I'm not too sure but I think you have to make logs (sticks and boards if you want too) edible items

This is code from gears.lua (because wx-78 can eat them)

Spoiler

    inst:AddComponent("edible")
    inst.components.edible.foodtype = "GEARS"
    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = TUNING.HEALING_HUGE
    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = TUNING.CALORIES_HUGE
    inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = TUNING.SANITY_HUGE

There's an example of how to modify a prefab here

 

This is the function (I believe) that allows wx-78 to eat gears

local fn = function(inst)
    inst.level = 0
    inst.charge_time = 0
    inst.spark_time = 3

    inst.components.eater.ignoresspoilage = true
    table.insert(inst.components.eater.foodprefs, "GEARS")
    inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(oneat)
    applyupgrades(inst)

    inst:AddComponent("playerlightningtarget")
    inst:ListenForEvent("lightningstrike", onlightingstrike)
    

    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()
    inst.Light:Enable(false)
    inst.Light:SetRadius(2)
    inst.Light:SetFalloff(0.75)
    inst.Light:SetIntensity(.9)
    inst.Light:SetColour(235/255,121/255,12/255)
    
    inst.OnLongUpdate = function(inst, dt) 
        inst.charge_time = math.max(0, inst.charge_time - dt)
    end

    inst:DoPeriodicTask(1/10, function() dorainsparks(inst, 1/10) end)
    inst.OnSave = onsave
    inst.OnLoad = onload
    inst.OnPreLoad = onpreload
    
end

In `log.lua` and 'twigs.lua', it shows that wood logs are already edible
 

inst:AddComponent("edible")
inst.components.edible.foodtype = "WOOD"

You can set the following for the `eater` component of your character
 

inst.components.eater:SetBeaver()

That will set in the eater component `self.foodprefs` to "WOOD". Which allows the character to eat wood (but I think wood only?). You can play around with eater.foodprefs to get the combination you desire for what character can eat.
