So I purchased the game and just recently gave it a go, And I can't seem to get past what seems like a super basic step.... Creating planks from a tree to make a work bench. I chop the tree with the axe and it falls apart, then i chop the pieces.. and chop... and chop.. and chop... you get the idea, They never turn into wood planks, What am I doing wrong? Is it a bug? I'm aware the game is in it's early stages I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is it the game?

The logs don't turn into planks as you chop them, you just want to cut them down to a descent size so they will fit in your inventory.
Then open up your tool belt. (it looks like your inventory but without the hotkey slots at the bottom)
Put the ingredients for any items you want to craft in the toolbelt (in this case the chopped up pieces of tree) and a list of items you can make will appear on the right side of the window.
Click on it and the item will appear inside the tool belt!

That is weird because I had literally every square inch of space in my crafting belt and I couldn't create planks.

You might have to make a workbench first before you can make planks, but i couldn't say for certain.
If you look at the crafting instructions it will say int he top left of each page what you need to use to make the item.

I think the issue at hand is that the logs won't cut down enough to fit in the inventory? I seem to be having the same issue if that's the case. Can't seem to pick up the logs at the smallest I *can* cut them to, and otherwise I can't do anything but whack... and whack.... and whack. 5 minutes was the longest I managed to sit through continuous chopping.

Just take the logs and hover them at the edges of your inventory and you can sometimes place them in your inventory. They will hang off of the edge but it works.

My problem is that I'm unable to pick the logs up at all. I assume they're too big, unless there's something I'm doing wrong?

I've had a smilair problem with the planks. When I was too close to them, I couldn't pick them up. Try and leave the area and enter it again, that usually works.

Actually, there is a random bug that i've been noticing that doesn't let me grab logs after i play for some time. When this bugs kicks in, just reset the game. About the workbench, you need to open your toolbelt (default key is T), and put 4 pieces of log (not plank), and 2 long sticks. You can only craft logs in the workbench, so you would never be able to make a workbench using planks.
hope this helped
