In strategy games, when workers gather any mind of resource, it's always shown in visually simplified ways. For example, wood becomes tiny bundles that would only be useful as firewood, not for building structures. The main reason for this trope is that it would be much harder to animate several workers hauling logs than it is to animate single peons working by themselves. Alternatively, it might be because you need miniature planks to make all those tiny buildings. See also Space Compression, when large territories can be crossed in short timespans; Units Not to Scale, when the sprites for stuff are shown very big on the map; and Bonsai Forest, where trees are unusually close to human-size. |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: While wood bundles obtained from chopped trees are most commonly used to make fires, there are a few quests that require you to gather them for construction. | |

Mon Bazou: Justified since most of your income (at least early on) comes from selling firewood to your brother, but building the sugar shack to start maple syrup production just involves stacking pine logs in a designated area until the titular shack pops out of thin air, none of the log being long enough to make the walls depicted in-game. | |

Final Fantasy XIV: In A Realm Reborn, you can harvest logs from trees, which generally have to be processed into lumber before they can be made use of. (This presents a different kind of weirdness, however, as it takes multiple individual logs to craft a single piece of lumber.) | |

World of Warcraft: It pays homage to Warcraft by having many quests that involve collecting those neatly stacked piles of lumber, ostensibly for construction purposes. They are usually represented like that in the inventory too, although some do make them look like cut boards, not firewood. Justified to an extent by the Goblins who, not to be outdone in the efficiency department, use machines called Shredders that can automate the chopping and sawing of wood until they spit out a nice collection of perfectly formed boards. Until they break down and explode, or go berserk and start killing people. | |

Warcraft: Units go through the trouble of chopping down trees and then forming them into nice little logs for you before actually bringing them back to the lumber mill. In the first two games, though the Lumber Mills show them as planks, worker units carry them as fireplace-sized logs |

Dwarf Fortress: Logs go directly into carpenter's workshops and be used directly in constructions — even if the construction is a smooth flat road. Further, when logs are used for constructing things like walls you can disassemble them to get the log back and then turn the log into a bed/door/etc. In the 2014 major content patch, trees are given variable sizes instead of one log from each tree, and the speed at which the log is transported back to the stockpile varies according to the mass of the wood; oak logs are noticeably heavier than something like willow, for example. | |

Tropico: Lumberjacks always carry a single log, the tree they just cut down. They are still taken further by teamsters on wheelbarrows and need to be taken to a lumber mill to be turned from raw logs into useful planks of wood. Lumber can be exported, but it's further useful when taken to a furniture factory. In Pirate's Cove, you need to set up logging camps and then a lumber mill to get your construction material. |

Heroes of Might and Magic: The backstory behind the endless bundle of lumber artifacts, which provides the owner with one extra wood each day, says it's a small bundle that the person who found it first mistakes for firewood. An expansion of the fourth game has you command an army of militant elves who are categorically opposed to cutting down trees and even launch an anti-human genocide because of it. lumber is gained via a scripted event, that gives the player a small amount of wood every week. Along with the explanation that the player character spent his free time collecting fallen twigs. That's right. Twigs. |

The Settlers: After the woodcutter chops down a tree, he strips it of branches and carries the log on his shoulder to his house. This is carried by other settlers all the way to the Carpenter's house, where he cuts the log into planks, which are then carried off to wherever they are needed. Half the uniqueness of the game comes from actually animating all those things, which most games don't. Much of the other half comes from the gameplay implementation of those animations. Nifty animations aside, the fact that your little animated settlers actually carry resources from A to B forces you to organize a transport network that can handle the flow of resources without getting into traffic jams. This game averts Easy Logistics hard, to the point where logistics is the main source of challenge in the game. This also produces the weirdness that one tree turns into one log turns into one unit of planks; the same amount of planks can be used to build either the frame of a small house, a rowboat, or the handle of a spade. |

Rise of Nations: Only the icon for wood. Workers are shown moving small logs while logging camps (which must be built near forests) are seen moving around large logs and lumber. Coal cuts down on wood costs, implying that some of them are used for fuel, so being represented like that makes sense. Just sometimes. | |
