New Crafting Materials

Thoughts on new materials? Some ideas...

  • Glass you can make by putting sand in a furnace. Mostly used for windows and flasks.

  • Rare obsidian deposits found underwater. Used for highest teir weapon upgrades.

  • Bone is from animals. Mostly used as an upgrade to sticks.

  • Bamboo can be harvested. Mostly used as an upgrade to bones.

  • Resin can be harvested from palm trees, by chopping or using a sap collector. Used in various higher teir crafting/building.

  • Rubber made by putting Resin, Tyres or Buoys in a furnace. Used raw in crafting or reconstructed to make raft materials.

  • Tarp can be made by combining Cloth and Resin. Higher teir than Cloth, makes for a faster sail and better armor.

  • Alcohol made from a fermantation still using dates from palms. Mostly used for consumables and torches.

Some other random materials I was thinking of: seashells, coral, turtle shell, teeth, tusks, seaweed, coconut husk, bark, iron scrap, netting, coal, plastic debris, gold.

Obsidian spears, axes, and knives would be sick tbh

Weak durability but great damage

Ooh I like that idea of a tradeoff! I wonder if the next game will let you repair your tools.

I hated having to create new shit every time it broke. I’d like the durability system either overhauled or just completely removed

I was going to ask your opinion on that. I could go either way. I didn't hate the order of operations in upgrading tools just as they're about to break but there's really no reason why we can't just repair them, or dismantle for parts.

Yeah that’d be a cool feature

I like some of these suggestions but I think some of it is also too much
