TFC Better Stone Tools

TFC Better Stone Tools — Enhanced Stone Tool Crafting System

Discover a fundamentally new approach to crafting stone tools in TFC! This modest but substantial modification completely revolutionizes the existing stone knapping system, offering a much more realistic and engaging process.

New Stone Processing Technology

Forget the old method — now to create stone tool heads, you'll need to repeatedly strike stones against a hardened stone surface. This approach demands patience and endurance, as ancient tool manufacturing technology presents significant challenges.

Process Risks and Reality

The stone blank creation process is far from guaranteed — the probability of successfully obtaining a proper tool head ranges from uncertain 20% to acceptable 50%. Each stone strike becomes an act of faith in craftsmanship, where the outcome remains unpredictable.

Complete Recipe Overhaul

The stone tool crafting system has undergone substantial refinement. Now, instead of primitive fastening methods, sturdy plant rope is used to attach the tool head to the shaft. This historically justified innovation adds realism to gameplay.

This mechanic's uniqueness extends to the very basics: basic plant rope must now be crafted independently from plant fibers obtained by processing ordinary grass or fallen leaves. A completely different approach applies to the tool base as well — smooth sticks now replace ordinary twigs.
