VE Shoe and Glove Remover
Shoes and Gloves are the true bast- orphans of Rimworld, not acknowledged by Tynan in the first place and implemented in a very lacking way by the VE team, they had me wondering if they are worth fully implementing or if they should just be removed altogether. After banging my head against a wall for 2 hours failing to get starting colonists to spawn with shoes and seeing that VFE: Empire just gave up altogether on the implementation of shoes, I decided to give them the ol’ yeller treatment (I had already been doing this onto local copies for months now, but it is time to go public.)
The reason for the dependency is that I do not know how to travel back in time and patch the patch out of another mod that I am patching before it executes the patch, but VAE includes this neat little exception for that one little mod, so, by adding it, we can avoid red errors caused by the attempted patch so people don’t figure out that I am a lazy modder and up and removed all the defs which is a TERRIBLE way to do this and you should never do it yourself.
I recommend additionally using a mod like Vanilla Combat Reloaded to actually go ahead and add hand/feet protection to any item that has arm/leg coverage.
