New article: Chainsaw logging tool guide with unlock requirements, stamina skill integration, and wood gathering efficiency
The Chainsaw is an advanced logging tool in Starsand Island that replaces standard axes for tree chopping and wood gathering. Like the Electric Drill, it is a Senior Crafter unlock that dramatically speeds up resource gathering. The Chainsaw Blueprint is purchased from Zerine's General Store after reaching Senior Crafter certification.
Complete the Senior Crafter trial quests from Zerine. The Chainsaw Blueprint becomes available alongside the Electric Drill Blueprint at the General Store. Both are key Senior Crafter purchases.
The Chainsaw chops trees faster than any axe tier. Use it on trees across the island surface and in the Moonlit Forest to gather Softwood, Hardwood, and Premium Wood much more quickly. The Chainsaw consumes stamina per use. Its high speed means you clear trees faster but also drain stamina quicker per time period compared to slower axes.
The March 6, 2026 patch (v0.3.2537) added stamina recovery-related skill effects to the Chainsaw, matching the same improvement given to the Electric Drill. Profession skills from the Explorer skill tree now partially recover stamina during Chainsaw use. This makes extended logging sessions much more sustainable, especially when clearing large areas for land expansion or gathering Hardwood in bulk.
Wood | Source | Uses |
|---|---|---|
Softwood | Common trees (island surface, early Moonlit Forest) | Basic crafting, planks, early-game tools and furniture |
Hardwood | Hardwood trees (deeper areas, Moonlit Forest mid-zones) | Advanced crafting, Hardwood Planks, mid-game equipment |
Premium Wood | Rare trees (late-game areas) | High-tier furniture and specialty crafting |
Tool | Speed | Unlock |
|---|---|---|
Basic Axe | Slow | Starting tool |
Upgraded Axes | Moderate | Apprentice/Junior Crafter |
Chainsaw | Very fast | Senior Crafter |
Buy both the Chainsaw and Electric Drill blueprints when you reach Senior Crafter. They are the two most impactful tool upgrades at that tier.
Invest in Explorer profession skills for the stamina recovery synergy. It makes extended logging sessions sustainable.
The Chainsaw is excellent for clearing land quickly. If you are expanding your farm into a new area, the Chainsaw saves significant time cutting down trees.
Pair manual Chainsaw use with Logging Robots for a hybrid approach: robots handle background logging while you chainsaw priority trees.
Hardwood and Premium Wood are in high demand for late-game blueprints. Use the Chainsaw to build up reserves early.
