[Suggestion] Make worms more useful earlier

Cave worms are found from the very beginning of the game, but you can use their scales only after 238 hours of play (according to the expected time on the mission) [in fact, of course, faster :) ] Partial use of them should be available much earlier. Either creating something, or processing it into some useful resource (bone meal, silicon, stone, etc.). A shield behind such a plate, or tier 2 armor, similar to bone but a little better, would be appropriate.
With parts of scorpions everything is the same, but that’s a different conversation, you don’t meet them at least from the first minutes.
