Archived Tree Feller, Excavator Not Perfect

[pldeutz]

I believe that the ability to fell trees and excavate and mine via the right click eg. "Tree feller" etc has a very long cool-off time and doesn't really help a great deal anyway. The cooldown is like 2-3 mins, im not sure how long exactly but it would work better in my mind if the feller etc actually cut more trees in a slightly longer period. In that case the cool-down would feel justified. But I still struggle to cut one or more trees with it before it runs out. The productivity of players and building could be enhanced with a greater tree feller or mining command. And the tree feller command where the whole tree falls after chopping the bottom block (including the leaves!) would help people clear land more productively (and not leave the floating-tops). Im sure this is an issue with most players and is annoying more than anything else. But I think it could be greatly improved. Thx for reading my complaint/suggestion.

The period during which you can use the tree feller ability gets longer as you gain levels, so if you cut a lot of trees, it gets easier. The fact that it almost always leaves some leaves and wood at the top for large trees is a concern as it propagates "floating" trees. There is a sense where I wouldn't want new players to be able to better "clear" the land, as most players don't replant trees. I think this would result in trees existing only on faction land, if at all.

Well nevertheless floating-trees are an issue and an annoyance more than anything else. If something could be done I'd be grateful. Ive been on plenty of other servers with the tree feller mod and the tree would fall and everything with it, not leaving a block in the sky. That worked.

Massivecraft has some custom trees that really look cool, but don't seem to always play well with tree feller.

Several statements to make:
Premiums have shorter McMMO cooldowns (Half the normal)
The amount of time is short to balance the ability (For RP's sake, would you really be able to smash through a hundred meters of stone in a few seconds or instantly, just because you tried a bit harder? I think not.)

"I still struggle to cut one or more trees"
How can you fail to cut one tree with tree feller?

Maybe it's a giant birch/baobab tree?

Also, I found it that when you use tree feller, it sometimes only breaks the logs on the y-axis of whatever log was broken, wasting your axe durability AND tree feller time.

I agree with you tax, also Illo you can fail to cut one tree if its really big as Tax said. Sometimes i grow trees and they all come out as big oak trees, when i go to cut them with tree feller it says they are too big for tree feller, i think something should be done about that as you may not want to waste your axe on enormous trees. Thanks (hug)

I usually start at the top and cut my way down, because he puts less strain on the tool durability.
