White tools.Arm your peasants, for they are always the first to be attacked!Hi guys! So, this is the white tools mod. You see I have noticed that a lot of people have
this idea about using workshops as an easy training method. I never liked that very much, it
always felt a little cheep to me, and I personally remove this option from my game. Although
I guess there WAS good reason for some of these free training methods, I mean who liked
dabbling workers?
But still, it always felt like cheating to me, and so I made white tools. It features
several weapons that are to e used by your general population of workers, rather then in
your primary military. These weapons have the advantage of using general skills, rather then
combat skills, meaning that invasions offer a great chance for unskilled workers to gain
some easy skills, but it doesn't feel as much like cheating because they are very much
risking life and limb.
These weapons were not made to be good in combat. I'm very new to weapon modding and not yet
sure how it all works, but I do plan to nerf them further when I figure more things out.
This is also very fitting in the latest version of DF, because the ability to have your army
in uniform all the time means that you can have your workers carry around there fun new toys
constantly, and helps to maintain the fourth wall by giving the engraver a chance to use a
chisel.
From looking at the raws, I was hoping that workers would grab any item that relaes to
active skills, but as it turns out this only works for wood cutting and mining. Shame...
I do plan to add more weapons and other improvements as time goes on.
To install simply drag the two text documents into the objects file in your raws. IF your
currently using a mod that has new entitys in it then ONLY drag
item_weapon_training_by_max_white into the file, and then add the following into your entity
file.
