Need a screwdriver? Better hope there's one lying under a brick in a back alley somewhere!

I know that simply buying every solution you need would make for a terribly silly game, and I can pretty easily ignore how little sense that makes while playing, sure. This isn't a complaint, exactly. Just something that went through my head earlier.

Stardew valley. The resources required to have a tool made by your blacksmith make sense and most people can’t simply walk down the road and buy a steel pickax. Especially not in a small rural town. But it’s still gamified sufficiently so it doesn’t just feel like work/arbitrary.
