FDR Logging mod pack V10.0.0
In the 10.0 update every single tree type on the FDR Maps has new custom specific weights and physics applied, The issue I have always seen is that the heavier trees act realistically but when the same weight value is applied to all the smaller thin trees they tend to act very “floaty” and light like a feather, they don’t pack/settle into the bunks well while loading like they do in real life. The small pieces sometimes also seemed to defy gravity and generally do weird glitchy things.
But now with these new changes I have made, every single piece of wood big or small has decent mass and feels like your actually lifting real logs. You’ll find that the loading of smaller thin logs and medium logs is very satisfying as the weight of them packs and settles so much nicer.
I am very exciting for you guys to try it out!
