Efficiencly of Tools

[Sqeezorz 839]

I do not know if it was ever suggested. More reality of tools. The knife is not meant to be equally good or equally efficient. A stone knife is never as good as a hunting knife to cut a prey. A new ax is more efficient to beat the wood than a damaged. A shovel or hoe is better to make a plant bed than an ice ax. It would be good if such efficiency effects differed in yield or in time of work. (For example, a damaged can opener is worse than a pristine steak knife, but still better than a stone knife to open a can.) A steak knife goes rather broken with chopp the wooden stick than an ax ..but is faster to sharp sticks.
I think this make sense for trading or wait to found better or more efficiency tools.

Sry for my bad english...

There's plans for actions to be time based instead of portions chosen from a drop-down like we have now. 

One would hope an efficiency multiplier gets thrown in there depending on tool contrition.
