[Fixed - persists in 3.52] Woodsman won't cut it!

[Tom H]

I have a woodman companion, whom I've hired before, who says 'he'll fell some trees when he has the proper equipment and some proper trees'. He has a hand axe and I've given him a woodsman's axe, and there are a lot of loggable trees, not small ones.

2nd, though it may have been fixed in the latest patch- I hunted and killed an elk calf.  It weighed 350 pounds, had a 3 pound skin and 3 pounds of fat!

It might be that the patch doesn't apply tho those animals generated in the previous version.

I have another Companion refusing to fell trees, this time on my Steam game. He has a woodsman's ax and there are a lot of full-sized trees.

 Try telling him to cut some trees, OR ELSE. jk
Or am I?

lol... If this continues, I'll have to do all the clearing alone. That will suck.

Tom H, send or link a savegame with those companion who refuse to fell trees and I'll check.

It seems companions are a bit too afraid of bear skull pines and won't fell any trees if there's bear skull pine even relatively close by.
As a workaround you can take the bear skull(s) off the trees here at your homestead and bring them somewhere way further away.
Or then you just have to rely on companions tree felling assistance further away from the bear skulls.

Wow! I like that twist. Afraid to commit sacrilege! Thanks, Sami
