Description

There are some tools mods out there but I didn’t feel they added enough of them or added them in a meaningful immersive manner so I made this.

This adds 4 tiers of tools primitive, basic, industrial, and spacer locked behind research (in a new research bar for those who don’t use UI mods).

They should cover most of what stats can be boosted, they are made to be "immersive" so should fit in any game even medieval-oriented ones. And yes having a pawn with just a broom is something I want (especially when they are kids, I put those rascals to work no lazying around in my colony >:) ).

Contents(not to scale, some are smaller in game)

Balance?

Tools are supposed to make life easier not for the good pawns but for the bad ones, so as such they are "op" in the sense that primitive starts at a 10% boost overall and each tier adds +10%. It might seem broken but at the same time, it is quite boring to wait around for pawns to do their chores, especially late game, and considering I play with 400+ mods with debufs and bad things happening I consider it balanced for my taste.

You SHOULD get these mods!

The game won’t switch (or allow you to have more than 1) tool/weapon in your inventory so mods are required for that, it’s not mandatory if you have other ways to manage your tools, who uses them, and when.

Pick up and haul (as the name says for picking stuff up and keeping them in inventory)

Then one of the following Simple sidearms or Grab your tool or anything similar.

Notes

To have your tool swapped when crafting you need to use De-generalize work mod and Simple sidearms (grab your tool does not work)

It’s my first mod and my first attempt at emulating Rimworld textures so the quality is not that great.

If anyone wants to make a translation of descriptions feel free to do it just link it back to this mod.

Balancing might be wack but nothing a simple of a XML edit cant fix.

Should work nicely with Show me your hands although it requires manual positioning of hands.
