Lumberjack Base

Lumberjack Base adds a forestry-focused roboport that runs two dedicated scripted workers:

  • Lumberjack Robot cuts nearby trees and brings the wood back to the base storage.
  • Lumberjack Planter Robot consumes stored wood, converts it into sapling stock, and replants the area with Arborist saplings.

How It Works

  1. Craft and place a Lumberjack Base.
  2. Insert one Lumberjack Robot and one Lumberjack Planter Robot.
  3. Put wood into the base storage.
  4. The cutter harvests trees.
  5. The planter converts 1 wood -> 20 saplings and replants within range.

The actual harvesting and planting logic is script-driven, but worker activation depends on installed robot items inside the base.

Arborist Integration

This mod requires Arborist.

The planter does not create fake trees. It fires Arborist saplings, then the planted tree is pushed back to an early growth stage so it behaves like a young planted tree instead of an instantly mature one.

Storage And GUI

Clicking the base opens a chest-like storage window with:

  • two robot install slots
  • the harvested-item storage grid
  • direct wood insertion for planter work

Research

  • Lumberjack Base unlocks the building and both worker robots.
  • Lumberjack Range is infinite research that increases the working radius of both workers.

Debug Setting

Runtime chat messages are off by default.
