A Game About Chopping Trees
Latest A Game About Chopping Trees launch verdicts, update notes, co-op fixes, and returning-player advice.
The September content update adds a new island, three groves, deeper furnace progression, and Casual mode, but the developer recommends a fresh save.
A Game About Chopping Trees’ September update nearly doubles the explorable space with Bamboo, Tropic, and Highlands groves, adds a new furnace progression chain, and introduces Casual mode. The developer recommends starting a new save to avoid post-update save issues; a follow-up hotfix addressed older-save upgrades and co-op planting costs.
Is now a good time to return?
Yes if you wanted a larger island and a longer progression loop. Plan around the fresh-save recommendation, and remember that Hardcore is still labeled beta and work in progress.
What should you check first?
Review the three-furnace unlock path and decide whether to start over before investing more time in an older save. The September 11 follow-up fixes several save and co-op issues, but no hands-on verification is available here.
Start with the newest verdict.
