[0.9] Add a higher tier hewning workstation #1092

Open ThePiachu opened 4 years ago

ThePiachu commented 4 years ago

One interesting suggestion I've heard on the test server - it would be nice to have a higher-tier workstation that can produce hewn logs for the use in carpentry and so on. At the moment you have to use the basic carpentry table for it and that can be a bit slow / calorie consuming for late-game needs.

Is the sawmill not useable by loggers in 9.0? Presumably not the advanced carpentry table either? Certainly a little odd for some woodworkers to be using advanced worktables while professional loggers are still working apparently manually.

A higher-tier version might give the loggers and lumberers some love in any case... image https://woodmizer.co.uk/lx450-sawmill

Sawmill doesn't produce hewn logs, only Workbench and Carpentry Table, and only the Carpentry Table takes Modules.

Sawmill doesn't produce hewn logs

Might it be a possible solution if it did?

This kind of set-up seems entire the kind of thing loggers might be using to make hewn logs - hence, sawmill:

This was my suggestion. Yes with increased demand on logs for Lumber and even more so with Composites, Hewn Logs become a chore for both calories and time.

For example, miners do use a set of machines that are progressively more productive and use less calories by utilizing different sources of power - mechanical and electrical. Loggers currently stop at manual labor at the work table with hand tools.

As a quick fix I would definitely add Hewn Logs to a Sawmill as it makes a lot of sense, while moving all the furniture back to the carpenter table. Sawmill should only produce Hewn Logs, Saw Boards, Lumber.
