I'm pretty sure that they made it so you couldn't put more than one log in your hand, as its been a thing since the first version.
Why would anyone think that being able to put logs into the inventory is not cool? The inventory is not a small pocket. It represents a large storage space for the FarmerPlayer and the bots. It is a very useful feature of the game and provides us with lots of opportunities to develop the actions of the bots.
