Weapon balance, especially the Stone Axe #33

This is a problem with vanilla PZ, but it has an impact in Hydrocraft.

HC adds a few new axes but the Stone Axe is so good that I'd take it over all of them, especially as HC makes the Stone Axe easier to craft (axe handles & near infinite chipped stones).

This feels like something we could fix, so there is actually a reason to make the 'better' weapons (especially if we use a new Smithing skill).

A simple way to remove this issue would be to nerf the stone axe, so the damage is so bad that the lighter weight doesn't make it so OP. This would also bring the stone axe in line with the stone knife & hammer, which are both rubbish.

On a related note, IMO, crafted spears are insanely OP - why bother making a metal spear when a simple wooden spear is so good?

In my own mod, I nerfed their damage & made them only craftable with a tree branch. I can provide the code for this change if desired.
