Currently we have Wood -> Stone -> Bronze -> Steel -> Mese -> Diamond but availability of these materials does not really follow the same progression.

Things to consider:

Different stone types for tools
Copper and Tin tools
Iron tools (Will require some kind of iron -> steel pipeline, see #12)
Make Iron only mineable with Bronze
Make Mese Ore only mineable with Steel
Make Diamond only mineable with Mese
- Or possibly Diamond and TNT, makes getting diamonds more of a real accomplishment

Also consider locking the tools behind bosses or other challenges. Think about how Terraria manages progression. Can't make the tool until you can kill a boss or survive a dangerous area, the player needs items from these things to craft the new upgrades.
