IRL people would find a way to construct small, less efficient machines to, for example, do all the processing steps to make cotton fibers. I would love to see these machines be implemented. Even if it took forever to produce a small amount of cotton fibers then at least the chars in areas without access to iron would be able to make a little bit at a time for bow strings, drying racks, etc.
Those have already been there for awhile. A simple cotton gin, spindle, and simple twiner are enough to turn cotton into string without the use of any iron (or iron tools). The only step where iron is required is the making of cloth (and making a loom without any metal would be a feat indeed).
