Wood planks when you knock down walls with a sledgehammer?

[Majikthise]

Aren't you supposed to get wood planks when you knock down walls with a sledgehammer? I finally found my very first, and it breaks walls and furniture very nicely. But they just disappear. There are never any remnants from the breakage anywhere - not in my inventory or on the ground.

 

Next, aren't you supposed to be able to chop down trees with a melee weapon? I've read in several threads you are supposed to get a "thunk" as if you're hitting with an axe, but my guy just swings at the air. I can't right click on trees either (I read somewhere to right click and there would be a chop menu, but no such thing appears for me).

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

P.S. I've never even seen an axe in any of my playthrough's, but I've only been playing since 31.

You Can find axes easly in a certain hardware store in west point next to the small market in the row of buildings

You should be able to hit trees with other melees maby it can be a bit hard sometimes though keep trying (also it takes like 200 hits to destroy a tree with other wepons )

Also atm destroying stuff with a sledge gives nothing back sorry

Thank you! I'll try that.

Tips: If you need an axe but can't find one, forage in the woods until you find a sharp rock. You can craft a shit axe eith it.

You need to rightclick the tile the tree is on, not the tree itself.

I'm going to go try that right now!

Also if you want to risk it, when you create a character, add the lucky trait and you'll find that zombies will be more likely to spawn with an axe (Though this is based on luck in real life still, it just increases the chance of it spawning) Otherwise you can check warehouses and such.

 

Also when it comes to the sledgehammer, when you destroy objects with it, it pretty much just deletes them. I don't know if this will change but you're best hope is when the new furniture movement system comes in the next few updates.
