Tree Farm unable to chop the trees.

[Suficer]

Probably a stupid question, but can't seem to find another discussion about this.

For some reason the trees in the tree farm are unable to being chopped down. I've completed the quest and left it a couple of days, as well as reload a previous save and did it all again, but for some reason no tree is being able to be chopped. Has there been a glitch like this before or is there a solution, or another thing that has faulted it?

Hopefully one not to have to restart as this save file I'm trying to go very slowly and take as much time as I can on it lol.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Give it time. Also, did you try the trees at the far end? I seem to remember -- although I'm not sure -- that they started to become available before the trees closer to the entrance...

Also, which quest? The tree farm has more than one...

Sorry, the quest upto the water tank and sprinklers, all them are done and can change the delivery book if wanting to.
Never had to try the trees at the far end before, always any of them were available before, but will give it a go when back on there.

Will be a damn bu**er if it’s an unreparable glitch as will have to start again and so far spent ages on this saved file taking it slowly haha.

The moment I was done with helping the tree farm open, that moment their trees stopped being choppable. I think this is probably a normal thing though. The tree farm is meant to be a "store" where you can order wood, so since they are opening for business, they are not letting you chop their trees anymore. When I want wood, I usually go to trees all around Portia, but I have to much stone and hardwood by now that I can convert to wood, that it really does not matter. I just order from them some ironwood and hardwood and I am set for life for a very low price.

I'm coming up against this myself now. I have to say I'm disappointed. I would love for a bugfix to either open up the tree farm for choppin' again or let you choose between chopping and delivery, or something other than just "Nope, you'll never be able to use the tree farm again and they are stuck in an eternal autumn."

I'm pretty sure I was able to use the tree farm again properly (that is, chop them myself) later in the game. It might just be a hidden timer for the trees to "recover", although it's probably too long.

Ok, now that I've gotten further, let me be fair to these guys.

Close upon completion of the Tree Farm quest is the Bassiano Lift, which opens up another large area with plenty of trees to fell, including ironwood trees and a few other surprises. You can fast-travel up there and chop your day away as an acceptable alternative to the Tree Farm.

Upon the first day of spring the following year, I found that the Tree Farm was also restored to choppable condition, in addition to still being able to order wood.

So the trick is to try to time the lift control repair as close to the Tree Farm quest conclusion as possible, and you won't even miss it.
