Good idea with the progressive mode
I don't know if you know the concept of Valheim, it's that in the beginning you only have a few crafting recipes because you don't know things yet and you have to find them first to be able to craft them and they will be in the Crafting station saved, so you can also craft old things that you don't have to. You can do the same in Vintagestory but only if you have it in the book (diary).
