Your "On The List" thread I still take a peek at on occasion to look at those leaked models that are coming down the pipeline. I imagine many of them are in their final state by now and I wonder what they look like. In addition to primitive tools like the wooden rake and the stone axe, I believe we're also going to have "primitive crafting stations" or more specifically crafting sets that are time-period specific. We currently have a mismatched combination of iron-age and modern crafting tables. Some alternative furnaces might eventually be a thing. I'm personally hoping for a tiny furnace to get us started. I'm thinking of something like the 7D2D furnace which is just a column of stones with a hole in the middle. It looks like its good enough to make one ingot at a time (slow, yes. but that's part of starting out with only sticks and stones to work with). That could be a stepping stone to the small furnace (which looks like it should require iron to craft it).
What do you mean by "shredded leaf"? Are you thinking of using leaves as clothing (genitalia covering ^^) or perhaps as a fiber source (fiber used for binding). I think there might be a fiber usage (kinda like in ARK). Incidentally, it would be nice if we could collect thatch as we chop a tree down (that can go towards eventually making a thatch hut).
