Expanded Logging!

Expanded logging is an expansion of Vintage Story's logging and woodworking mechanic.
Gone are the days where you can deforest an entire area with just an axe and your backpack!

Now, managing your timber needs will take infastructure, planning and time!
Inspired by Stone Quarry, Butchery and In Dappled Groves!

Cut down trees to get Trunks.  These new blocks are similar to Stone Quarry's slabs, and store all the logs from a cut down tree in them, requiring a Bag slot to be carried (Can be configured). First you'll need to debark them, then you can either process them directly on the ground for 50% of vanilla's usual returns, or you can carry them back to a Sawhorse or Splitting log to process them into Logs, Planks, Firewood or Beams.  Trunks can be stored in Carts from Cartwright Caravan, or in the new Trunk Storage Rack, which is a dynamic storage block that can hold up to 4 trunks, and properly displays the texture of whats stored!  These Racks can also go in the Carts, allowing for you transport ability to ramp up with your Tech Progress!  Use the new Stick Storage to store all those sticks you'll get from Debranching your logs!

Process your trunks over four tiers of Workstations, starting with the Primitive Sawhorse and Splitting block. This tier will net you a 1:1 return on Logs, but only a 1:9 return on planks, about 75% of Vanilla. The Splitting Log will return 1:4 for firewood and 1:2 for support beams! Extract Resin from Pine and Acacia trunks with the new Trunk Heating Rack!

Once you enter the Copper/Bronze ages, you can build the regular Sawhorse! This Sawhorse will give you 1:1 returns on your processing, same as vanilla

In the Iron Age comes the Advanced Sawhorse and the Advanced Splitting block, which will give you greater return, about 50% more than vanilla!
All workstations and Storage is built in world! No need to open your crafting grid, just check your handbook for crafting mechanics!

If you're unsure how to build the Workstations, each one uses groundstorage to get started!
Check the Handbook for the new Logging Expanded entry!

Changelog (Completed — 0.3.6)

Roadmap:
Resin Extraction - Completed!

Seperation of Mods. 
Will be splitting the Trunk and Workstations into their own Seperate Mods. 
This is to assist with better compatability as well as allow easier troubleshoot and improvement in the future.
This will also facility the next update, which will be another standalone mod, the Automation update.

Automation and Animation update
- Add automated variants of each workstation - Sawmill (Planks, Beams), Helve Axe (Logs, Firewood), AutoDebarker (Name pending)
- Add interaction animations and block animations, so you can be more immersed.

Wildcraft and Other tree mods compat

Carpentry Addon
- In Game carving system based on Knapping
- Wood turning using foot and mechanical powdered Laithes.
- Toolsmith and Combat Overhaul handle integration.

Config

Want something still Immersive but a little less hardcore?
Check out Immersive Woodworking by Bobrik00! Has a similar vibe with immersive in-world building and processing trees without the trunks!
And a gorgeous sawmill to boot!

Compatibilties:
VS Lumber 
xSkills - With the xSkills - Logging Expanded compat addon.
Immersive Woodworking - Works along side but has significant Overlap.  Trunks from Logging Expanded cannot go into Immersive Woodworking Workstations
Wildcraft Trees - Partial Compat. Textures and normal tree's work. Narrow Trees, Stumps and other mechanics not yet done
WildfarmingFork - Changed entityclass to avoid conflict with WildfarmingFork Tree Trunks. Should work as expected now
Tool Animations Fork. - Need to turn off the config option for the axe to split logs into firewood, otherwise you won't be able to make a Splitting Log

Incompatibilities:
Salty's Falling Trees - Overrides the falling physics and does not despawn leaves. Compat coming soon!
In Dappled Groves - Right clicking on Log creates Splitting Log, overriding IDG's mechanic for debarking. 
Dolbra - Doesnt detect it as an axe

AI Statement:
AI was used in the creation of this mod. I am a very new coder, and I learn by doing, but I also know that if I don't see tangible results, I quickly lose motivation to work.  I have used AI not to completely write the code, but to help me identify what to write, and trouble shoot errors as they come up, as well as to teach me what various code means and why.  My intention is to completely learn by doing until I am able to write my own code entirely. Once I am able, I will return and rewrite all my code so it is entirely mine
