What kind of bark is too strong for an axe, but not a machete? Axes are a medium/small-sized blade with most of its weight behind the wedge, making it easier to split bark. Machetes, on the other hand, are long and light. Most of its weight is behind a sword-like edge. More weight is distributed around the object. The in-game machete used for plants with "thicker areas" like thick & tall grass, thick and tall bamboo, thick vines, etc. It would make sense if the trunk was too thick, making the axe less effective.

I dunno. I'm not a scientist. It just seems weird for me.
