Usage

Chopping

Mechanical Saws are powered through rotational force, and when placed down facing to the side they will automatically chop down wood blocks in front of them. When chopping down a tree or giant mushroom, it will automatically destroy the entire tree by only destroying the bottom-most block. This also works with 2x2 trees as long as at least the last block (horizontally) is mined using the saw. Blocks tagged as TREE_ATTACHMENTS will also be broken if found on the tree.

Mechanical saws are automatically powered when on a create Contraption. The saw will damage entities and break blocks at a certain speed depending on the contraption's speed.

Sawing

When placed facing upward, the Saw applies sawing or stonecutting recipes. When a recipe has multiple outputs, an output will be randomly selected unless a filter is applied to the Filter slot located next to the saw blade.
