Chopping and delivering firewood is a job in My Summer Car. The player will receive a phone call from Livaloinen asking to buy a load of firewood. You can fill the trailer with chopped firewood and deliver it to his house using the Kekmet for some extra money.you can use the firewood carrier to help with this.
Livaloinen will call the player after 4 hours and 10 minutes of real time has passed. Once the first load of firewood is delivered, he will order another load after 8 hours and 20 minutes of real time has passed. He will be waiting outside his house for the player from 6:00 to 22:00. The job cannot be completed when he isn't there or knocked out.
Chopping firewood[]
Grab the ax and activate it (F by default). Left click on the pile of wood to get a log on the chopping block. Swing the ax (RMB) at the log until it splits in half. The Axe needs to hit the log with it's head, thus requiring you to stand a good distance away from the chopping block. You may have to re-adjust your position for the logs to split consistently. Chopping logs while drunk is highly inadvisable as the player has a chance to accidentally hit themselves with the axe while swinging and die as a result. Throw the split pieces of firewood into the trailer. The chopping block must be completely clear to grab another log, and you cannot pick up un-chopped logs. If you are unable to chop logs via the chopping mechanic, a good trick is to phase the axe-head in the log and drop the axe.
It takes 160 pieces of firewood (80 logs) to completely fill the trailer, but you could deliver less than a full load at the cost of less payment, though that isn't recommended. The trailer is full when the pile of firewood inside won't visually grow anymore. Any firewood not loaded into the trailer will be removed upon reloading the game.
Delivering firewood[]
Drive to Livaloinen's house (marked on the map with a dart) with the trailer of firewood. Back the trailer onto the gravel area in front of his house and open the rear hatch. Increase the tractor's rpm using the hand throttle, then use the rear hydraulics lever to raise the trailer bed. You need to dump it on the green tarpaulin, otherwise it will just stay in trailer. After the trailer empties, the firewood guy will give you some cash, up to 3,200 mk for a full load. You can then lower the bed and drive away.
Unlike pumping sewage, you cannot complete this task at night. The firewood guy is absent until morning. Note that the wood is lost if dropped off while the firewood guy is absent.
If you run into Livaloinen, he will fall down unconscious and leave a free bottle of booze for your taking. If you accidentally knock him unconscious before dumping the firewood, you must wait until the next day to finish the job.
Trivia[]
- It takes about 17-20 minutes to chop the firewood and put it in the trailer, delivering the wood to him takes 10-12 minutes and 1-2 minutes to dump the wood out. Finally, getting back home also takes 10-12 minutes. In total the complete job takes 46 minutes (for the slowest players) or 38 minutes (for skilled players).
- Chopping wood is a great, quick and cheap stress reliever.
