Woodcutting Skill [B42]

Description
This is a B42 version of CHampy's Woodcutting skill. I have updated the mod to work with B42, added the missing text description for the woodcutter perk, and the missing tooltip from the woodcutting skill under survival skills. Other than that, this is all Champy's original work.

That said:

This mod adds a Woodcutting skill that makes chopping trees and removing bushes easier and more efficient.
At level 0, nothing changes from vanilla. The skill is all upsides.

(Tree-lopping benefits:

*Less endurance used (-7 % per level)
*Less calories used ( -12% calories modifier every 3 levels)
*Less chance to lose axe condition (+1 every level)
*A flat axe tree damage increase (+2 per level) (good for bad axes like the stone axe. Barely noticeable on good axes like the wood axe.)
*A rare chance of extra items dropping from medium and large trees
*Makes removing bushes faster and easier (-7% endurance used/level and +10% action speed/level when removing bushes)
*If you reach Woodcutting level 8, you can no longer get "Excessive Exertion" from chopping trees. You will still get "High Exertion" but it can't worsen to "Excessive Exertion" from chopping trees.

Trait Changes

This mod adds a Woodcutter trait that gives +1 Woodcutting for 2 points.
Other than that, the following are buffed :
Lumberjack occupation: +3 woodcutting
Park Ranger occupation: +2 woodcutting
Farmer occupation: +1 woodcutting
Gardener trait : +1 woodcutting

Mod appears to be working fine for B42 with these minimal changes. Please let me know if you find any issues. Thanks.

Please note: If you have having an issue with XP, you may be running a mod or have settings that disable it. Please refer to this patch mod by catgirltoofies first to see if that fixes it.

@Loccatpowersdog - It should work without issue, but iunno for sure regarding character traits, never tried adding mid-save myself.

Could this be added mid-save? My current Player Character has Gardener, would she gain +1 woodcutting & start to be able to level or is this a new character/save type of deal?

Makes sense. As long as it's on the radar to fix, I can completely understand not trying to polish anything too much before stable is released.

@MrHrulgin - Skills books in B42 have been weird with each update. I've had the aame issue, and others with just vanilla books before now - from whole bookshelves being empty, to others filled with skill magazines, but no books, and so on.

We'll just have to put up with it until they release a stable, and books can be properly weighted without another patch sending them squiff again

The way that the skill books for Woodcutting are added to the loot tables might be a little off? Going through a school I found more than 4 complete sets of the books in lockers and no other skill books there. Either they're in loot tables where no other skill books are found, or they're so heavily weighted that they're overriding other skill books. Not sure which.

well that mod fix seemed to work thank you <3

@SadlyVoid - If you've added some new mods, or changed some settings there's a chance that one of them disabled the XP. Please try cartgirltoofie's patch posted in the comments below.

This mod was fine a couple days ago but now i get this one error and i dont gain any xp in the skill.

`Callframe at: se.krka.kahlua.integration.expose.MultiLuaJavaInvoker@e3580101
function: perform -- file: ISChopTreeAction.lua line # 217 | MOD: Woodcutting Skill 42
`

Ive tried to change the load order and uninstall/reinstall but nothing helped.

@Rusty #DopeRust - Please check the report, the recent should have fixed the issue. It's kinda a cheese fix, since I just commented out the offending lines, but at least it's working.

EDIT

This issue has now been fixed, and reinstated.

***********************

@稳中向好共富裕 - Please elaborate. Are you saying that B42.4.0 broke the mod? Kinda expected that to be honest, after reading through the changelog for the latest version.

EDIT 2 - I have rushed an update to fix this issue. NGL, it was a pain in the ass to go through the new code and add back all the functionality for Woodcutting Skill mod. Should be working fine now.

Incidentally the "can't cut trees when exhausted" thing is a new mechanic in B42.4.0. I don't like the way they implemented it, essentially if you are exhausted it flags chopping trees as a bugged action so it fails - kinda cheap..

@Champy, @Monkey Magic, firstly, thank you for updating the mod to the most recent build, have used in the past build, awesome work.

Secondly, i just made a bug report in here , when you can, please check it out, figure i should let you know here since you wont receive the notification because its a new thread.

Cheers.
