The picture is the best part about this mod

@opaxite no, it won't because the functions this mod patches are specific to chopping. I think the vehicle/tree collision code is in java so cant be fixed by a Lua mods. Report the issue on the bug report forums.

@Nephente: In the latest build, bushes no longer slow down vehicles, but they break with a sound. This causes stress accumulation and driving down a dirt road means you’re a nervous wreck at the end of it.

Does this mod solve the issue? If not, would you consider solving it please?

I'm around loggers, can say loggers are not panicing. However logging is scary the cool factor is usually equal to the scary factor so it balances out. Subbed.

@eight thanks, working on the description was the most fun part of the mod even if I lost several hours listening to old Monty Python skits.

42.8.0: The stress removal part of this mod is no longer required, but the optional increased damage when chopping down trees is still useful. Keep the mod if you use that feature, but if you just wanted the stress fix you can unsubscribe.

42.8.0: "Fixed characters getting stressed from chopping trees."

I *LOVE* the mod's icon and the description. Sang a little song, just reading it. :D
Arnold Schwarzenigg 17 May @ 11:06am 
Is this mod still relevant?
Nepenthe  [author] 23 Apr @ 8:02am 
B42 only, because it was written to fix a bug in B42.
. 23 Apr @ 6:19am 
Not either. Is it a mod for B42 only?
Nepenthe  [author] 23 Apr @ 6:03am 
@. What about the sandbox menu from within the game? I've never tested manually editing the .lua that stores the variables.
. 23 Apr @ 4:30am 
I don't see the options in server_SandboxVars.lua, any idea?
Venrag 17 Apr @ 5:14am 
i guess chopping a tree, without proper knowledge is dangerous and that could be stressful
NuggetKing 16 Apr @ 2:10pm 
ON Wednesdays i go shoping for tea and scones
RivviN 16 Apr @ 11:17am 
why tf would people panic from cutting trees anyways

@Vay Ah yes, the game is in unstable, bugs left and right and the first thing you think when you see this is taht the devs are bad at balance/insane/whatever instead of assuming its just anohter bug? *sighs* Go play b41 if you dont want these... If you you dont like the balance, feel free to change the options or you know, WAIT FOR B42 to be out of unstable. The devs warned that balance will be a ongoing work, that bugs will be plenty and all that...
Nepenthe  [author] 15 Apr @ 8:23am 
@Vay this one was a bug; on the bug report forums it was confirmed this will be fixed in a future update.
Vay 15 Apr @ 4:09am 
LOL description
These insane changes got pulled out from the ass of the balance department
Seriously the serve nothing but to make the game more "HARDCORE"
yeah man i dont want to get stressed pulling out grass from the ground, I also find it weird that out of 50 houses in Kentucky only 1 has a lumber axe
NuggetKing 14 Apr @ 6:44pm 
I sleep all night and i work all day
Nepenthe  [author] 14 Apr @ 6:26pm 
@z0ntir Is that a modded 4x4 that takes out trees?
NuggetKing 14 Apr @ 12:31pm 
I'm A lumberjack and thats okay
z0ntir 14 Apr @ 9:44am 
Does this stress also occur when small trees are knocked down by cars? Because I have a 4x4 that knocks down small trees and gets very stressed when this happens. Could this mod help me with that?

god tier Monty Python reference. Ma man!

@Amereth Especially on the city streets. In a park. Yes. :deaths:
Amereth 12 Apr @ 1:45pm 
Go chop tree surrounded by hungry wolves, pretty sure you will have a similar experience to the one you would get chopping tree surrounded by zombie.

Stress seem logical...
LosCartuchos5566 12 Apr @ 12:57pm 
im a cocaine plant and lumberjacks LOVE me even if im not a tree, weird
Goatroach 12 Apr @ 2:35am 
Now just imagine if we could use chainsaws. Very noisy. Does not cause panic unless chainsaw is directed at you, lol!
Best work day of my life was 16 hours of felling trees and then chopping them into firewood, with just a 10 minute break to eat a sandwich and drink some Gatorade. Afterwards, I craved meaty lasagna like you wouldn't believe. Did not get stressed, until the waiter said they were out of lasagna. :yun: "Y u haz no lasagna?"

i'm a marijuana plant
kiachaelchild 11 Apr @ 7:51pm 
im a transvestite
Killa Klappa 11 Apr @ 4:22pm 
im a lumberjack, and i can confirm that only 4 of my lumberjack friends are transvestites

@player it is annoying, but it does make some sense: you are in a zombie apocalypse, and cutting down trees is loud and may attract zombies
NotaguycalledJerry 10 Apr @ 10:56pm 
Bruh this mod makes me wanna sleep all night and work all day:steamhappy:
Nepenthe  [author] 10 Apr @ 10:30pm 
@Vegent not easily via mod, but feedback on the bug report forums is this will be fixed and removing the "stresses human" flag also stops the noise stressing animals.
Vengent 10 Apr @ 9:34pm 
any chance of not freaking out animals from chopping down trees too?
Dr. Quackers M.D. 10 Apr @ 4:02pm 
@Anon it the everything is fine meme but with a brutal car crash
Sullied 10 Apr @ 3:56pm 
I actually chop down my own firewood for heat and I can confirm it does not stress me out.
AnomNom 10 Apr @ 3:32pm 
bro is ramming his car into trees repeatedly and wondering why his character is upset about this
player 10 Apr @ 2:46pm 
Shit like this doesn't make any sense. Why am I suddenly stressed out because I'm chopping down a tree? Hopefully, the developers will remove this from 42.
SSteve 10 Apr @ 1:30pm 
stress is probably increasing because you are hitting trees with your car!
GEKA 10 Apr @ 1:01pm 
when i drive a car and hit trees, stress increase
at this moment mod dont work, at other moments it fine
Snek 10 Apr @ 12:02pm 
I was employed by the USDA Forestry Service, I cut trees down, was the happiest time of my life. Confirm for no sad from chopping trees.
Dr. Quackers M.D. 10 Apr @ 9:35am 
what movie is that!!!!
Humanbug 10 Apr @ 8:11am 
When I chop wood, I get scared if I somehow hit my leg or smt. Thank you for this cheat mod
D.K 10 Apr @ 2:49am 
This game is genuinly shit sometimes, why the fuck does a lumberjack get stress from chopping down a tree:steamfacepalm:
Sakamoto 9 Apr @ 10:00pm 
I can confirm i was cut down tree and i'm completely fine !
Nepenthe  [author] 9 Apr @ 7:52pm 
@TiMonke Only a few of them, based on historical correspondence from Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong (Mrs.)
