It's nice, pretty useful to have, if you can't find an axe you can just cut a tree get the branch and make an axe, though the one downside is that the game prioritize to use saw for woodcutting over axes.

@Scroobles McDoodle
Btw you can create the mod yourself by copying the
item Axe {...} from steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/projectzomboid/media/scripts/items_weapons.txt
Into your own mod directory
To make the axe usable as saw add Saw; to the Tags like this:
Tags = Saw;ChopTree;CutPlant,

With the next update all mods will stop working so creating new mods now is not very high on my priority list.

Can you make a companion mod which saws logs with an axe, but uses the regular saw animation?

@zar Saws in player inventories and on the floor are gone, not sure about zombie inventories that haven't been seen by a player yet

what about saws on the floor and in inventory? (im assuming so because they are technically in containers)

just wanted to tell you that every container i didnt search was fine, i drove to the nearest town house and found one in the garage

@Fluffy Star Cat The garden saw works.
Saws added by other mods won't have the tree cutting ability (but should work normally otherwise)

@HenryWestwood All saws in all containers of the map that you already explored (not sure if containers you didn't open are safe).
The mod support of this game is really bad, things break all the time :(

so if i accidently used the saw mod while already having an existing game, in which radius are all saws gone?

oh I see Its written in the FAQ xD

@gregoritto The mod is working for me, did you start a new game when you enabled this mod?
If not please read the FAQ.

not working my saw disappeared

this mod is a nice concept , it would be nice if they add a saw for two people, drop it on the ground and open it with an iron stake.

@Deniss_
Felling a tree with a crosscut saw is usually a two man job, apparently they are still used today.
But this is a game, the trees are all tiny (no tree is bigger than a 2 floor building.
Cutting a tree in PZ takes only a few seconds and can be done while holding the axe in one hand.

this mod is kinda funny. all year I always cut down trees with axes to store wood for the winter . I have never used a saw to cut directly from the tree.
