FlintTools - alcatrazEscapee/no-tree-punching GitHub Wiki

Instead of wooden or stone tools, the first tools you will be able to create are flint ones. They generally require flint shards, sticks, and plant string, which can all be obtained without any tools (and the latter with any knife).

Flint Knife

This is the first tool you will need. It is a knife, which means a few things:

• When breaking grass, there is a chance that plant fiber will get produced.
• You can now break plant type blocks and receive their drops.
• The knife can be crafted with several plant produces to produce plant fiber.

Plant fiber can be crafted into plant string, which is necessary for the creation of other flint tools.

Flint Axe

This is the second tool you will need. It is a low tier axe, but more importantly can be used to (inefficiently) chop wood into planks (it can not just be crafted, a tool is needed).

Others

In addition to the axe and knife, a shovel, pickaxe, and hoe can all be made from flint. For a weapon, the knife is a low damage quick recharge weapon, the axe is heavy hitting but slow, or you can invest in a Macuahuitl which is a nasty flint-studded-wood monstrosity.
