(I really hope someone does. It's quite easy to get too many tool options for pawns to carry for all their jobs. Build a tool chest everyone draws from and puts back when they're done...)

Very nice. Would be nice if, as Thilenios mentions, there was a way to automatically have pawns seek out a relevant tool if it's stockpiled somewhere- But I accept that's beyond the scope of this mod.

@Thilenios Correct
Thilenios 23 Jul @ 6:37pm 
I am guessing this only covers using the tools, and not actually finding and equipping the tools?

It seems to already be working for Setosa's Power Tools
JACK 20 Jul @ 2:04pm 
+1 to adding setosa to the list despite it not being the original mod description :) theirs is a great mod!

Pawns don't switch to tools that have "General labour speed" or "Global work speed" when crafting something :(

Workaround is to keep those tools in hands as default ones but still...

There is soft incompatibility with [SheathYourSword],
As I know,NewRatkinPlus and Miho use [SheathYourSword],
It's just a visual error, not displaying tools when colonizers are working with them.
There is no problem with switching functions.

Great mod, love it! May I also recommend compaibility between this and "Medieval tools"?
Eidolan 13 Nov, 2024 @ 3:21pm 
So with Simple Sidearms I'm getting this issue I'll copy my question from there:

"Can someone tell me the logic of how this mod selects tools? IE: I keep having pawns pull out mallets that up stone cutting speed to sew cloth fiber instead of using their "tool kits" that increase general labor speed. Mod does fine with some tools like using a mining pick for mining or scythe for plant cutting but anything where the general labor tool would be the best fit they never seem to want to use them."

Any idea if using this mod for tool use would solve this issue?

@Eidolan I dont know if those mods auto switches between different tools
Eidolan 26 Sep, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
If you already have a mod like simple side arms does this mod improve it's tool functions or is this for people who are not using side arm type mods?
gRaveyard 12 Aug, 2024 @ 5:27am 
@halfman @Mlie, that mod specifically states that Grab Your Tool is *not* supported, you have to use Simple Sidearms instead.

Mlie  [author] 11 Aug, 2024 @ 1:33am 
@Halfman Any tool should be supported, as long as it has a stat-boost of some kind
Halfman 11 Aug, 2024 @ 1:30am 
Tools o' Plenty, is that mod supported?
Boog 10 Aug, 2024 @ 1:52am 
Kind of an odd issue but I noticed when pawns are working in a quarry from the Quarry mod, they switch between the Shovel (VWE) and Pickaxe (VE Content Restoration mod), likely because they both have the same stat (+Mining Speed), however they should logically only use the pickaxe, which has a higher speed boost (I give them both because the shovel also improves plant work)
Otherwise haven't noticed any issues, works amazing
Ryan 11 Jul, 2024 @ 8:54am 
@tanyfilina yea i 2nd that would be awesome if it can be patched
tanyfilina 1 Jul, 2024 @ 1:43am 
Could you please add a patch for Survival Tools (Continued) mod? I've just checked, it doesn't work as is.
Mlie  [author] 15 Apr, 2024 @ 10:59am 
@GrislyGaming93 They need to have the tool picked up. So you need a mod that let you keep tools in the inventory
GrislyGaming93 15 Apr, 2024 @ 10:52am 
i think i am understanding this mod wrong, do pawns go pick up the tool to use it from storage, or do they have to already have it in their inventory? i am under the impression of the former, and if that is not the case, is there a way to add that function or a mod that does what i am asking?

also thank you for keeping all these mods alive.
pikakirby11 15 Feb, 2024 @ 12:16pm 
Ok, thank you!
Mlie  [author] 15 Feb, 2024 @ 12:12pm 
@pikakirby11 It should work with any equipment
pikakirby11 15 Feb, 2024 @ 12:09pm 
Hey sorry if someone already asked you this but will this mod work with Dark Ages Medieval Tools?
Lurmey 28 Jan, 2024 @ 9:29am 
Ah okay, I'll have to modify the tools locally to add the correct stat buff then. Thanks
Mlie  [author] 27 Jan, 2024 @ 6:53am 
@Lurmey Pawns will equip a tool if the stats on it matches those defined on the recipe. If a recipe has smithing as workskill, the tool with the highest smithing skill will be equipped
Lurmey 27 Jan, 2024 @ 6:01am 
Hey Mlie, does this mod intelligently check the stats that affect the stat governing the current job? For instance, I have my smith making a hammer on the smithy, the work speed is governed by "Weapon Creation Speed" (Vanilla Skills Expanded) which is modified by Smithing speed, which is then again modified by General Labor Speed and then Global Work Speed. He's got a wrench which buffs General Labor Speed & Smithing Speed, but not Weapon Creation Speed directly. Simple Sidearms won't make him switch to it, so would this mod do a better job of handling that?

