CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Chainsaw acquisition

Use the Chainsaw recipe at an Equipment Workshop. Bring Biofuel to operate it after crafting.

The Chainsaw is handheld equipment for clearing dense flora that is difficult to remove by hand. Craft it manually at the Equipment Workshop from Reinforced Iron Plates, Iron Rods, Screws, and Cable. Each Chainsaw requires 5 Reinforced Iron Plates, 25 Iron Rods, 160 Screws, and 15 Cable. The largest stack is Screws, so prepare that quantity along with the other parts before using the Workshop. Biofuel is the Chainsaw’s operating fuel.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

  • Unlock the Chainsaw recipe.
  • For one Chainsaw: 5 Reinforced Iron Plates, 25 Iron Rods, 160 Screws, and 15 Cable.
  • Biofuel for operation.
  1. Gather or produce 5 Reinforced Iron Plates.
  2. Prepare 25 Iron Rods and 160 Screws; check the Screw stack before leaving your factory.
  3. Make or collect 15 Cable.
  4. Open an Equipment Workshop and select Chainsaw.
  5. Craft one Chainsaw and equip it.
  6. Load Biofuel before using the Chainsaw to clear difficult flora.

Crafting tips

  • The recipe is manually crafted equipment; it does not run in an automated production machine.
  • Keep extra Biofuel in your inventory if you expect to continue clearing vegetation.

Repeat, collect and use

Craft another Chainsaw when you need a replacement or another unit, and replenish Biofuel as it is used.

Common mistakes

  • Do not search for a Chainsaw node; craft it at the Equipment Workshop.
  • Do not head out to use it without Biofuel, its listed fuel.

When to stop or switch

Stop crafting when you have the equipment needed for the clearing task; stop using it when the task is done or Biofuel runs out.
