the real question is whether or not you're allowed to use animal products from animals you didn't personally kill (e.g. beach salvage). if not then you'd be confined to level 1 of the mines and would have to get enough metal to make a metal saw before you could even make anything requiring boards
probably you'd also be seriously limited in your ability to drink water since no hides or leather would be available, which would also preclude most backpacks/storage equipment
bulk farming would be a pain since you couldn't make wheelbarrows
you'd have to skip palisades and go straight to brick walls
a pretty big number of gildings would be inaccessible along with a huge portion of equipment
i think the most interesting thing about this whole thought exercise though is that the endgame is actually still reachable even though it requires skipping the midgame pretty much entirely through a variety of roundabout methods
