Wood Chopping to Max Carry Weight
WCMCW
Purpose:
To increase the quantity of firewood received during the wood chopping event. Allow followers to partake in the modifications.
Flavors:
Max Carry Weight
-- Calculations allow player to keep chopping wood till just before their max carry weight would be surpassed
Random Six To Max
-- Each chopping event picks a new stopping point. Anywhere between the default 6 received wood or the calculated amount not exceeding current max carry weight.
Stamina Driven
-- At a stamina cost of 70 per swing, you'll either stop when you don't have enough stamina or when the calculated amount to not exceed max carry weight has been reached.
On Screen Feedback:
For all flavors
-- Instead of the default "Firewood (2) Added" you will see "Firewood status: X of Y" which is a running tally of how many you have gained out of the calculated possible total.
For the stamina Driven
-- Because the animation sequence could not be stopped, the swing takes place, the stamina is drained and you are informed that you did not have enough stamina and the swing was imperfect resulting in unusable firewood.
-- The calculated possible total when failure happens is converted into the current count so that your last display of "Firewood Status: X of Y" equals in value.
SKSE Friendly:
If SKSE is installed, the actual weight of the firewood is used rather than a defined value equivalent to the stock value of 5.
Tips:
-- The follower command interface (press and hold the activate button - E by default) can be a little tricky. I found it best to tell them to chop wood then wait for them to start before tabbing out of follower command mode. Otherwise they tended not to chop anything.
Upgrading or Switching Flavors:
-- Uninstall previous version
-- Install new version
