Lead hammers?

[Ezra]

Simple(?) suggestion: Lead hammers could be a thing. Probably not lead helve hammer, though.

Lead hammers would be at least as effective as copper, but with lower durability because lead is more easily deformed.

Real world lead hammers are actually made from lead alloys, and are generally used where it is important not to damage the object you are moving, driving or bending - but I think that level of detail can be neglected.

maybe for making jewelry? Wasn't there something planned for all those gems we can acquire through mining?

So far I don't see where they could belong, but it's something to consider when hammers will be used for something more than smithing and grid crafting, like resetting machines that jam and can be damaged if you hit them with harder metals.

Were missing the easy route here; it could just be a cheap weapon for when you first start getting into the clay era and can just mold a simple block onto a stick and make a slightly primitive, yet heavy and effective mace.
