I seem to lose the whetstone permanently when I use the grindstone. I need it while I'm out exploring. Does it become part of the grindstone? I can't seem to remove it from it. I thought all this time I kept leaving it on the ground somewhere, but nope, now I realize it's when I use that bench.

Also, I have to drop it in order to use it. Can't we keep the whetstone in its own place in our inventory where it can't be dropped and we can use it without dropping it? I hate going out and not having something to repair my stuff with.

Can't I make a campfire or something so I can use it to cook with? I'm in a village and it has everything but a workbench and a place to cook. I can't create either?

Love the game otherwise!
