Stop Follower Deforestation at Home!

Hello! I"v made my respite in a forested world and I'm very pleased with how everything looks.
But apparently my follower does not. While I usually enjoy my follower gathering materials (thank you so much for fixing that), it's getting annoying that nothing I build is safe from that Axe-pick. I would love to keep some of the naturally placed trees and stones within my Cairn's range they don't last long before the non-verbal maniac gets swinging. There goes the view and the integrity of my buildings.
If there was a setting accessible through the Respite's Cairn itself to determine whether followers can gather resources within the respite's range that would help a lot for aesthetic builders and people with very few nerves left.
Thank you guys, the update had been a huge change and I'm enjoying it.
