Better tool? Better stats!

Hello survivors!
Ever since Alpha 19 came out, I was a bit irritated by the balance of some things.
A simple example: A stone shovel lvl 3 is much better than an iron shovel (block damage is very similar, not identical + a stone shovel has less stamina consumption and is only repaired with stone)
 

That's why I created a modification to our beloved game.
It aims to balance weapons, armor and tools.

Never again will you encounter a chance where you will run half a game in scrap armor lvl 6.
You will smelt weapons / armor / tools lvl 1-2 much less frequently.

From now on, each new tier in things is BETTER than the best possible in the previous tier.

It seems okay - but everything has a cost.
Iron helmet lvl 1 will give you more defense, however, it will have only 1 slot for modification compared to the scrap helmet lvl 6, which has 4.

I did it again with melee weapons and tools.
Overall - some things got little buffs, some little nerfs.
