'Chainsaw' unbalanced item #1144

Problem: Chainsaw in its current state feels like a magic wand, it costs only a bit to repair with steel, and makes no pollution or neither use any fuel.

Solution: I think adding a fuel that would be a mixture of gasoline and petroleum would be appropriate and make chainsaw at least a bit significant pollutant too. Two-stroke engines make more pollution than four-stroke engines because of their oil and gasoline mixture combustion.

My opinion(not important): Chainsaw is too boring and overpowered, it makes 0 sense for it to use no fuel, and make no pollution. I even think the pollution of steam truck should be increased at least a bit, since pollution still doesn't make much of an impact on the gameplay. Except the bad looking grass, that's probably all.

Yea chainsaw should use fuel (though at a fairly slow rate as Eco only has "barrel of fuel" as a measurement

Also the chainsaw should have a bigger fuel consumption when cutting down trees, same goes for vehicles, they shouldn't have same fuel consumption the whole time, when loaded and riding down/up hill, it should be all different. But I mean, I am going to more detail than just chainsaw now, so that's not a crucial thing here

chainsaw should use fuel for repair, lol

chainsaw already use fuel for repair in 0.9.0 and we have some plan to change this behavior too, vehicles like skid steer and excavator already use additional fuel during digging. move this issue to suggestion.
