Flint Tools & Weapons? (Feuerstein Werkzeuge und Waffen?)
I have a great idea: Why not allow craftable flint weapons?

Historically Flint (Feuerstein) was used to make not only arrow heads, but also axes and knife blades. I would make flint stronger than stone weapons, but weaker than iron, and maybe only allow it to be made into certain items... EG: flint is so brittle that it would never actually work for a hoe or a shovel, but it made for great blades. Maybe only allow it for axes, arrowheads, flint and steel, and possibly swords? For that matter I would also allow obsidian blades in the same manner as flint blades.

Due to the sparky property of flint, if there were ever to be flaming weapons, I would make flint and obsidian the two flaming weapon types, and make flaming flint much weaker than flaming obsidian.

Flint is rarer than stone in the game since it only comes from destroying sand, and while that makes Sand a diminishing resource, Flint currently then becomes a worthless extra that only serves to create arrows, and flint and steel. Feathers are so time consuming to acquire, that there is always an abundance of flint compared to feathers.
