<p>ShadowBB: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Skill<br /> | color = rgb(255,255,0)<br /> | skill = Wood Cutter<br /> | speciality = Woodcutter<br /> | profession = [[Woodworker]]<br /> | job name = [[Wood Cutting]]<br /> | tasks =<br /> * Chop down trees<br /> }}<br /> A '''wood cutter''' cuts down [[tree]]s to create [[wood]] logs.<br /> <br /> To employ a wood cutter, give him the [[wood cutting]] labor, and [[Designations|designate]] some trees for logging using the keys {{key|d}}-{{key|t}}. <br /> <br /> A wood cutter also requires an available [[axe]]. The quality or material of the axe has no effect on any aspect of woodcutting - a [[quality|no-quality]] [[copper]] axe is the same as a [[quality|masterwork]] [[steel]] or [[adamantine]] one. (The same is not true for axes in [[weapon|combat]].)<br /> <br /> This skill increases rapidly. With an ample supply of trees, a dedicated wood cutter who does not do his own wood [[hauling]] can reach legendary status in well under a year, and can singlehandedly meet the lumber needs of most types of fortresses. A single [[dwarf]] can also function well as a dedicated wood cutter ''and'' [[Plant gathering|plant gatherer]], provided that this dwarf is not your sole food provider.<br /> <br /> A dwarf cannot have both the [[Mining]] and Wood Cutting labors enabled, as doing so would require them to dual-wield an axe and a pick. <br /> <br /> Woodcutters are working outdoors where they are in constant danger of being [[ambush]]ed by invaders or attacked by wild animals (unless, of course, you are the proud owner of an [[Tower-cap#Underground_tree_farm|underground tree farm]]), but they are also one of the few civilian professions which carry [[weapons]] with them. So they should be taught how to use their axes to defend themself (and others) properly by making them spend a few months as [[axedwarf]]es in your [[military]]. <br /> <br /> Setting all dwarves which must work outside to Wood Cutting can be a good idea, as it means they will carry axes with them at all times - though this also means that they will usually interrupt anything they're doing to go chop trees.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Skills}}<br /> [[Category:Jobs]]</div>

Do I need [[flux]] for steel production?<br /> *Whats the point of choosing one home [[civilization]] over another?<br /> *Why do I want [[turtle]]s instead of perch and why is it important not to [[cook]] them?<br /> *What's the [[rope]] used for? And why might I pick [[thread]] instead?<br /> *What are [[skills]] versus [[labor]]? Why not max them out? (seriously!)<br /> *Why do I not need a proficient Woodcutter?<br /> *Why should I give one dwarf novice skill in [[appraiser]] and [[Broker_skills#Judge_of_intent|judge of intent]]?<br /> *Why is the digging pattern in 'Tutorial part 04' a bad idea? (Well, you can tell that from watching - don't have circular setups or pathing in general that gives your dwarves 2 identical paths to choose from)<br /> [[Category:Guides]]</div>
