Building restrictions in regards to stations

is it just me or is the station area restriction kinda.. meh.

in order to build a semi-big settlement, we need to spam workbenches, forges and stonecutters.

wouldn´t it just make more sense to need just the tools and supplies ?

and by that I mean dedicated tools & supplies.

so , workbench lets you craft :
hammer (better version as we need the basic one to craft the workbench)
basic saw (bonesaw maybe ? )

dowels, needed for real house construction

the forge lets you build metal tools. but the main
upgrade would be a metal saw and nails.

and the stonecutter lets you carve extra decorative stone, sculptures and stone carving / masonry toolset.

so, you would still need each station. but instead of spamming the constrction area with each station and not needing it for anything else, you would need the station to repair tools and / or carve stones to keep working.

what do you guys think ?
