FEATURES:

- New fresh models and textures for almost all melee weapons from game. Everything is created and optimized for better quality without losing performance! - Over 40+ new lore-friendly weapons which exists in 1993. Nothing weird or futuristic, just real tools and weapons! - Melee weapons from the original game has been gently and carefully rebalanced. Now every weapon feels bit unique and different from each other! - Slightly adjusted mechanics for Short Blade and Short Blunt weapons to make them better. Now you don't have to run around with crowbars or axes, because they are simply stronger than the rest. - Fixed icons. Finally, the color of Screwdriver on the icon is the same as its game model! - Now you can use Tree Branch as weapon. Yes, you read it right! - Fixed blood overlay. Now blood on weapons will appear where it should - at the point of impact! - Spears made from branches and spears made from planks are now visually different now. Small but nice detail! - New recipes for upgrading your Baseball Bats. Wanted to wrap some wire around a bat? Now it's possible! - New recipes for creating improvised weapons. Make Axe from Shovel, convert Broom into a spear, and saw a Long Metal Pipe into a short version! - Fixed recipes for creating spears. Now you can make spears with good condition, also making spears does not depend on the Carpentry skill, and weapons can also be attached with Scotch Tape! - Submod "Easy spear Attachments" will allow you to attach weapons to spears with Twine and Adhesive tape!

FAQ:

Is it safe to add or remove a mod from a current game? I recommend starting a new game with the mod, but it's not necessary. You can add mod in current game, but most changes will only affect weapons that have not yet been found by the players. All existing Tree Branches will disappear, because their item type was changed but you still be able to get new ones. You can remove mod from current game, but most changes will only affect weapons that have not yet been found by the players. All existing Tree Branches will disappear, because their item type was changed but you still be able to get new ones. All spears made from planks will disappear.
