Jason here are some quick changes that could make tools better

Scrap Bowl = hammer + bowl
Smiths shouldn't need to spend a skill point on a pencil to recycle.

Firing Newcomen Drill & Firing Newcomen Bore = +toolBore
The newcomen drill is very rarely used (only for draw plate) it doesn't really make sense to have it spend a full skill point.

Thin steel rod should be recyclable
One of the few things we can't recycle and only useful for drill which is also only used for draw plate.

Drop spindle should be a tool and grouped with shears
It really doesn't make much sense that you can use it without it being a tool.

Hatchet and Axe should be the same tool
They are both used for kindling with the axe just being an upgraded version more durable and that can also cut trees.

Steel Froe should be a tool
Ideally grouped up with the other carpenter tools? Adze and bow saw.

Pencil shouldn't be a tool
While it is true that in real life being scribe is a profession, we don't currently have enough reason to have a scribe. Notes are seldom useful and while map making could be a profession (maybe make dying clothing/map making a tool?) marking the x on the map is too niche too keep it a tool.

Re: Jason here are some quick changes that could make tools better

Just put things into categories instead of making 60+ tools that have one to two uses.

Newcomen tech is incredibly important but once you basically make an engine you probably just kill yourself because you have a lot of wasted slots. I mean right now it's possible to create a skill set up that has zero applicable uses which is silly and we're now at the amount of tools + slots that Eve is basically a baby factory which is just plain awful.

I'm not against limiting things or trying new things but actively making the most polished part of the game worse for zero payoff is just bad.

Re: Jason here are some quick changes that could make tools better

hatchet is so nerfed, we need milwkeed buff
can't even say that compost buff, cause the water usage is crazy

steel hatchet is similar water usage but lasting less, we should probably never make new hatchets, as planting a rope would need even more water

milkweed farming really needs a buff

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.
