As you've seen on my blog here, [http://lumber-tycoon-2.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Legofries/Lava_Wood_Farming_Tips! Lava Wood Farming Tips!], I proved to you all that you can make up to 30k in just under an hour of easy-moderate work.

But, the question is: why is cavecrawler wood still being farmed?

I can see that it's a symbol of wealth and professionality, but let me just say one thing: it's not worth it.

All this is just my opinion. I'd like to hear from you guys.
 * Cavecrawler wood has almost everything against it. Price, difficulty, mastering/practice, and time taken.
 * Cavecrawler wood is more or less the same price as gold wood. You can farm multiple gold trees and just put it into your truck without effort: just drive the path you can visibly see and you could make as much money as cavecrawler in less time.
 * Lava wood is far by, in my opinion, the best way to make money. Thick and tall logs just make these things easy to manage on the truck, the sawmill and even to the dropoff. Even if lava wood makes less money, you make the money a lot faster and easier, comparing that to the time and effort you'd have to give to cavecrawler wood.
 * I'm not saying I'm against gold wood, but I'm saying that thicker logs are easier to manage. Would you chose huge planks over multiple tiny ones?
 * I understand that some people think lava wood is hard to farm, but it's easier to get used to than forcing yourself to memorize every single lane and path in the horrid maze just to farm it efficently. Gold wood on the other hand, just requires careful driving and knowledge.
 * I mean, there's only basically 5 rules you'll have to know about in lava wood farming to get everything done easily: check for boulders: if there are, wait 5 minutes; drop trailers; drive on the left hand side of the course; drop the trees; once down, criss-cross stack on the truck.
 * Comparing that to maze memorization: every single turn? I'm not saying that it's not good to farm cavecrawler wood, but what I'm saying is that there's easier ways to get lots of money, and even time saving ones.

(TL;DR: Why would you farm cavecrawler? It's not really worth it!)