Thanks
harrydubois 17 Dec, 2023 @ 1:03am 
The jackhammer and power drill from Toolmetrics(Redux) dont get switched when working
Void 7 Dec, 2023 @ 2:33pm 
Thr thimble and forge hammer from toolmetrics dont autoswitch when tailoring or smithing
Mlie  [author] 4 Dec, 2023 @ 10:57am 
@GrislyGaming93 What tool in that mod doesnt work?
GrislyGaming93 4 Dec, 2023 @ 6:56am 
Anyway to add support for Vanilla Items Expanded Pack ?
Osetrokarasek 31 Aug, 2023 @ 9:50am 
seems like there's a problem with "More than capable" mod, pacifist pawns can't equip tools

and also it would be nice if you could remove mood debuff from wearing tools on pacifists by default
Terodeness 13 Aug, 2023 @ 12:10am 
@mile Yeah I have encountered same thing with pawn not switching to tool with global labour speed using Industrial drill from
Power Tools , I'm using De-generalize, CE, Performance optimizer and Performance Fish. It worked with Simple Sidearms but that mod was misbehaving way more so I had to get rid of it. :)
Mlie  [author] 2 Jul, 2023 @ 11:20pm 
@Rubber Ducky It might be the removal of variuos work-speeds that was done after this mod was made. Try adding the ”De-Generalize” mod and see if it works better. I know one or two of the tools mods requires it since they make more sense with it.
Rubber Ducky 2 Jul, 2023 @ 9:57pm 
@mile, still no luck. Also seems the Rimmsqol works if i add plantworking speed on any random item my planters use it. I assume this mod checks for a relevant stat when doing work? is it just missing art sculpting?
Mlie  [author] 25 Jun, 2023 @ 1:17pm 
@Rubber Ducky Im not sure how rimmsqol edits things, can you verify by testing a tool that has the stats from the start and see if its due to the editing?
Rubber Ducky 25 Jun, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
@mlie I was using it with a magnetic screwdriver (from Gimmicks) that adds +25% global labor speed edited in with RIMMSQOL. And global sculpting speed is derived from labor speed. Not sure how the mod decides what to pick for the job but even changing it to the screwdriver manually with pocket sand they still switch back to their default.
Mlie  [author] 24 Jun, 2023 @ 10:12pm 
@Rubber Ducky Can you be more specific on what tools you tested with?
Rubber Ducky 24 Jun, 2023 @ 7:16pm 
Pawns aren't equipping general labor speed increases when sculpting :(
Zanklev™ 17 Jun, 2023 @ 1:26pm 
I found out a crash that can occur with this mod and "Hunter's use melee" if you have a pawn that has a gun equipped but is using a melee tool while mining or chopping a tree, then you have them interrupt that action with a force hunt, they will switch to their rifle but still try to go melee a creature, right as they get into melee range the game will crash.
SleepyFaraday 9 Apr, 2023 @ 4:20pm 
Any way to stop them putting their tools back in storage all the time? They'll keep them for a while, but eventually put them back in the stockpile.
NeoG 9 Apr, 2023 @ 1:37pm 
It doesn't give me an option to pick the tools from VE Weapons. There no option to pick them up but no error
Mlie  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 2:50am 
@qux Not sure, perhaps depending on the slot they use
qux 31 Mar, 2023 @ 2:48am 
oh ok thanks, is there something in the code of the tool that would cause some are visible and some not?
Mlie  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 2:20am 
@qux They are visible when I tested it. Might be depending on the tool itself.
