Burn them in a fire. burn them in a kiln. Make log and sod walls. cut them into two by fours. Make ballista bolts (blazemod).

You could use your logs to build a palisade wall around your base, making it more secure. That’s not really needed, but a nice addition. Or you could cut your logs into two-by-fours, which are useful for crafting.

Near-infinite fire source with just one log and relighting it every time you need fire.

Another suggestion: arrange your logs in such a way that they spell out something cool or make up an image, then set them all on fire. Bonus points if you pretend to be Tyrolean while doing so.

It’s great for a snack, and fits on your back.  
It’s log, log, log.

_DISCLAIMER_ You cannot eat logs in this game (yet).

I still do that anyway, especially if there are fungal things around somewhere.

It’s in one of the weapons mods, I recall… you can make harpoons or ballista from logs.

I’m pretty sure we are in feature freeze right now (I don’t see any official info on that, though) so it will probably have to wait for 0.D.

No, we aren’t. [http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=14746.msg302417#msg302417](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=14746.msg302417#msg302417)

Check the status thread, if it doesn’t say we’re in feature freeze, we’re not, that’s the reason it’s there.[/quote]
