Each row is one full target, with the bonus the last hit adds. Gathering teas add to it. Hits assume you never hit the bonus marker. The Chainsaw wastes part of every hit on animals, so it gets less than the full amount there and those counts are averages. Compare every tool.

Fuel
Runs on Low Grade Fuel. Burns 0.25/s (about 15 a minute) while cutting, plus a small idle burn whenever the engine runs.

Methodology

Tested in game: we gave the Chainsaw to a player on our own server and used it on the first three trees and every animal in the table above until it was empty, three times each, and counted the hits, the wear and every item it handed out. Time is the hits times the swing time. The other trees are worked out the same way from the health and wood we read from each tree on our server. Tested on the current version of Rust.

Every swing of the Chainsaw counts as a bonus hit on trees: damage climbs from ×1.13 to ×1.67 over the first swings.

A hit of the Chainsaw is worth less than one item on the smallest corpses, so it destroys the pile and gives nothing.
