i KNOW there is a faster building mode where 1 hit can build a whole section, and that there is a building trance skill.. but i think making better tools able to do more would also be nice. i look at the fast options as kind of cheese so i tend not to want to use them but i think a fair way to implement speed of construction would be: wood hammer- 1 material.... copper hammer- 3 material bronze- 5 material Iron hammer- 10 Material (per hit) and then for crafting items i know the skill gives a 10/15/25 percent increase.. but there can be room for another skill in T4 that can allow for more items crafted at once.. level 1- 2 level 2-4 level 3-8... or so forth. this way as you progress you actually feel like the better tools are worth it other than durability, and with crafting 25% boost on a 10 second item is still 7.5 seconds per... but if im grinding my crafting skill (which can be tedious) itd be nice to feel like youve learned "techniques" that allow multiple item crafting once you "mastered" it.

personally i just feel like faster building and crafting option is a bit cheese.. everyone can play how they want ofc but id like to meet in the middle... having better hammers actually craft faster and having skills to multi craft items would be fair middle ground for those who would actually like to grind it and earn the skill to craft/build faster. lets say right now if instant options are on thats 100% speed... currently without that toggled, players can maybe hit 10% speed.. my suggestion is attempting to make that 10% speed able to reach atleast 40% while feeling like its an earned speed boost.
