hello you can post an updated version of the mod
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1838976414

Needs an update for version 1.2 of Rimworld.

nevermind the belt picture have been disable from in game wearing but other thant that go to your repertory go text about add line:<li>1.2</li> under <li>1.1</li>. and its listed for 1.2 only thing is that now toolbelt appear very big on pawn .

since 1.2 don't seem to have change a lot on ressources or else i look if just changing the number of version will work.

1.2?

@Eviale idk how much of the resources are used for it but not everyone has plasteel and if i remember correctly the tools brake after some use which makes the use of electric tools even bigger of a problem, though i still should agree with moving the "industrial" tools into medieval

does the drill increase yield from deep drills?

save friendly?

Same with the hammer and axe, no one in their right mind would make those over the electric versions since they're unlocked at the same time. As it stands right now, there are no tools to be made in the medieval phase of the game for tribal start players.

Regarding the below, I'd suggest that the pickaxe be moved to medieval instead of industrial. There's no point in making the pickaxe when you unlock the drill with the same research.

That was an awesome read and I will run a test run with adjusted technology levels. Next week is gonna be busy for me, but maybe I'll get to it in the evening time.
Thank you for your input!!

I only play tribal start and I am happy with balance as it is.
Do you have any argument why I should change it? Convince me :)

Ought to make the axe tribal and the chainsaw industrial.

When using Fluffy's Mod Manager, this mod throws a yellow error due to the github Mainfest.xml being 404: Not Found.

Updated to 1.1
Please report any problems, I haven't fully tested it but it should work as intended.

Also to adress any past comments...
Tools need to be equipped to give a bonus.
This mod never was designed to auto switch between tools. And it never will.
The number of tools is small by design, it's actually the main reason I maintain this mod. There will be at least one more tool in the future, as soon as my girlfriend draws a texture for it, code is already done.
The non violence issue never came to my mind... Pawns are capable would be a fix, but I'll look into it!

Will this be getting a 1.1/dlc version?

The tool belts give bonuses when worn, but I don't think the individual tools give their bonuses unless they're actively equipped.

Is being in the inventory sufficient to get the bonuses? Or does the tool have to be equipped?

do they auto equip from storage the right tool for the right job?

I was a fan of the original mod, especially because it seemed to incorporate automatic tool switching when needed. But that feature seems to be gone as of 1.0 and Survival Tools does everything this mod does it seems.

How about adding crafting tools and belts with bonus to smith, craft, tailor and art both speed and quality if possible?

...but there are already tool belts in this mod.....

Could we get bonuses listed with each tool? I have been burned by so many mods like this that are just plain OP.

And "underling. X" has a really good point. Maybe the tools could be part of a backpack or clothing mod, representing them using tool belts instead of weapons?

I'm not sure if you'll be able to fix this because tools are "weapons" but pawns incapable of violence aren't able to use tools

Yes, I used to use that mod, but was incompatible with SeedsPlease. It also seemed to be the second-longest-loading mod on the workshop after Alien Framework :o

The mod "Survival Tools" does exactly that :) Check it out here on Steam.
I'm working on a test version with changes underling mentioned tho, that would balance it a bit I guess.

>For now this mod has no real downside in terms of game difficulty,

I think it'd pretty cool to have a hardcore difficulty version where basically the idea is that having a tool is *normal* and would grant vanilla work speeds, and going without a tool is a penalty. When it's the other way around and it's just giving bonuses beyond vanilla, I find it makes the game easier in general.

i'm not sure if this is possible but since tools have a quality could the bonus be determined on the quality of the tool (awful 2.5 % - legendary 15%) also would i be possible to have the tool deteriorate with use and have the effect bonus?(awful tool base 2.5% bonus for 100 % hp to 50 % changing bonus to 1.25%)

Ah okay. Thanks

The difference between this mod and Survival Tools is that this mod doesn't change the default workspeeds but instead gives a bonus when using a tool. For now this mod has no real downside in terms of game difficulty, but that may change in the future.
The tools are meant to be (albeit bad, except the chainsaw) melee weapons as well so there is no option to disble them as sidearms.

How does this compare to Survival Tools? And does this have an option to disable the tools showing up as sidearm melee weapons? (Do they double as weapons anyway?)

Thank you for testing underling. All the described behaviour is intended.

plays well with duel wield, can't duel tools. While in side arm position no bonus is added, thanks for the mod :D

Oh nice, it's back! I loved this mod. Thanks for doing this.

Simple sidearms should work out of the box, I am more than happy to provide any patches needed to make it as compatible as possible.
Right now I'm working on CE patches, so if you could test dual wield and report back I'd be thankful.

compatible with duel wield and simple side arms?
