What an idiotic description. The chance for a treeguard to spawn, changes all the time.

If you allways only chop down 3 trees, just like you would with woodie, you will pretty much NEVER encounter a treeguard. Atm i am at day 200 with 3 treeguards seen. 1 Random one, and 2 spawned together, when i chopped down 5 trees at once.

The Mechanism is simmilar to naughtiness or the curse... As long as you don't do to much killing (trees or animals) it's fine, and nothing will ever happen.

3 Trees per day is pretty much a guarantee to NEVER see the treeguard

Could imagine that there are 2 "values" you need to exceed, to make the guard spawn, like... "Trees felled since last guardian" and "recent felled trees".

On i.e. day 7, you could easily chop down 5-7 trees, without making the guardian spawn, but me, after like 100 days, never seeing a guard, when i fell 4 trees in a row, there is like a 50% chance on the 4th tree and even higher chances on the 5th.

"The more trees you have murdered since the last guardian spawned, the easier the guardian gets mad, and the less trees you can chop in a short time"

Almost sure that this is how it works, at least the "Long time no guardian = higher spawn rate / less choppable trees" part.
