Let’s discuss fuel, because this may be more relevant with the auto-crafter coming.
I’m team charcoal, specifically giant jungle trees. Does everything regular coal does except coal blocks, need a lot of charcoal and sticks anyway for torches and tools, giant trees consistently produce over a stack, and lumberjacking is just a relaxing way to pass the time.
Considering giant trees, I’m wondering how anyone could run low on logs. They’re consistently well over a stack, and I can’t imagine going through so much daily unless you’re bridging with wood instead of your infinite cobble.
After 1 tree, a stack for the machine, the rest for me. And I climb the vines and chop straight down, because why not.
