Pax Dei has a similar progression system you often see in survival crafting games. You’ll get some of the basic tools and encounter some sturdier objects where your tools aren’t strong enough to farm. Upgrading your tools to the next tier is necessary to farm these objects or resources so you can unlock new recipes and become stronger.
