Some items are used for too many tasks and have no alternative.

Imagine, if you will if you could use the round stone to smith everything. On the one hand this would make some tasks easier, but much like the flat rocks the round stone would go a-wandering for other tasks. The smith hammer is always in the right place unless a griefer swipes it. And the one smithing task done with the round stone can also be done with the hammer. (the smith should have a round stone to save iron, but if it isn't there it's not time to stop working and hunt for a stone.)

Having an item that can only be used in a few tasks can be good. Especially if it's a bit better than the simpler item.

large bowl
-holds three bowls of beans, corn, and other stew items

sieve
-place on a large bowl to winnow 3 bowls of beans

mortal and pestle
-crush 3 bowls of corn at once fill with a large bowl or 3 small bowls

Platter
-hold 3 squash, really it should be required for the turkey to IMO

No more yelling at people for returning your plates to the bakery or swiping the round stone.

Knives should be able to mash bowls (all berry, carrot, rabbit variations) and also dig burdocks/wild carrots. It makes no sense to hunt for a sharp stone when composting

Re: Some items are used for too many tasks and have no alternative.

that's why i often bring a bunch of new stones to the settlement/town, cause those present are mostly used for wells or just disappear magically

i am all for storage options, storage options & stackable everything
with what we have is organization atm hard to achieve, actually not at all

RETURN YOUR PLATES TO KITCHEN!
That's me. I've been that one who makes notes in bakery to return all spare plates there. xD

This. Changing a tool to make it do less is easier than inventing new tools. There's no reason the people inside the game wouldn't be able to.
