Butchering, chopping etc should autoequip best tool

If you have multiple suitable tools on your belt the one with highest Q should be prioritized for the job. Swapping the one in your hands if needed. I know there are several cases where you might not want to use your best tool for example sawing boards with metal saw instead of high Q bone saw, but losing couple of low q boards isn't such a big deal compared with botching high Q hide or ore tile.

That would be complete aids for someone using a butchering knife while having a stone axe in the belt. Like, *absolute* aids. Matters a lot for herders.

So its aids either way. Perhaps there could be a way to manually set priorities.

Another ambiguous use case: Mining with a low-quality pickaxe or a high-quality lesser axe? Currently it switches out your high-quality axe for the pickaxe if you try to mine for quality and you need to specifically remove the pickaxe from your belt to prevent this. But more often the pickaxe is exactly what you want.

it also wants too mine or butcher with an metal axe over an stone one, arguably, if you carry both, its because your stoneaxe is better at anything than chopping wood.
