0.17 Status: Working prototype
ETA: When it's ready
Preview:

The chainsaw is a mining tool specialized in cutting trees that aim to fill that void before you get a flamethrower or the construction bots, or for people who want to get to keep the wood but find the axe to be a pain.

What's new

I found a way to make the thing only be able to mine wood, so no more explosion or damage like before.

I also added a hotkey to switch between the chainsaw and the fastest mining tool in your inventory. (Default key is "CTRL+TAB", can be changed in Factorio settings menu.)

I switched the default key to CTRL+TAB since the devs changed the default key for switching gun from Q to TAB.

Very minor multiplayer issue

To make it only able to mine wood, I must put the entity under the player cursor minable flag to false.
This means that in multiplayer a player could stop another player from mining something by placing his cursor on the same entity while holding the chainsaw.

The cost

It requires steel processing and basic engine to be researched, cost 20 red and 20 green science.

To be made it require :
- 2 x steel-plate
- 5 x iron-plate
- 1 x engine-unit
- 20 x coal
