Latest file for v1.19.8:
MechanicalWoodSplitter_1.0.1.zip 1-click install


Works just like a helve hammer except it's for the chopping block and not an anvil.

 

(I also removed the feature that causes all logs but the first to vanish when using a hopper for automatic input, I mean if you want this mod you're probably too lazy to manually put the logs on the chopping block anyway)

This is an addon for In Dappled Groves (which is the only mod dependency)

This is a feature I requested for IDG in the past. I'm glad someone actually made it! 

Now... if only we can find a way to mechanize debarking, so that making lots of support beams isn't as painful as it normally is.

TheInsanityGod - Hit me up on Discord.  Glad you put this together. :)  And it not working with chutes isn't a bug, it's a feature.  I preferred that it worked that way so when I got the bug report I never fixed it.

Linear Motion actually has a mechanical saw!

wojtek16, the only other mod you need is In Dappled Groves.

The blocks aren't actually being placed down, they are being input into a 'chopping block' (from 'In Dappled Groves'). The hopper/chute is just there to showcase that it works with hoppers, since In Dappled Groves has a bug where hoppers/chutes don't play nicely with the chopping block.

Love the mod idea, just wanted to make sure, do we need to install your other mod with the chutes for this to work? it looks like the blocks are dropped automatically no? If not thank you for the mod, is sick!

Hm, well mechanically spealing you'd probably get similar action from the pulverizer frame if you made the actual pounder arms into saws. 🙃

Honestly if you just took and removed the upper frame for the Pulverizer, kept the same latch mechanism and animations and just made the arms into saws you'd have a pretty decent sawmill! We'll ignore how the saws are drawn back down

I've been thinking about it, but it's probably going to take a while before I figure out a good way to do it. This one was quite simple since it's just a copy of the helve hammer remodeld to look like an axe (with a fake anvil interface for the chopping block)

Praise Armok! New mechanical devices?! Holy crap that's awesome!

Is there any plans for a Mechanical Saw as well? 😮
