Can anyone think of a way to remove shrubs? I holed up in a mansion slightly off a road, and want to make a sort of driveway to the road to save me the hassle of weaving my big ass truck through shrubs. I’ve read that you can set them on fire somehow, but my lighter does nothing. Can’t dig a pit and fill it like rubble. Can’t chop em down like a tree. Do they even damage your car?
edit:Okay apparently you can just smash them to bits. Should I delete this thread?
[font=georgia]USE MOLOTOVS, or a flamethrower! Thatll lean 'em!;D But seriously, if they werent that close to the mansion that itll catch it on fire, id go for the fire rout[/font]
I smash them down with an axe when clearing impromptu roadways, which is quick and effective. Failing that, cut a heavy stick into bits with your pocket knife, drop a single skewer on the shrub, and set it on fire. Also makes for a serviceable and long-lasting campfire, if you can stand the smoke.
you can burn the shrubs in a fire. makes a 3x3 fire. i tend to dot hat so my fires don’t go out. i do get some issues with smoke, but crafting stops and i can move.
To be honest I hate having to keep running around for splintered wood for cooking the endless supplies of meat I’ve butchered. Setting fire to a shrub gives you a nice long fire.
Well i’ll have to try that after the bears stop stalking my FEMA camp…theyre everywhere. I find lots of rabbits and deer get caught and die in my barbed wire.
