I agree with the rebuilding civilization from scratch part, but it's still what advances society.

*In this case, what will advance society is farming equipment. Machining science.

It's a bit like Maslows hierarchy of needs. First we need food and water and plumbing. When we are secure in those needs, society can take the next step. But the basis of security must be there before advancement

I would say we need hygiene, which is different than plumbing. Plumbing comes into play when we have cities large enough that we can't rely on outhouses.
