• Discoverability? How does the player know what tools they should make?
• How to handle armor? Armor and accessories #604

I think pickaxe power should be separated into "Power" and "Hardness"

Hardness determines a tool's hardness on the Mohs Scale
Power determines how much damage a tool does to the block. This is divided by the difference of Hardness.

As for tool-making, you could have a drop-down that determines what kind of tool you're trying to make.
For example: I make a tool that looks like a pickaxe, but if I choose the option "sword," it will instead try to use a sort of "sword" formula to determine its stats!

Right now the current algorithm could just be the "multi-tool" algorithm.

Right now the plan is to use #594 which would allow for more artistic control and easier balancing of the underlying formula (preventing the square shovel).

#594 sort of looks complicated to me, but I'm sure it'll work better in practice.

[IntegratedQuantum]

Complicated for the player? or complicated to implement?

[ikabod-kee]

Both. XD

I think that system could work though.
