Also @Splagg are you aware of the plank station exploit? For now, at least, it can be infinitely used to refresh your refined axe and crude hammer. Allowing for infinite survival and almost limitless building, without the use of any stone for tools! A very helpful concept that I was long unaware of. All you have to do is make sure your harvesting and crafting skills are maxed (not sure if both are required but it seems to be best for getting all your items back) and use an almost depleted refined axe and/or crude hammer to make a plank station. For best results, have two of each of these items on standby in case you accidentally use one too much and it is destroyed. When your other refined axe and/or crude hammer you are using is almost depleted (less than 5% or so), simply destroy the plank station to receive both tools back at 100% durability! Then place the perfect tools away from the area and go back with your almost depleted ones and craft another plank station. As long as your harvesting and crafting are both maxed (again, I am not sure if both have to be but at least one does) you will get all the materials back that were used for crafting the plank station. The only catch is, you will be unable to interact with the trunk except for to break it down for sticks. In other words, you cannot pick up the trunk like you would normally be able to, but you can still use it to craft the plank station (via the quick craft menu or the standard crafting menu). This process can be repeated as necessary any time a fresh refined axe and/or crude hammer is needed. Not sure if you knew about this, and it is mentioned in other places in the forums. But I wanted to mention it just in case it may help someone survive in this mostly stoneless Pacific paradise. Lol. Not mentioning it so the devs will take it away though, so please ignore this post if you have any authority over such things. Lol.
