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

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.
