The tree stump will appear when a tree is cut down. All axes and melee weapons can break tree stumps. The chainsaw is currently the best tool for breaking tree stumps. When a tree stump is destroyed, it cannot grow back without the use mods or possibly console commands, though the commands for doing so are currently unknown. If Tree Regrowing Mode is on, 10% of tree stumps will grow into trees every time the player sleeps. The trees that are chosen to be regrown are assigned at random. If you have built over a tree stump, it may regrow through your buildings. Attacking a tree stump from different angles will change the amount of hits needed to break it. Attacking from the top with a plane axe will take 11 hits to break. Attacking from the sides will take 6 hits to break with the plane axe. Strength affects the amount of hits needed to break a tree stump.

Known Bugs[]

  • Sometimes tree stumps will become indestructible. Logging out and reopening the game usually fixes this.
