Homemade Pickaxe (For Dynamic Mining)

Homemade Pickaxe for every digging enthusiast - created to work along with Dynamic Mining mod.
It provides a makeshift alternative for vanilla Pickaxe, but its condition decreases pretty quick when used as a weapon.
Created by nheve, for Ricksdetrix request.

Homemade Pickaxe have its own pixel icon and a custom model with its own texture.

Recipe for Homemade Pickaxe:
2x Tree Branch
2x Ripped Sheets
1x Chipped Stone
1x Stone

Homemade Pickaxe have ConditionMax value of 13, and ConditionLowerChanceOneIn = 1. That means it has the same condition (and damage too) as original Pickaxe, but with each valid hit in combat the value always decreases by 1, so it breaks pretty quickly when you are using it for bashing zeds.

The main purpose for this item is to be an easier to obtain alternative for the original Pickaxe - to use with the recipes from Dynamic Mining mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963057869

Another important feature is that the initial condition of crafted Homemade Pickaxe depends on your character Carpentry level. You can also 'reinforce' your Pickaxe with Wood Glue or Glue - which would restore its condition, also by a value dependent on Carpentry level.

With level 0 carpentry you can create the pickaxe in condition between 1 - 4.
Level 1 gives condition between 4-6.
Level 2-4 gives 6-9.
Level 5-7 gives 8-10
Level 8-9 gives 10-13
Level 10 gives 12-13

Reinforcing the pickaxe:
Level 0 increases condition by 1
Level 1 increases by 2
Level 2-4 increases by 3
Level 5-7 increases by 4
Level 8-9 increases by 6
Level 10 increases by 8

Condition value will never go beyond 13 - for example, if you have level 10 and if you reinforce pickaxe that has condition of 10, the final value will still be 13 and not 18. I think it creates a healthy balance for reinforcing.
