i was just having this discusion with my freind a few nights ago, my idea is that you have to get a peice of stone by digging out all the blocks around it, which is already in the game im just adding this so you know what stone im talking about, then you use a flint tool, and either with a blueprint or by using shapped crafting, i.e. stone on top of flint tool= pick, stone under flint tool= shovel and so on, and then you craft it with a stick to get the tool

instead of a mottor, how about you make it so that it takes up 2 block spaces, one that when you right click it opens a gui and allows you to put your tool into the grinding slot, and the secoond block that when you click it "grinds" the tool, but it should have limited uses, i mean a tool can only be grinded so many times before it becomes to small or thin to use. to do this biox could use one of those amazing status effects he does. like the temp for ingots and metals, every time you grind a tool it changes the condition up to a certain point, there should be about as many status levels as with the heating process so that you don't use up all the grinding statuses in one go, or it could be made so that you have to click the grinding stone until a special effect happens, he could make a new particle spark effect so that when you have clicked it enough it will send off sparks and the tool gains half its durability. this would allow there to be less status levels and therfore be easier on bioxx, also i like the portable grinding stones but i think that it should be made so that they are tricky to craft, maybe putting one of the types of stone in the anvil and working it into a whetstone, or using flint and stone together to craft a whet stone some how. at any rate the portable whet stone should not be useable to up the durrability by half with the grinding stone, at this point they will use up half a status level, easily implemented by adding those astreks that bioxx uses in the heating system, but it only heals 1/8 of the health, so if you have 5/8 and use a whet stone your tool is up to 6/8. you guys get the idea i hope, but that way it is way more effective to use the grinding stone but you still have a way to mantain weapons on the go. yes i write realy long descriptions because i feel like i have to explain everything thouroughly

this idea has my support,
