I have an idea about the solution for the step up from iron to steel without making iron a useless stage. It's just an idea but I hope it inspires or helps. How about instead of pure coal you can use a concentrated form of carbon? It can be 3-4 coal with maybe iron or something. It can also be used as a form of fuel (like 24 uses) This was actually an idea for my mod to make steel, but no blast furnace. This is actually sort of the way to make steel for Xerxes' weapons mod, you can go check it out to see an idea. Then you can use the carbon with iron in a blast furnace so iron won't be a useless stage and you don't have to completely skip it. This is actually the way to make steel in real life, because pure coal would make a inferior form of steel that would be weaker. I hoped it helped to see how you can make steel without skipping iron as a tool.
The world hight should be 3x the current amount, and the nether needs to have a new portal system. You could make T6-8 neather ores,
and have a new type of fuel every tier so that you can't jump tiers if you have the stuff to do so. (T1 uses crude charcoal, T2 uses charcoal(make in a T2 blast furnace if that happens), T3 uses crude coal(mined w/ T2 tools), T4 uses coal(refined from crude coal via low heat furnace made to refine all fuels from then on,which requires T3 metals)T5 has some new crude fuel that can be refinded in a different fuel refinery furnace for T6. T7 and T8 use plasmic lava(a new type of lava,kills you in one second w/ any armor, only in neather) and T9 is Ender ores,which uses the enderdragon egg + T6 fuel to make a new fuel type in a T8 fuel refinery furnace(doesn't consume the enderdragon egg). TL:DR- You need more fuels. Lots more fuels. And new ways to make them. And nether and end ores.
Do you have any pictures of items worn or held by the player? I saw the orange armor on page one, but will they all be solid-color alterations of normal armor?

I don't have any pictures, but each tier has its own armor texture recolored for each material, tier 1 just happens to use vanilla textures

^^Thread is very outdated, but the mod is coming soon^^
I am still incredibly excited about this
I can't believe there are aren't more viewers. Officially adding the banner to my signature.
Iron wouldn't be a completely useless phase (if that problem isn't already solved), because you would still need it for flint and steel, shears, rail, etc.
Edit: Oh yeah, plus anvils, which still take three blocks.
1. How do you feel about modpacks and possibly adding this to modpacks when it is released?
2. Judging by your Tier 5 armor and tool sprites, will they be crafted with gold or some other metal instead of sticks?
3. When you say increased world height, does that mean the general spawn level will also be raised?

Actually, that was exactly what I've been thinking. I planned to leave it how it is, as iron is used for numerous different things, while at the moment pretty much all the other metals are used only for either tools or to make more metals.

1. When there is a working version of the mod, as long as people ask I'll probably let them use it in a mod pack
2.No they're crafted the same, its simply meant to be a slight indicator that your tools/armor are getting pretty powerful (Tiers 1-3 are just their metal, Tier 4 has silver trim, Tier 5 has gold trim)
3.Yes, all the added height will actually be used to add more to the underground, raising sea and cloud levels

Since I haven't shown you guys anything in a while (And because I may have some bad news in the next couple of days, depending on how things go) here's a teaser for what will be worked on after tool tiers:

So what you're saying is, only play this mod on a new world, ha.

This was starting to strike me as "just another ore mod" (though may I suggest Nether and End ores for later tiers?) but this looks nice. No idea what's going on in that pic. Perhaps TerraFirmaCraft compatibility? JK
Looks like you're making ores generate in a new place. A new dimension's the first thing that comes to mind, but I doubt it. New rock layers, sort of like Inficraft?

Let’s play good guys against bad guys… Yes. Let’s play that. Are you ready? You’re the bad guy. And when you’re bad, you just run. That’s fine right? Well… Shall we play?

I don't know what inficraft, but rock layers are indeed what those textures are for . Also in the distant future the nether and end will get ores .
Integration with ProSthetics. I have the API ready to use if you'd like to integrate. If you don't, though, I'll understand. I'm just looking for an upcoming mod that will integrate in order to benefit both mods.

I still cannot find how to get to intersection 4

That depends what the favor is
Yes, tree tiers will be implemented, and you will be able to make stronger bows out of stronger wood.
