Harvesting logs

To obtain a log, you must first cut down a tree using the Tactical Ax available from the beginning of the game. Hit the tree with the left mouse button until it falls to the ground.

It may be necessary to change the character’s position to achieve the desired results because constantly hitting one spot may not be effective.

Cutting logs

Some blueprints require logs of different sizes, so it is crucial to cut them correctly. The cut location is indicated by a red dashed line (as shown in the image above). Clicking the left mouse button will cause the character to aim, and pressing it again will result in cutting a piece of the log.

Logs can be cut lengthwise or crosswise, depending on the desired form for construction. Regardless of the final shape, the cutting process remains the same.
