How to level logging?

[Guedez]

NO seriously, I am in single player, at 400x multiplier (food house etc) and the logging barely moves at all, all other specs almost instantly go to lv7, but logging does not seem to care to move up ever
Seems I get 0.1 per branch cleared? That's it? How many trees do I need to kill to get to lv 7? This is insane. How come hitting a tree gives no exp? Just the last hit and the cleanup?

Clearing the debris should give a lot of XP.

[Guedez]

0.1 is not a lot, it's 1/10th of what cutting a tree gives
Spending 5 minutes hammering a redwood gives the same exp as killing a palm tree. It's broken

But I figured out the most optimal way to level logging
Grab 1000s of tree seeds, plant them all, cut them down as soon as they give even 1 wood, don't even bother spacing them out

Unfortunately this is the optimal way

Something is messed up then in your configuration. There is a problem with XP for cutting trees, cause removing debris should actually give more.

I never changed my configs, it's vanilla fresh downloaded 8.0
Maybe the game is taking some old configuration for a pre-8.0 installation? I used to play in 7.2~ish

May i quote your first post "400x multiplier" - this is definately not default.

[Guedez]

5x (40~ food + 40~house) = 400~
I don't know what is the default single player local server exp multiplier, but I think 5x is about right for 1 player

I am necroing this thread. Dennis, your server is configured differently, or the devs changed but forgot to commit
Every single server I go, cutting down a tree is 1 exp, and removing the debris is 0.1 exp
This is way too low, lv1 requires 900 exp and lv2 requires 3600, lv3 is 8100 (and assuming n^2*900, lv4=14400, lv5=22500, lv6=32400). That's killing 81,900 trees to max logging (or 819,000 debris)
