Hey,
I'd like to suggest the ability to make a wooden spade. I just created a second character to view the new updates and because my first character was so far into the game with getting into the iron age of crafting tools, I noticed as the beginner new character with wood and stone that its not an option to craft a wood or stone spade. This would be so helpful as you are starting on your first Yland and trying to create a "home base". I noticed after a while you unlock the ability to create a wooden shovel, which is great for smoothing the land to build on flat surfaces. Having a wooden spade in the beginning would be helpful in other areas.
Just a suggestion, I know you get the crafting ability once you find and learn iron recipes.
Thanks! Loving the game!
