Rain's Tools & Blades

Description
This mod adds some cool new tools & weapons to PZ, in both Single Player and Multiplayer! It doesn't overwrite anything that's base PZ stuff, so it shouldn't cause issues with any other mods that also stay true to the base PZ code.



List of new stuff
Bush Machete
A very well crafted Bush/Latin style carbon steel machete. Durable and sharp!
Curved Machete
Not quite a hawkbill, but still a hooked-blade machete that's just a bit longer than the other machetes.
Sawback Machete
A true multitool! You can hack zombies to pieces with it, and you can use the hard toothed saw blade to turn logs into planks. Leave your saws at home if you find one of these!

So we have three new machetes. What's so cool about that? How about the fact that instead of having to wear your machete on your back slot, you can wear all of these machetes on your belt instead!

Hatchet
A run-of-the-mill carpenter's hatchet.
Bearded Hatchet
A more viking-style carving hatchet.
Bowie Knife
A very sharp and effective hunting knife.
Spears for each machete (except the sawback) and the bowie knife.
Axe (Fiberglass)
Similar to both the fire axe and the wood axe, but with one HUGE improvement. The handle is made of nylon-fiberglass composite which makes it exceptionally durable! The downside being that once you do break this fine tool, wood glue won't help you repair it...
Axe-Maul
An absolute behemoth, this massive splitting axe is exactly what your woodcutting efforts will need. It also has a nylon-fiberglass handle and because of its size and weight, you can bust through a wall with this thing! Just like a sledgehammer, but better!
2 different types of Wakizashi
Let's be honest, we all want to find a Katana at some point. Did you ever wonder why we didn't have Wakizashis too? Well now we do! It's very similar to the Katana, but both the blade and the handle are shorter, allowing you to use this fine collector's item as a onehanded weapon AND attach it to your belt.
1 new variation to the Katana
It's just another Katana with a different style handle, that's all.

And last but not least...
Swiss Army Knife
The absolutely fantastic multi-tool that will help YOU survive far longer in the zombie apocalypse. Forgot your can opener at home? Don't worry, the swiss has one! Caught a big fish but you don't have anything sharp enough to slice it? Flick out that lil' blade! Wanna tear up that worn leather jacket into strips? Use the little scissor-thing! Can't disassemble that annoying door or attach something to your gun because you forgot your screwdriver? Of course it has a tiny screwdriver-head in it! Sadly this awesome thing is so tiny that you can't use it as a weapon. Why would you even want to though?

Repairing
I've put in new repair recipes for all the stuff in this mod AND for the basegame Katana as well. You can fix up anything and everything in this mod with duct tape, adhesive tape and glue. Everything that has a wood handle can also be fixed with wood glue.

About balance
Since being able to carry machetes on the belt is such a huge bonus, my machetes do a bit less both normal and critical damage than the basegame one.
The new katana and both wakizashis are almost just as rare as the basegame katana. I've given them a few additional but still highly unlikely spawn points. If you want them in your single player runs, you have two options. Either just use cheat mode to get them or dig into the loot tables and edit them for yourself for higher spawn rates.
I designed this mod primarily for my server, which is a vanilla+ style one. This means that the loot tables are very similar to the basegame loot tables. For example the Axe-Maul is exactly as rare and difficult to find as sledgehammers are. There are a couple of new spots where my stuff can spawn in though, so be vigilant when looting!

Credits
Massive kudos to AnOutdatedMind for creating the 3D model for the sawback machete!

Do not reupload any of my stuff without my permission. It took a lot of my spare time to get this mod done.

I did think about that when I first added the swiss to this mod, but then I thought no. Because I don't think any IRL swiss has an actual needle in it that you could thread with. :P
