About this mod
My personal take on dynamic woodcutting and stone collection from trees and rocks in the world. Super light weight, performance friendly mod with a single focus

This is my personal take on a common idea, using any woodcutters axe or pickaxe on trees and rocks respectively, to mine materials like firewood and quarried stone. Of course there are a hand full of other mods on the nexus that do this and MUCH more, but I was looking for something that fit my play-style a bit closer. Take a simple idea and concentrate on doing that one thing very well, with a strong focus on performance, and no permanent changes to the save file or landscape. If you are looking for something more robust, I highly suggest the original woodcutter mod (which is really amazing and packed with features like almost bringing FO4's build system to Skyrim) or Dynamic things which is also fantastic!! and I really enjoyed before deciding to make my own stripped down performance friendly mod from scratch.
This mod does 3 things
- Hitting Trees, woodpiles and rocks in the world with any standard woodcutters axe, or pickaxe respectively (does not require any special new versions), will give you firewood and quarried stone after a few hits (random number). If you have campfire installed you will receive, deadwood, kindling and branches as well.
- Uses configurable Shaders to easily highlight the objects in the world that you can mine materials from. Color can be changed and shaders can be turned off altogether if you like in the MCM. You can configure how many resources you will receive in the MCM
- Refrains from running scripts in your game all the time, or swapping out any objects in the game world with new references, instead choosing a method where the script only runs temporarily when you draw your axe, and doesn't add anything new in game whatsoever, so no possibility of save bloat or slowdown etc. It also does not permanently alter Skyrims landscape which is common in similar mods (This was a deal breaker for me)
That's pretty much it. I am playing with a more and more stripped down mod configuration all the time in favor of performance and simplicity, and have been releasing a series of quality of life and immersion mods that best suit my style of play. I know there is arguably better options, but more options never hurts! I hope others may find use for it :)
