Xacktastic Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) SPOILERS!Currently, I am farming tree's. I think I have figured out a good system, so I thought I would share!First off, you need a firepit/camp that is somewhere near a pig village, but not too close. To start this tree farming strategy you only need: - 4 or 5 meats - An axe - Pine cones, the more the better.You want to start this process right after a full moon, giving you seven entire days and nights before the pigs start giving you problems. (this is why we don't want to be too far from the village)Step One You want to lay all your pine cones down and form a tree line similar to this:This formation lets you and your pigs gain access to every tree easily. It is also helpful to place this setup right next to a marsh, as seen here:Step Two Wait two days, and then head to the nearby pig village at dawn. Hopefully you can get there in 2/16 or less. Once there, feed those 4 or 5 pigs your meat and bring them back. Step Three Hopefully you made it back to your camp and treeline by noon. Now it's time to go to work. Position yourself in the middle of the two tree lines, and hit a tree once. Your piggy friends will do the rest for you!If they stop cutting at any point, just move a little bit and hit a new tree, they will most likely start up again.Step FourDepending on how many trees you laid down, you may not have enough time to finish that afternoon. If you have 30+ trees, chances are you can't, and will need to head back to camp for the night and rest.Step FiveAt dawn, get back out there and repeat Step Three until every tree is cut down.Don't start collecting logs or pine cones yet!Step SixAssuming you didn't run into any Treeguards, you now need to get your pigs killed before they run home. So head on into the marsh and have them attack tentaculars and frogs until none remain. Make sure to pick up all their meat!Step SevenNow go reap the benefits! Grab all your logs, replant every pine cone, and then rest at camp for the night! In the morning, you repeat the process from Step One.This has worked very well for me so far, and I can usually get off 2 rotations per moon cycle without dealing with were-pigs and without ever feeding them more than the original meat. If you have any questions, let me know below! Edited November 3, 2012 by Xacktastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoweangel Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks Xack! Severely cut down on my harvest time for trees, although I find I don't bother most of the time and just gather on the go, it is nice to have a farm near my base to arrange for stockpiles!

Xacktastic Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 No problem! I like to always have a stockpile as well, and this works great! =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
501105 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Great idea, not to mention the possibility of it being used as a line of defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Kevin Posted November 5, 2012 Developer Share Posted November 5, 2012 Wow - just noticed this thread. That's awesomely detailed, Xack! Be careful what you post, though! I have a reputation around the office for closing people's favourite exploits (Actually, you're pretty safe with your strategy - everything seems to be working as designed.)

LadyD Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have similar structure where I use 3 rows with various trees in various stages of growth to log mine. Use the pigs to chop. Then go back in evening and use the shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Kevin Posted November 5, 2012 Developer Share Posted November 5, 2012 Given the way that ol' Piney decides to spawn, I'd say that you're playing with fire with this strategy. I guess that if you're using mostly young trees and you have a lot of pigs around you should be pretty safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyD Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I use mid sized trees. The lure optimus pine away to the pastures where I either- pan pipe him. Lose him or pine cone him to death again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoweangel Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Optimus might as well just chop himself up and fall on my fire. I eat humongous anthropomophic pine trees for breakfast. With a shovel. Made of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xacktastic Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah, no one noticed this thread for like 2 days. Haha. I was thinking no one cared. It took a bit to put together, I was hoping it might get stickied for new people to take a look at!And yeah, I usually cut them down mid range.

LadyD Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 When I need pine cones I for for the Big guns. Then I watch optimus pine chase me. I run to tent and BAM he doesnt know who I am! HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
