Saw (GregTech 6)

The Saw is a tool added by GregTech 6. It is used to craft items (Planks and Sticks in particular) and to harvest non-log wooden blocks and Ice.

Recipe
The Saw is made from a Saw Blade and a stick of the blade's tool rod material. For a list of tool materials, see Material Traits.

Usage
By default, GregTech 6 reduces the yield from shapelessly crafting Wood into Wood Planks from 4 Planks down to 2. The Saw undoes that; when Wood is crafted with a Saw, it yields 4 Planks; when 2 Planks are crafted with a Saw, they yield 4 Sticks. The Saw is also required to craft Slabs before the player has a Sawmill. Importantly, the Saw is also used as an early way of acquiring Bolts, which are then used to make Screws.

The Saw is faster to break blocks but is slower to cut logs compared to an axe.

Using the Saw for crafting will consume 200 durability, while using it to break blocks will consume (50 * Hardness) durability.

If the GregTech 'WoodNeedsSawForPlanks' configuration is disabled, using a Saw will increase Plank and Stick yields from 4 to 5.
