Recycling Stone Hoes

Pluck the stone from a hoe so it can be placed on another tied shaft. This should help combat some of the iron shortage, so people can still till soil when they're running low on steel, at the cost of durability and time to grow the necessities.

well stones aren't really the rarest of material, not what I would salvage first from a broken stone hoe... but since it's the shaft that's broken, it would make sense that we could recover the rope.

Agree, but at current state of evolution, it would make game bit too easily beatable. Although good idea.

The stone hoe is generally considered the least efficient hoe, even worse than a simple skewer, so some sort of buff isn't unreasonable. Maybe get back the sharp stone + a damaged rope, and adding a thread to the damaged rope would make it a good rope again.

I actually like this idea of the (half) damaged rope..

Or simply a recipe, damaged hoe + thread = good hoe

They are shit for a reason. making them less shit takes power away from the steel hoe.

If you really want to waste time and effort, just grow 4 milkweed everytime you make a stone hoe so at least you replace the rope, and stone and branches are common, this being said, the branch is worth more on a steel hoe then a stone one.

The problem with recyclable stone hoes is that you would stop using steel because if any part of the stone hoe is recyclable they become completely renewable (or close to.)

Is the stone head recyclable? You can produce infinite stone hoes. Use some charges to plant more trees, some charges to regrow the rope, the rest of the charges for your normal work.

Is the rope recyclable? You can produce near infinite stone hoes. Use some charges for trees, use the rest for normal work and have someone take a cart to find random round stones. There are enough round stones just laying around to keep you floating in stone hoes for a long time.

Perhaps there are enough stones around, I figured it would help deal with the iron shortage so iron can be used for more vital tools like axes and shovels. As for the rope thing, I entirely agree that should be grown from scratch. Rope shouldn't be salvaged from a broken hoe.
