ESX Woodcutter Job - Immersive Forestry with Tree Falling Animations

Want to give your players a legitimate way to earn money that actually feels like work? The ESX Woodcutter Job transforms basic resource gathering into an immersive forestry experience with realistic tree-falling animations. This isn't just another press E to collect script—it's a fully animated job system that adds depth to your server's economy and gives new players a satisfying entry-level career. With 51+ servers using it, this forestry job has proven itself as a roleplay favorite.

What's Included

This custom woodcutter job for ESX delivers a complete forestry operation from start to finish. Players find designated trees, use their tools to chop them down with realistic falling animations, collect the harvested logs, transport them to the processing center, and sell their lumber for cash. The entire workflow is designed for roleplay immersion—you'll see trees actually fall when cut, logs pile up for collection, and players coordinate logging operations in forest zones.

The job includes predefined tree locations throughout the map, a processing system for raw logs, selling points with dynamic pricing, and progression mechanics that reward experienced loggers. Everything is configured for ESX society integration, so you can even run a player-owned logging company if your server supports business ownership.

Perfect For

• Roleplay Economy Servers - Adds a legitimate civilian career that feeds construction and crafting economies
• New Player Onboarding - Simple to learn but rewarding enough to keep players engaged

• Servers with Crafting Systems - Supplies raw materials for construction and furniture crafting scripts

How It Works

Players join the woodcutter job at the employment center, then head to one of the designated forest zones marked on their map. At the logging site, they approach marked trees and begin the chopping process. The tree-falling animation triggers when enough progress is made, and logs spawn at the base for collection. Players gather the logs, store them in their vehicle, and transport them to the sawmill for processing. After processing, they sell the finished lumber at the buyer location for payment directly to their bank account.

The entire workflow encourages teamwork—players can coordinate logging operations, with some chopping while others transport, creating organic roleplay scenarios at forest sites. The animations make the work feel tangible, and the multi-step process prevents the instant-gratification feeling that breaks immersion.

What Makes It Stand Out

The tree-falling animations are what separate this from basic gathering scripts. When players chop a tree, they see it fall—creating a visual reward that makes the work feel meaningful. This attention to detail transforms a simple money-making activity into a roleplay experience. Players gather at forest sites, coordinate logging operations, and transport lumber in convoys, creating emergent gameplay that passive farming scripts can't match.

With 51+ servers deployed, the woodcutter job has proven itself as a reliable entry-level career that keeps players engaged. It's not AFK-friendly like some farming scripts, which means players actually play the game instead of idling for cash. The ESX integration is clean, the animations are smooth, and the economic balance prevents the job from being exploited for easy money. If you want a civilian job that adds roleplay value instead of just grinding, this is your forestry solution.
