Make stone cutting available by default, research smithing

[reasonpolice]

What the subject says. I think it would make more sense that way, since it's not that hard to cut stone into blocks, and smithing requires research and practice.

I think that would unbalance the game at the beginning though allowing people to use stone instead of anything else to build the walls.

If you can take "raw steel?" and make it a wall, you can make bricks.

I think stonecutting is fine as a research. The less in research the more useless research is. Personally when I start mining I plop a wooden research table and start learning stonecutting, that way I can just drop a stoneworkers bench down in the mine and start making my walls with the ruble from mining. A twofer, cleanup and building at the same time.
