You know you can trade to get the recipe to make tools right?

Just recently found and learned a pattern for the foragers lowbie saw and my tool craft skill is just over 30. No BS! Also my scavenging is now 85 and I get about 2 old saw blades per session. You just need to grind up scavenging as a priority.
It is also location. I have been scav'n in 823 for 3 days now and have not gotten 1 saw blade. I ran to 738 and did a trade for a cart. On the way back to 823 I scav'd in 738 and 739 and got 2 old saw blades.. So ya its location, location location...
Also in 823 I get saw recipes all the time. I ahve 6 foragers saw recipes, pioneers saw( master and artisan) trappers saw. Its just random, you gotta dedicate some time to scaving to get the stuff you want.
Or like DDT said, TRADE!!! Just freaking Trade already ...
I think you automatically learn the foragers saw at 30-35 now, every new player I've talked including myself have all gotten it then. Could be wrong cause I haven't talk to EVERYONE that has skilled up tool crafting in the last 2-3 weeks.
Need some clarity on this but from my perspective it seems not everything is completely random that you learn.
