--- What does this mod do? ---

 

Having trouble finding a weapon besides Planks and Spoons on a pillaged multiplayer server? Broke all your weapons after an extended survival? Make some decent weaponry from basic materials!

 

This mod adds recipes to make clubs (1-handed) and bats (2-handed) from Planks, Duct Tape, Wood Glue, and a Saw. The idea is that you layer a few planks together with glue, use the saw to cut it into a rough shape, then wrap some tape around the handle. You need to have at least a basic understanding of Carpentry, and can make more durable weapons with a higher skill level. Master Carpenters can even make industrial-quality Bats and Clubs from a Log with a Saw (rough cuts) and a Hammer and Screwdriver (chiseling / carving). All clubs and bats can be made into a "nailed" version that sacrifices durability for more damage. All weapons are repairable with Woodglue, Duct Tape, Glue, and Scotch Tape. Nailed weapons can also be fixed with Nails.

 

Clubs are comparable to a hammer as a weapon, but are less durable (same as a Baseball Bat at Carpentry 8) and cannot be used to build. Homemade weapons (Carpentry 4) are slightly less durable, and Crude weapons (Carpentry 1) are even less durable and do a bit less damage. All weapons use vanilla Bat / Nail Bat artwork.

 

Crude weapons can use Glue as a replacement for Woodglue, and Twine as a replacement for Duct Tape in the recipes (Twine cannot be used to repair at this time) to give more options for materials in low-loot situations.

Recipes will not display unless you have ALL the items and the necessary skill.

Recipes display in-game as needing multiple glues / tapes / twines. This is the number of USES, not the number of rolls / bottles / spools needed. Woodglue and Twine = 5 uses, Duct Tape = 4 uses. All weapons in this mod can be made with just one full roll / bottle / spool of tape / glue / twine.

Repairing with Woodglue requires level 2 Carpentry.

Repairing with twine is not included because there aren't enough "slots" for repair items available for the nailed weapons at this time to include twine without removing a different item, as well as the fact that twine is not usable to repair anything else. Since this would make the repair recipes different than vanilla repair recipes, I've chosen not to enable twine as a repair item at this time.

Great! I would help a lot to your mod post to add some nice graphical recipes, but for now is lovely as it is.

[Dudeman325]

Updated to Build 29 / IWBUMS 30, with almost assured compatibility when Build 30 goes live. Finally got this thing updated to match the melee weapon update!

 

@Frenchiveruti I'm not sure what you mean by "graphical recipes." Should I post some screenshots of the recipes in game? This mod doesn't add any new sprites / models, the new items just use the default Baseball Bat art.

Thank you!
