📋 About This Mod

###

Sturdy Trees reworks the entire wood-processing loop into a slower, more deliberate, Better Than Wolves–style progression.

####

Logs feel heavier, stumps matter, and early-game crafting is grounded in physical actions instead of instant vanilla recipes.

##

🌳 Core Gameplay Changes

### 🪵 Wood Processing + You no longer get planks or sticks from vanilla recipes. You must craft logs with an axe to break them down. + Processing logs can yield bark and sawdust as extra materials. + Slabs → Planks crafting is restored for all wood types.

### 🌲 Trees & Stumps + Cutting down a tree leaves a stump. Stumps need proper tools to remove. + Saplings now grow in stages. + Stumps can be converted into crafting tables using chisels from the Tough Environment mod. + Sapling are no longer bonemeal-able to grow instantly (configurable) + Logs & Stumps can turn into smouldering variants after being set on fire & generate ash + Leaves are passable-through & generate ash when they burn out
