice base value at 10 athleticism

Formula:
- Each cumulated 1.6 hour spent sprinting gives one additional athleticism level

- Each cumulated 25 minutes spent diving without rebreather gives one additional athleticism level

- Intended to yield additional bonus up to 30-50h games

Well, now I just need to figure out my points and stuff. And I guess eating meat is a necessity?
