> A gem for the post-apocalyptic bookshelf. Assuming anyone can still read. I assume that to get a bookshelf, you have to build the wood workshop first?

    I've thought of this when thinking about bringing recently extinct creatures back from extinction via cloning. Take New Zealand or Hawai'i and try to bring back an animal that humans caused to go extinct. Like the Haast's eagle. The eagle only went extinct around 1400, but did so because the Maori hunted the moa to extinction. So bring the eagle back you need to bring the moa back. To bring the moa back you'll need moa habitat, which have been radically changed and are in short supply. More broadly, it shows a central problem with humans who want X but don't want to dedicate the work or resources for X. Take the current issues in restaurants in America. American consumers want cheap and well prepared food, but aren't willing to pay very much for it. So, and entire industry matured using exploitive employment practices and keeping wages below the cost of living let alone a living wage. The business can't pay enough and make a profit with the price consumers are willing to pay. So yeah, we want pandas and gorillas and the buffalo to roam, but often aren't willing to pay the bill needed to do so.

    The problem with object-oriented languages is they've got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them.

In order to make woodworking tools, you will probably want a functioning smithy.

  But that contradicts every crafting survival game I've ever played!

The primitive technology guy would make a shelf out of earth. Edit: Or he would just hack some bamboo or some thick branches with a stone axe and tie them together using some dried vines to create a pretty good shelf.

Perhaps construct some sort of rudimentary lathe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQzg1vpxnnY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQzg1vpxnnY
