If you want to support other mods, you can create a compatibility folder, create a folder for the mod you want to support in that folder, and add the recipe to that folder to support the mod you want to support.
I'll see what I can come up with to support you as well.

When crafting Prospecting IRON Picks, no rope is required in the recipe. Every other tool recipe do require ropes.

macoto_hino I did think about this but i have not a clue how to add mod support, ill think about it after i make cordage required instead of rope, first mod that comes to mind will probably be In Dappled Groves

It's a mod that makes the sober survival element even more realistic!
I would love to see this mod support all kinds of tools that can be made with all kinds of other mods.

xCoiotex sounds awesome!
_ilLog probably soon ill start making some sort of cordage to add

Hello there, I'm already making a mod that will add a variety of their handle, like a steel ebony axe, steel acacia axe, etc and in the recipes I was thinking something like cordage from primitive survival. I'm nearly finishing it, here is the github development github.com/xCoiotex/BetterHandles/tree/development

Personally, I think rope is too expensive. Cordage from Primitive Survival would be more acceptable—half the cost.

Alternatively, you can gather three wildvines from a nearby forest!
