Chopping Block

The Manual Chopping Block is one of the first blocks that you will use in SevTech, as it will allow you to create planks from logs and sticks from planks. It is available from the beginning of the Tutorial Age.

Crafting
It is crafted by placing one log into your crafting grid, then taking the result. Simple!

Usage
Simply place a log into your hotbar, then right-click while holding it in your hand (or your off-hand for maximum efficiency), then chop four (4) times with any axe. You will receive planks as a result. If you want sticks, put a plank on the chopping block and chop four times.

Variation
There also exists the chopping block from the Horse Power mod, which is called the Horse Chopping Block (surprise, surprise). It does all of the same stuff as a manual chopping block, but you can hook a horse up to it with a lead, making sure that the block is at least 2 blocks above the ground and that it is placed in the middle of a 7x7 clear area. Then, simply place the blocks you want chopped into the chopping block and the horse will do all the work for you.

This can be automated easily by placing hoppers directly above and below the horse chopping block, to feed items into the block and take the products out of it.
