Tool Damage!

Isn't it funny that you can use the same old hammer five billion times and it'll never break? Not anymore! This realism mod makes it so using tools for any task has the chance to cause wear damage on them.

How does it work?

Every time you use any tool, be it a standard game tool, or a modded one, there is a small chance that the tool will receive some damage! The higher your proficiency in the skill you are utilizing, as well as your maintenance skill, the smaller the change that your tools will receive damage when you use them.

Additionally, several tools can now be utilized as improvised weapons in a pinch! This doesn't interefere with their regular game mechanics.

Customization

This mod is completely customizable through Sandbox Options! You can configure things such as how much damage the tools receive, and their durability.
