For one thing the "Hammer" line is one of the most annoying

Need a Hammer to make Copper, Need Copper Hammer to make bronze, need bronze hammer to make iron, etc etc etc.

Need like 7 different type of hammers.

I think all this could be cut down to 3 at most.

Standard Hammer
Metal Working Hammer
Industrial Grade Hammer


I love the Idea of Hydrocraft, but the thing I hate about it the most is so many excessive steps and some of the steps are ridiculously pointless.

For example needing a potato smasher particularly to smash potatoes.
Why can't we just use a normal hammer? Sure its not ideal - but any blunt weapon should essentially work fine, especially if you boil the potatoes first.
