Tool set data: Which tools are interchangeable?

[FunnyMan3595]

As requested by @GlyphGryph, I've been looking into how tools are used. Between crafting and construction, I've generated a list of 47 unique "tool sets". A tool set is a group of tools that fill the same role in a recipe, e.g. various heat sources for cooking.

All I've got at the moment is the full, unsorted list, straight from the script that built it, but you could shuffle it around a bit in a text editor to draw up some broad tool classes pretty quickly.

Also worth noting is that it wouldn't be hard to adapt the construction.cpp parser to output JSON, should someone want to export them to data/raw/constructions.json. Just add in the last couple bits of data I ignored and pass the resulting object through pprint for nice indents.

It looks like tool sets could be classified as one of the following (with some room for debate on particulars:

Hammer: hammer, primitive_hammer, hammer_sledge, nailgun, hatchet, rock, toolset
Sewing: needle_bone, sewing_kit
Hacksaw: hacksaw, toolset
Heat: fire, toolset, lighter, hotplate, press
Snipping: scissors
Dig: shovel, primitive_shovel, digging_stick
Eye protection: goggles_welding
Crush/grind: toolset, rock
Screw: toolset, screwdriver
Tighten: toolset, screwdriver, wrench
Cut: broadsword, pockknife, knife_combat, toolset, knife_butcher, knife_steak, machete, or scalpel, (hatchet?)
Solder: soldering_iron, toolset
Chop: primitive_axe, ax, hatchet, chainsaw_on
Bullet: press
Pot/pan: pot, pan, rock_pot
Welding: toolset, welder
Tube: hose, bottle_glass
Spear: spear_wood, pointy_stick
Saw: saw

That's 19 in total, btw.

Just as a followup - this is proving quite useful now that I've implemented qualities.

And since qualities are implemented a fair bit at this point, closing.
