Bronze should be crafting level 25

For me , I always find all iron tools in loot before I can craft any bronze tools. In snow biome its highly likely to find them (often in construction boxes at destroyed trader pois ). So I ended up never crafting either of them. I suppose making bronze tool available earlier should help.

So maybe iron tools should be moved further to higher levels?

Don't forget that max level is at 1000 and not at 100.

So unlocking everything below level 50 is way too fast.

I found all iron tools well before able to craft even bronze . So moving iron crafting farther is irrelevant, I’ll never need to craft them. So from my perspective , bronze should be available earlier, so are iron tools. Or may be there should be some bonuses to crafted tools, to incentivize crafting

Personally I would heavily nerf loot. Remove all higher tier weapons, tools, armor and only keep low tier things and lots of parts needed to craft the higher tier things.
This ensures continuous progress.

🥲 but you get so happy to find something exciting in loot. Keep the loot plz . If loot becomes boring, it won’t be exciting to go looting any more

it would be nice to somehow link loot items to your level not lootstage becase y you can loot iron items before even scrap ones.....
