In my opinion rope is the most valuable item for research and fuel.

If you follow this guide and have a supply of grass, you should be able to craft enough rope to cover your research needs. Grass gives 3 research points, rope 27. Since you need 3 grass to make a rope, you'll make a plus of 18 points when researching it.

Rope fuels your fire pit for 12 hours, so its way more efficient to burn than logs, since its easier to aquire when you have a steady income of grass.
