Chop Trees With One Hit

[Gamling]

Is anyone else aware of this glitch ?
If you set a tree on fire, you can chop the whole thing down with one hit (with a golden axe), not treid with other axes yet.

You mean you get actual logs instead of charcoal, while it still burns?

Normal is, you set tree on fire, it burns, you chop it with one hit and get 1 charcoal and possibly a pine cone.

[Gamling]

No, you chop it before it burns (while it's still on fire) and you get all the logs and pinecones with 1 hit.

Interesting. Does it work that way in Don't Starve too?

And I don't think it's meant to be that way. But don't the logs burn anyway?

[Gamling]

Nothing burns, the minute you chop the tree, the fire goes out and you get all the loot.
I have not tried it on Don't Starve, definitely works on DTS though.

I guess you have to space the trees out to not set more than one on fire. Sounds kinda bothersome. But you could of course check bug section in Klei's forums, and add it if no one else mentioned it.

Well not really, it takes a lot longer for a single fire to spread than it take for you to switch to your axe and chop the tree once.

lol this is not glitch or something, it is normal, it work with all axes and all dont starve game but also when its burning you chop it you will still get everything but they will burn beacause the fire spread to those

My sister figured this out a long time ago. Set a tree on fire then imideietly chop it. They go down in 1 hit. However the fire will spread fast if you are too slow or did not space them properly.

This bug is old as DS.
It is in the RoG too.
And in DST.

It's a mistake in the scripts, what is easy to solve. Devs just do not care about this cheat-move.
