Chop wood tool applies the scissors icons to the trees, while selecting a tree and setting chop wood, uses the machete icon. Trees get cut down all ways regardless though.

the harvest tool only works if the tree is mature enough, so it puts that icon on.

the reverse selection (right click on the tree) performs cut plant, the scissors icon.  so its actually putting the right icon :)

edit:  Its very confusing and on further thought I put up something in the suggestions forum.

Sorry, I think you misunderstand, or I did not explain properly.

With the click and drag Chop Wood tool, it selects proper aged trees to cut down, and highlights them with the scissors icon.
Clicking on a tree and clicking the UI Chop Tree button, machete icon highlight.
Cut Plants click and drag, also shows the machete.

All three ways, cuts the tree down for wood.

Harvest which has the scissors, is a completely different action.

Nothing shows the axe, in case that is also an issue.

I understood.  In a round-a-bout way (which was unintentional) I was attempting to explain that while it says 'chop wood' when you select a tree.. its actually performing cut plant.    its confusing and why i put up my suggestion on how to simplify it

It is working as designed, and it's a bit weird, yes.

It uses "cut plant" for trees reverse designation because otherwise there'd either be no option at all for immature trees, or two options for mature trees.
