    In the past I was using the BAT and BUG mods, and currently the latest BUFFY.

    Somehwere along the way I lost the "Prechop forests" and "Prechop improvements" functionality. :(

    Which mod provides these?

    I think the prechop option is part of BULL which is included in BAT and BUFFY. You need to add it to BUG. Check your BUG options in any of these mods as there is a place to check the feature on and off, so somehow it may have been deselected.

    Wait, there's a pre-chop function in BUG? I've just been pressing backspace to clear the worker's queued order, and jumped back to that idle worked next turn by pressing enter.

    Here you go:

    Spoiler :



    I'm pretty sure that this is a feature of BULL, which I have combined with BUG. BULL is included in BAT/BUFFY and prechops should be the default.

    "Prechop Improvements" option is basically the same thing but stops the worker 1 turn before completing an improvement that will clear a forest.

    So you are using BUFFY. It should work by default. You could try clearing your cache. Hold the shift key down when loading BTS and see if it works.

    Also, make sure you don't have single player BUG installed in custom assets if running BUFFY. They can conflict, although I think the newer BUGs don't.

    On thought though - just curious - you say the option is check, but is it gray out or active?

    That option is definitely part of BULL. I am on a Mac, so I can't use BULL since it has a DLL. I use BUG and that option is greyed out.

    Well, reinstalled BtS, patched to 3.19, then added BUFFY 3.19.
    To no avail. :cry:

    shpeka - here's a link to the BUG forum. They might be able to figure out the problem. It could be an assets problem. Try to find there assets checker tool.

    pre-chop is a BULL feature. You need BAT, BUFFY to use it (or any other mod that includes the right version of BULL). You can have it with BUG but you have to replace the default dll (Note: you will not be able to run mp games if you do that).

    We'll see. I might revert to BAT and see if this works. It is not too troubling ATM, since I am left with a bunch of forests in my last game. Either I am getting the hang of this game, or my BUFFY is buggy enough to drop the difficulty level. :lol:
