Hi, they removed all tools, we don't know why they doing this ?
Technical choice or "political" choice ?

oh ok, maybe it was a bit OP? Thanks for telling me!

I think only me can judge how my game works x)
If the modder want to change this, he can add a setting to custom it ^^

There's nothing in the patch notes, these tools still appear in the mod's description, and the mod hasn't been updated since Oct 20th. I think it's safe to assume this is a bug rather than intentional.

You're wrong :

Update on 10/20/2022 12:10:17 PM.
Removed Wrench.
Removed Cleaver.
Removed Scalpel.
Removed Pickaxe.
Removed research project: Tools.
Halberd - Armor penetration from 70% to 30%
Hammer - Construction speed from +33% to +8%, Construct success chance from +25% to +6%, General labor speed from +10% to +3%
Hatchet - Plant work speed from +33% to +5%
Crossbow - Reduced armor penetration from 66% to 20%
Stun grenades - Reduced radius by 1 and increased cooldown by 1s.

My guess is it'll be added in a small stand alone mod. Vanilla Tools Expanded or something.

The graphics are still there and the various defs are in the 1.3 version. I just added them back into the 1.4 xml files.

I just pulled this from the 1.3 files so balance was whatever the final 1.3 was at.

could u post the github

Any update on if this was on purpose or a bug? I see some are still in like the shovel and hammer, but not wrench or cleaver etc.

I absolutely don't understand why they removed these tools that everyone loved, what's the idea?
