The purpose of this mod is to slow down early and mid game progression. This mod disables tree punching to force players to use either a flint tool or a bone tool to obtain wood (similarly to many 'no tree punching' mods). The process of progressing to iron level tools has been made a bit more complicated since stone tools can no longer break iron ore and a copper pickaxe is now required to obtain it.

New Mechanics:

- Trees can no longer be punched and you must craft a tool first (the flint tool or the bone tool).

- Iron can no longer be mined with stone tools (requires copper tools).

- Gravel can be crafted into flint to obtain flint easier.

- Copper ore only drops one raw copper instead of multiple (to balance how quickly copper tools can be obtained).

- Sculk must be broken with a hoe.

- Chorus plants must be broken with a stone axe or better.
