For sure. I think trying to preserve these tools is a bit of a waste of time. But extending their lifespan is always a win in my book

That’s a great point, I didn’t consider the tech tree that leads to bikes also makes cars more likely :/

I figured there were some issues like that, I think I’m more into the general idea than this specific execution

Lawns certainly have a role; hard to picnic or play soccer in tall fields of native grasses. Keeping a small patch as a part of ones landscaping is fine imo
