PC LumberJack's 'R' us.

This is definitely a situation specific question. I have been playing on a pretty active MP server and trees are RARE near town, so that alone changes your calculation. If you don't cut it down this time you pass it, chances are it won't be there on the way back.

But I'm the kinda guy who'll cringe at 'tubers spending time picking up their precious 5 frames. In the time you fudged around trying to pick up the frames, you'd have harvested a full tree, and passively crafted triple the frames from that.

I'm the same way but for fueling my campfiress and forges. I wonder why anyone spends time trying to get the burn time to match the smelt/craft times. That takes too long. I just put a large stack of wood that vastly exceeds my needs and stop it if it is still burning and the job's done the next time I check. Its so easy to just chop more wood/ mine more coal. 

I'm not much of a pixel conservationist.

I'm kinda there, but I'll adjust my use in logs, ~10 mins a piece, having 40 sitting in the station output waiting. I might get lost for a few days at a time thou, so having way too much is a bit of a hit ..

Depends on the game. I didn't do it before. And I don't do it now when I play a single player game. However, when I play on a server with tree seeds disabled, I calculate the firewood.
