Mod Releases / Patience mod

Hey guys and girls,
As inspired by my thread on if persistence hunting been made more difficult and frustration at being able to make only crude javelins with stone tools I decided to make a quick and dirty mod to address this.
Edit: 7th Feb 2021
V2 out. Updated the Seasoned staff making process. First you make partially dried slender trunks that will come out a mix of inferior, decent and fine. These are then aged further which can only decrease the quality, as "you can't make good out of bad". In my test I ended up with 8 decent and 2 inferior seasoned trunks out of 10 but if you're lucky you can get fine seasoned trunks. If you try this mod I'd love to hear your opinions on the balancing and final quality of produced items.
So attached is v1 of this Patience mod. Now since this is a test version it only takes 2 weeks to produce seasoned lumber where in reality it should be like 6 months.
I took inspiration mostly from these three videos on stone tool selfbows:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vdPtaZ10i0 "( Nature's Arrows Part 1) Arrow Straightening"
If anyone wants to try it and give me opinions I'd love to hear what you think.

But I guess there would be alternate ways to implement progression, like making a decent javelin / bow with makeshift tools would take a very long time. A javelin made from a fresh slender trunk will warp and bend as it dries out making it worse over time compared to one made from a staff that was dried for 6 months first. A quickly made bowstring can snap when in use, so for best reliability you want good quality which takes longer and needs specialised tools to twine. Dunno, just thinking here.
Maybe I should make an alternate mod to BAC that allows you to make good quality primitive weaponry by spending longer on it.
