What Useful Stuff adds
Useful Stuff is a collection of independent gameplay experiments rather than one single progression system. A wicker shield helps during the early game, while climbing picks and a glider open new ways to cross dangerous terrain. The tent bag lets you pack a small 7×3×7 structure and deploy it elsewhere, supporting mobile camps.
Resource handling is expanded with a sluice that separates useful finds from pannable soil, bendy chutes for awkward transport layouts, and a chiseling bench for adding materials or restoring a completed chiseled block. A pulverizer, quern recycling, and clothing breakdown provide additional ways to recover or process materials.
Combat and utility options include several tipped arrows, a ceramic tablet for personal names, backpack-mounted lantern support, and a gas mask designed for use with Asphyxia. Climbing picks require a pair and wear down with use, while the glider demands careful control around cliffs, updrafts, and landing zones.
