Planks and more believability (i hope i wrote that correctly )

[yubyub96 68]

So i have seen what people thought about planks and it seems like most of us had the same expectations, we thought they were going to be like real planks not sticks.

Part of my suggestion here is to make the planks be wider, 4x1 the equivalent of one plank in the textures, this will make things more believable and easier to be used (not easier like pussy easier,normal easier) you will actually prefer to use those planks instead of the whole wood block.

Another thing that bothers me about planks and how you get them, is whit the axe.You have a big axe to chop down trees and you want to use it to get perfect wooden planks o_O WTF

I suggest that we make a new type of plank, it will be a quarter of a log, because you cant get perfect planks with an axe, less with an stone axe.This will also make getting a saw a bigger priority. and for the aesthetics make a wall with small logs.

I think the use of the axe to make planks is to replicate using wedges and adzes before large saws became available. As to your main point, I also thought we'd get the ability to place planks and was looking forward to framing buildings with pit props, I can still do that though, just not so quickly.

I really need to install the build now just to test this out. What am I hoping to see is that you will be able to split wood by placing down a log (without shift-clicking) and break it. That way you get two seperate logs for wood.
