hey thanks for the feed back.
Most of those bugs and issues have been resolved with the latest updates. I suspect you are playing the first mod fix download, or early version, from when I decided to fix those bugs in the first place.
I am aware of the remaining bug with the Cooking Pot servings...i have yet to be able to fix that...still trying.
The gold has not mush use in the game, as the Diary states it is not implemented in the game as of yet. The coal rock has been removed from HARD mode and yes you have to mine to 200 before you get coal from other rock or clay. This put demand on the iron tools for the beginning of the game.
Please try the latest download 11-22-2012and if your playing an old version "restart" your game (sorry). You can delete all old versions this new one is current. Play for atleast 14 days on hard mode and get back to me with your feedback on that please...most bugs should be taken care of thus far.
I will however double check the issue you described, but I think it is the older "bugged" version you played.
thank you for the feed back!
edit...the pickaxe works, you have to make iron/steel "bars" first, then combine the "bars" with your "hammer" at the "anvil". The long head cannot be made from the soft nuggets, you need bars.
also: gold rock gives gold nuggets yes, it was left in the game for now as a source of other stuff to though, like iron,coal, sulfer, saltpeter, stones, pebbles. My next update already has made a use for some gold nuggets...currently I am working on some new things for the game...to use up resources that have no use, or very little....like the tepee using up abundance of shins and chord/cotton.
