how to cut wood with hatchet

[Fabiolus]

Do I have to have Hatchet in hand? If so how to put hatchet in hand to begin with?

Go out and find something like downed tree in picture.

If you have a hatchet, and click on a branch or limb to cut it up[, the game will automatically equip and use any tools you have that can do the job. If you have several in inventory, you can use the arrow(s) in the UI to toggle through what you have and slecet the most efficicent or highest quality tool, or bare hands where you can use them. Branches- I find it best to break down with bare hands, as long as i am warm enough. The time it takes increases with bare hands, but it does not decrease and tool condition form wear and tear. Limbs you need to use a tool to harvest, no bare hands option.

Sweet! Thank you

Lol! Just a hint- sticks are free. They cost nothing to pick up, even though they have very short burn time. But they cost no kcals or fatigue to grab, just the fatigue from carrying a ton of them in inventory.

And some of us (<<< *points at self*) have become obsessive compulsive stick hoarding picker-uppers. xD

I never heard of such an obsessive behavior?? who would ever just collect sticks and stockpile hundreds of them in various locations all over CH and sneak around wolves just to gather more?? haha

It seems as though this thread is branching out into unintended territory. It would be nice if we could stick to the point. (hehe)

My good friends above are correct to say that sticks are plentiful and free. On the other hand, the hatchet has very little use other than to chop firewood. The knife is a better weapon, the prybar is better at opening ice fishing holes, and the hacksaw is better at harvesting frozen meat.

So if you are warm enough, and have the calories to spare, by all means feel free to chops some real firewood.

Otherwise you'll end up like @IFIYGD, running around in the woods shreiking "Sticks, must have sticks!" while making awful puns.

And they wonder why wolves attack them.

I have about 200+ sticks stored in jackrabbit island rn, and typically carry 15-20 on my person at all times.
