    Ok I know I wasn't the only one that had this happen to. While trying to harvest a lumber pile, on the second swipe at it I died. I know I wasn't alone as after typing this in chat about 3-5 other people chimmed in and said they had the same thing happen to them. Both on the lumber piles and on the stones. PLEASE fix this. I seriously don't want to keep dying or think I'm going to die from harvesting anything. Name in game is the same and I'm on the N. American (No pvp) server. Please put an update out with this fixed so we don't have to worry about this. Thank you.

    Actually, I just had the same thing happen to me.
    Apparently, you can kill yourself with a pick axe if you are aiming down towards your feet.
    Just lost a HUGE resource run due to "suicide"
    Was this implemented before? I have been in the same view point many of times and it never harmed me in any way

    i think its because now the lumber piles shrink everytime you hit them ...The last pile is quite small ! I found myself having to crouch to hit the last one !! its going to slow down an already painfully slow way to collect goods !

    I am quite sure, about 98%, that when I was hacking away at the logs that I was looking at a 45 degree angle or higher than I was at myself. Normally when I got to harvest lumber, prior to the patch, I would look at the lumber pile almost evenly with the horizon. Hardly ever did I have to look more towards the ground. And this was a fresh pile not like after two hits or something.

    Yep, I harvested a shit ton of wood, and rock. In the middle of crafting arrows, wood pile decides it wants my shit. I go back and wolf chases me off. I run around a rock and it gets stuck, I fall off rock, wolf eats me. I can't find my stuff, some guy kills me with a bolt action rifle. Hope he likes my rock. Decide to radiation dive. Kevlar guy kills me. I don't know what I thought was so great about this game. Back to Day-z, where there are less hackers, and inanimate objects don't just randomly kill you.

    Killed by a boulder, third swipe, only happened once in a hundred or so boulders.

    Not too fussed, kinda laughed... might have jack-hammered my brain from the anus, perhaps, with wild, crazy-man pick axing.

    So yeah:

    boulder. pickaxe. dead. rare.

    I was using a stone hatchet. So there's your theory right out the window.

    I've heard that turning off fall damage will prevent this from happening - not 100% on this, however.

    It's just a report, mkay?

    the pickaxe to the brain via the anus was a theory, pickaxe in cheek so to speak :)

    If we all made a new post about the same problem thats been mentioned since the lastest patch. Then the search feature will be removed.

    I suspect this is to do with the changing models. Perhaps it is possible to intersect the payer with one of the smaller models as the resource shrinks so that when it changes model, you are inside it?

    I've died whilst harvesting rock and also been injured and bleeding while doing so. The death was particularly harsh, because I had probably my best run ever and was loaded with resources and had found a nice gun. :(

    Some birds told me it only happens when you're crouching while gathering.

    A friend told me that. I tried to reproduce this bug, but 10 HP fall damage were everything I got.

    I posted this over in another section of the forum, but it's pretty random, and happens with multiple variables, Pickaxe, both hatchets, rocks. Crouching or not, standing on the rock or just away from it within the hit-box, it makes no difference because it's likely related to a texture change. Someone who has the ability, should tape it in several different variables and post it in the bugs section so Helk can see it- Feedback is the only way it gets fixed sooner, not "It's Alpha, quit posting, we all know" blah blah blah. I would do it myself but my GPU sucks so playing and vid capturing at the same time are near impossible. I mentioned this because they want feedback on it per Trello- https://trello.com/c/ZOUIkTlI/272-ha...-model-changes - It will take whoever a while, but please do it if you have time. Again, it happens with a lot of different variables so don't assume it only happens when you do X or Y, cause I have tried it a lot today.
