    tungsten set
  • Aethersteel:
  • Experience Ores:

While playing with Farmer's delight, knives for tin, platinum and aethersteel are loaded

While playing with Shield Expansion, Tin, Platinum and Aethersteel shields are loaded

(⚙) Plant ores:

Do you hate mining and would rather stay home with your farm, but would still want to upgrade your equipment? well, that's what plant ores are here for. These are unique variants of tin and platinum, allowing you to skip mining and just focus on something else.

  • Livingstone & Verdite:

    Livingstone drops when you harvest a crop planted on farmland that has stone directly underneath.
    Verdite is obtained through composting.
    While playing with Shield Expansion, livingstone and verdite shields are loaded

(⚙) Tools and armors powers:

Powers are the special characteristics that add more value to the lesser tools that most people usually leave behind the moment they obtain a new, stronger tool. These powers help at a specific thing, for example, tin duplicates things  

While playing with Oreganized, electrum will have tool/sword powers
While playing with Copper Age Backport, Copper armor will have it's own set-powers

 

(⚙) New progression & Modified durabilities:

Expands the original tool progression, so now you're forced to obtain tin and platinum if you want to get better equipment.

All tools and armors explain their powers (if they have one) and the mining tier (which usually represents the next tier) inside their tooltips

(⚙) Can't harvest text & Safe ore breaking:

A little display text will appear if the current block can't be broken. Also, ores won't be broken if you're mining them with the wrong tool.
