  Chop logs from trees.

  Usage: chop <tree>, cut <tree>
         chop 1.oak, chop oak tree

  Woodcutting requires an axe, either wielded or in your inventory. Better axes
  have higher tool_speed, reducing the wait between swings. Axes can
  also be equipped as melee weapons.

  Regular trees deplete on first successful chop and respawn after a
  delay. Higher-tier trees (oak and above) use shared depletion: a
  despawn timer counts down while anyone chops. When it reaches 0, the
  next successful gather depletes the tree for all choppers. If no one
  is chopping, the timer regenerates back toward its maximum.

  All trees except regular trees have a 1/256 chance to drop a bird's
  nest alongside the logs. Use "search nest" to open a nest for loot.

  Use the "depletion" toggle to see timers on trees and rocks.
