Saw tree cutting [B41]+[B42]

Description
Do you live in a world where you can saw logs to boards, but are unable to saw a tree to logs?
Are all axes sold out in your neighborhood or too expensive?
Wait no further, get the saw tree cutting mod.
It is literally like cutting trees but with a saw.

FAQ:
Q: Does this mod require to start a new game?
A: All already spawned saws and gardening saws in ALL containers will disappear, so unless you want to drive to unexplored areas probably yes.
Q: Is this mod compatible with other mods that override the saw or gardening saw?
A: No.
Q: Are saws still sawing?
A: Yes every crafting / sawing works the same as before.
Q: Do saws have a durability?
A[B41]: Yes but the sawblade only ever gets dull when cutting trees.
A[B42]: Yes saws have a durability by default in b42.
Q: Why not use Item Tweaker API?
A[B41]: No one will use this mod anyway, so why bother with the trouble when the tweaking probably wont work at all.
A[B42]: The mod uses getItem(...):DoParam(...) to modify items instead of overwriting the script.
Q: Why this animation?
A: There is no sawing animation in the CharacterActionAnims java class.
Q: Why is the character holding the saw incorrectly?
A: He probably never used a saw in his life before.
Q: Are you f*ck*ng serious?
A: No.
Q[B42]: Why is the sawing sound gone?
A: The sawing sound duration is much longer in b42, so it would not stop playing after the tree is cut down.

It's nice, pretty useful to have, if you can't find an axe you can just cut a tree get the branch and make an axe, though the one downside is that the game prioritize to use saw for woodcutting over axes.

@Scroobles McDoodle
Btw you can create the mod yourself by copying the
item Axe {...} from steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/projectzomboid/media/scripts/items_weapons.txt
Into your own mod directory
To make the axe usable as saw add Saw; to the Tags like this:
Tags = Saw;ChopTree;CutPlant,

With the next update all mods will stop working so creating new mods now is not very high on my priority list.

Can you make a companion mod which saws logs with an axe, but uses the regular saw animation?

@zar Saws in player inventories and on the floor are gone, not sure about zombie inventories that haven't been seen by a player yet

what about saws on the floor and in inventory? (im assuming so because they are technically in containers)

just wanted to tell you that every container i didnt search was fine, i drove to the nearest town house and found one in the garage
