Looked at it yesterday. It's a good variant if you need wood, not care about immersion. It's still not much realistic... and not much balanced... place 10-30 of this farm-trees, and you'll have tons of wood every day or two without any effort even with 5 wood per tree option. Multiply this with 10-15 settlements and you'll be able to bury entire commonwealth under wood. My thoughts as well. Real tree farming is a decade-based operation and requires lots of land. I like immersive mods and games. I don't see how this could be made realistic without being made useless in terms of game time. That's why I'm hoping for some way to harvest from all the existing sources that are already all over.

I was thinking along similar lines, but in the vein of scavenging from existing sources. Cary an axe for trees, a blowtorch to cut steel from junk cars, a sledgehammer or pick to "mine" concrete from roads, etc. I do like the idea of expanded facilities though if it was done right.

Yea, I saw that mod. Looks promising, but it still doesn't make sense as to why I can't get wood from existing nearby trees. The magical green border... two feet makes the difference between being able to get 30 wood and zero.

I want a mod so that I can cut down a tree in the wild and "scrap" it for wood. Lore-wise the current system doesn't make an sense. If it were real, who would travel across the land to another settlement to order a shipment of wood, when they could just walk a few feet farther out of their settlement and cut down a tree? I'm sick of running out of wood, just to see trees standing all of 5 feet outside the green settlement boundary. The scrap wood available in a settlement just isn't enough. The amount I use building a settlement is more than I get from scrapping the trees, etc. It's a net loss, and the only other means of getting wood don't fill the gap well. I make sure to carry every item from an explored location back to my workshop, but the amount of wood is a pathetic trickle that way. Buying shipments is the best way once scrap trees are gone, but its painfully expensive. Again, how does this make sense? Just let me cut down a tree! lol. ....May not be possible without GECK, I don't know, but would be a killer mod.
