    Chopping trees is a chore. Devs removed farming because it was too boring so I dont see why the even more boring task of chopping trees cannot be automatized.

    Tree farms are cool though, so maybe we could come up with a way to make them automatic? So that you dont even have to go chop the tree.

    Lets focus on the fun parts of the game: building and fighting.
     
  2. you have supply crates with wood dropping at your halls every 8 minutes and in ctf you will have even faster resupply system. but it would be cool if you could build some complex structures involving saws, drills and trampolines that automate wood gathering.

    As a further note, from Classic, the issue was that trees were too easy to destroy, and have no more wood on the map anymore, even if harvesting wood was simpler.
    It was either "Have a lot of trees and therefore wood, but no room to build" or "have some trees, and have issues with wood and not running out of trees, but have room to build".

    So you are pretty much out of luck, even if you consider reverting trees.
     
  4. i was thinking of combining this:

    with this:

    and creating a mod, in which you can do this:

    that is, hanging a rope over the tree and attaching it to drill, so when the tree grows high enough, it pulls the rope and activates the drill. the tree is cut down, seed falls in the same place and regrows, logs are transported via trampolines to automated sawmill, and then planks are chuted into hall

    It would actually kind of make sense if building supplies came from a workshop just like arrows and bombs, but gathering resources is a pretty core game mechanic to abandon at this point.
