The PERFECT Log Length DOES Exist

[@jonny5777]

It’s the age old problem, sometimes wood just isn’t as big as it is in your head

[@filip1117s]

sooo... thicknes near tip really matters... and bigger is better

I wish the was a laugh emoji in the like button!

There is a difference in the last part of the tree. If your last cut is over4 (I believe) meters it stays, but if it is under it totally disappears,

[@Aceman487]

the randomness of the weight is simulating what trees do IRL, some trees are heavier than others, it really depends on it's health and conditions. I work construction and i've held 2x4's of the same length and they both weigh different, it really depends on the density of the wood.

[@Iwan1803]

A tree is a tree, but not every tree is identical to other trees. This means that a tree is sometimes lighter and sometimes heavier. You should have done the test with a single tree. Cut down, save the game, cut the tree into 6 meters and sell, note the result, load the savegame, cut into 8 meters and sell, etc.

[@applejackcarsparks8482]

The randomness is simulating tree health and quality cause wild growth varies

[@papercrane747]

I wish there was a feature with the spray paint where you could mark out a certain length, for example 6 meters, and then cut on that line so that you wouldnt need a processor.

[@iBrocast]

This is just realistic. Every tree is different because it's a living being. Every tree has a different amount of moisture in it and that will make up a few hundred kgs per tree. Also small differences in growth also add up over the full length of the tree. Some trees also have been partially eaten by bugs on the inside, which makes them lighter than other.

[@shanebennett4761]

If giants are replicating true forestry the main difference in the weights is moisture content

[@Supernovascotian-rr6cr]

My suggestion is that the thickness of ur saw bar would waste so much tree?!? And maybe the more cuts ur lossen way more liters of wood to waste. Just a thought lol

[@christopherwells4253]

Ah sir... I need to know what tree you are planting that grows trailers.

[@Driver53Gaming]

Ya see, that tree jumped out in front of the tractor when I was maneuvering to load up the smaller length logs. You should have seen what one of the other trees did to the harvester...

[@christopherwells4253]

@Driver53Gaming ah, if they are jumping in front of you, I would be more worried about these trees not being trees but Ents. In that case I'd just run 🤣

[@Tedger]

Glad it wasnt red pine..

[@prjndigo]

try 9 9 9 and 6m lengths XD. there's some mathematical volume goofyness going on AND you can also end up with false diameters or sometimes cuts carrying false dimensions.. cutting the very very tip off the end first will produce a flat end which helps the math be correct.

[@Punnikin1969]

If you still have this setup, see what value you can get from chipping an entire tree as compared to selling it as logs.

[@mrbgam1ng809]

this would all depend on how high the price is for selling wood chips and what time of the year . winter is usualy the best time to sell woodchips unless theres a high demand some were for it . and if you sell to much your gonna get a price drop also.

[@Punnikin1969]

@@mrbgam1ng809 I understand all of this, but if you're doing a comparison of log length at comparable selling prices (say, 80% of maximum) and you sell the chips from an entire tree at a similar price point, what kind of loss could you expect? Logging is involving and costly but chipping is relatively cheap and fast. Granted, you can use lumber to make other products, but wood chips can be a fast way of making decent capital to buy more expensive equipment later on.

[@MrBertstare]

There is a crossover point where it’s worth more in chips. I just finished lodgepole and oak testing

[@MrBertstare]

It’s replicating real life. Logs hold a ton of water and can vary based on area

[@SwordMaster2404]

Did you use map-trees (trees, that are on the map when you start a fresh game) or use self planted and grown trees?

[@Driver53Gaming]

@@SwordMaster2404 i used trees that I harvested already on the map. Reference the beginning of the video where I explain where I harvested the trees from.

[@Skullwalker]

Nice tree decoration 😅

[@Cheese_burgergaming]

What kind of new mod is that? I want to grow roudolph trees to

[@joelg8004]

Kind of weird giants removed containers for trees.

[@rabidbadger5260]

Yeah, they're a miss for sure

[@chasedooley6237]

Don't worry, they'll sell that again in the Forestry DLC in a year or two

[@KingNiallGT]

@@chasedooley6237 most likely. in every other game by the end there are a ton of dlc and a ton of equipment they added. so we'll see what they decide this time. im hoping for more variety for the new crops.

[@JokeeGA5]

When you look at everything that’s missing. I mean I don’t even know wtf.

[@Imfrostysgaming]

Atleast your game shows the mass. My duos never has, and mine use to but now it doesn’t 🙃

[@tonys2683]

The length of your log matters..... That's what she said

[@chrisjones6002]

I wonder if you tried the same tests but used the exact same tree. Cut the tree, see what it gives you then quit the game, load and cut it again.

[@AndirHon]

With randomness applied, he'd have to do the same test with multiple trees as well to get the true "best" if there is one. From the numbers shown, I'm not convinced there is one.

[@silentzoner267]

make em all 4.5 double ur profits

[@sgttownley5800]

just chip the tree and get way more in wood chips

[@PauperJ]

48.5 meters

[@p1rmcbacon463]

I had the perfect log once, then I flushed...

[@androidvsevlasov6484]

yes, it's all simple because it's a garbage game, the developers of which understood one simple truth "mod makers will fix everything themselves" why bother then?

[@shabeb73]

In the video you said that 9 m offers the most money per liter when in fact it is 6 m
