So I went and found your Old Post, and a fair amount of the old critism still stands. Although I no longer think that the additional mass of wood is that much of a deal (if anyone asks, these planks are hollow), and probably doesn't justify a change in size for planks, the main issue I see is that you don't need that many walls. There is no end-game item that you mass-produce wooden walls for. Stone walls, sure, but not wooden ones.

I will admit there are a select few who may need a lot of wooden walls. However, these people are likely what the rest of the community would call "Insane", and are therefore probably resource gathering for a big project to rankup. These people are subsequently nomadic, and can do the following:
 * Go to mainland.
 * Construct yourself a cart and a lumbermill.
 * Fireproof the base, wheels, and the seat of the cart, then burn the rest.
 * Place the lumbermill on the back of the cart, in such a way that only one of the walls is touching the cart, the rest is suspended.
 * Fireproof the aformentioned wall. Burn the rest.
 * Using your contraption, go to the centre mainland forest.
 * Reverse into everything.

This will produce a total of 48 walls for the tree of life alone, and something around 100 for the full forest. All the planks will be convieniently lying on the floor, ready for crafting, and there will be no issues with "Plank Explosions". All excess can be burnt. This process should take no longer than 10 minutes once you're at mainland, which'll take no longer than 3 from any spawnpoint.

Bearing this in mind, I'd say that this machine is really just a useless little gimmick that looks cool. But that second bit is why I'm ok with this. We added the smeltery on the sole basis that we thought the forge looked a little small. The bakery, at heart, is just a couple buildings merged into one crafting recipe. And really, the lumbermill needed this upgrade the most. The forge was ok; sure, it was small for it's importance, but it fits in with a stone village. The lumbermill looks a little off. As if you have a huge city with stone halls and custom statues, and there's this one hut with a mud well next to it. You need it, because planks are an important crafting material, but it's wooden, and with so many high end buildings you made to show off, the brown stain looks weird. The sawmill fixes this, and therefore I support it.
