This patch brings a new property to items: "material". "Metal Gauntlets" are now just "Gauntlets" and can be made from either Iron or Steel. New resources to back this system up include Silken Thread, Waxed Leather, Steel, and Hardened Lumber, as well as four new resources to craft them with.
Equipment crafted with these resources provide more armor and do more damage, but more importantly they allow for the gathering of higher "tech" or "rank" resources that require Steel tools. Other "tech" upgrades, primarily temperature mitigation, will be added shortly as well using this system.
This required quite a bit of little changes to turn "metal" into "iron" and "Cloth Gloves" into just "Gloves", etc. However, there are a couple of bugs I found on the current live build, so rather than finish adding the new town encounters and everything to tie this system together I'm hoping to push tomorrow's patch (some more small fixes) live before moving further into 0.6.
