Lockpicking Tools
Want to spice up Kenshi’s lockpicking?
Well now you can with a new item: Lockpicking Tools!
This mod adds an item called Lockpicking Tools, which are primarily sold at the Shinobi Thieves, but can also be found in random bars as well. This item is functionally identical to Tools, but is smaller and can be placed in the Belt slot. Functionally, Lockpicking Tools still need to be in your main inventory for them to work (they do not work out of backpacks either), so the belt equip is mostly for the roleplay of "hiding" the tools away. Besides, if you were picking a lock in real life and you had tools on your belt, you’d have to take them off your belt to use them!
Lockpicking Tools is inspired by Picklock Item! (In belt slot!!). That mod REPLACES the original Tools item, which works, but I wanted a completely new item, even if the functionality is identical. If you’re interested, that mod is linked below:

This mod is best paired with Improved Prisoner/Slave Locks. In vanilla Kenshi, Tools are pretty much obsolete because locks are so easy to pick without them. This mod makes locks much harder to open, which in turn means you want to carry some form of Tools in your squad. The mod is located at the link below:

I’d also recommend Break any lock with strength! Once again, in vanilla Kenshi, opening locks with strength is relatively pointless. This mod makes it a possibility, so you have more options for opening those locks. The mod is located at the link below:

This should be compatible with most mods. The only change to was adding the new Lockpicking Tools item and placing them in vendor lists, but since the mod is adding new values, it should still be compatible with any economy/vendor mods.
