Default What is the Log Truck with Chainsaw?

Q: What is the Log Truck with Chainsaw?

A: There are 15 Log Truck w/Chainsaws. They make it much easier to chop the trees than 1 at a time. These tools use Fuel and can be used on other farms when hired.





Log truck with Chainsaw (3x3) - You MUST use the 3x3 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 9 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (8x4) - You MUST use the 8x4 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 32 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (8x8) - You MUST use the 8x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 64 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (12x8) - You MUST use the 12x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 96 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (12x12) - You MUST use the 12x12 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 144 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (12x16) - You MUST use the 12x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 192 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (16x16) - You MUST use the 16x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 256 trees in 1 click.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (20x20) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 400 trees and uses a new method of chopping.
When selecting the new 20x20 Log Truck w/Chainsaw instead of the Eye in the bottom right you will see the current tool icon >>



When you click on that icon, you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 buttons.
The one in the top (Highlight) selects the old method of highlighting each individual item.
The one in the middle selects the New Method (Extent) of highlighting only the perimeter of the area where the tool will operate. Instead of highlighting all the trees, this new method will just highlight a fixed squared section of the farm which works faster and with less manual mistakes. When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.
The bottom button closes the box.



Also, the tool will always operate as if the Eye was closed, meaning, the recently worked items will be hidden once the work on them is completed..

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (24x24) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 576 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (28x28) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 784 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (32x32) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 1024 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (36x36) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 1296 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (40x40) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 1600 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (44x44) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 1936 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Log Truck w/Chainsaw (48x48) - This Log Truck w/Chainsaw will chop up to 2034 trees and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.


These tools can be accessed easily if they are placed into Storage. You then click on the Yellow Tool box to access them.


To use the Log Truck w/Chainsaw, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Chop Trees" and then click on the item.
  • However, it is better to place all tools into your Storage. That way you can access all your tools from the Yellow Tool box, on any of your farms, without having to move the tool from farm to farm. Once they are in Storage, you can click on the Yellow Toolbox to open it, and then click on the tool you want to use.
  • NOTE: Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

You can also use the Axe (single chop tool) to chop trees one at a time, if you don't own the tools. To select the Axe, click on the Yellow Toolbox and select the tool.
