This needs to happen, like noi! Haha... No, really. I think it would make this game soooo much more addicting and fun if you could find or craft items that have attributes/stats or items that can enchant your clothing or tools!
A couple examples:
A mining pick with +1 to +10 mining on it that would give you a chance to get the +plus amount every time you mine.
A cutting board with +1 to * in cooking that would give you a percentage chance at consuming none of the crafting resources.
Food with bonuses! You could have food that could do some nifty stuff, like a percentage chance of not using any energy for a certain type of action.
Echants! Enchant the clothes in your wardrobe! Creating a mining suit that has bonuses to mining.
This could be really fun =)
