RecyclingTools

[1.3.0] - 2025-05-22

Added

• Metal Recovery System: Comprehensive metal recycling system for tools and tool parts
  • Two-stage recycling process: First dismantle tools to recover parts, then process parts to recover metal bits
  • Support for various tools including knives, axes, swords, pickaxes, and more
  • Material hierarchy respect: Base metal tools can only be processed with equal or higher hardness chisels
  • Balanced recovery rates:
    • Small items (arrowheads): 1-2 metal bits
    • Medium items (knife blades, axe heads): 3-5 metal bits
    • Large items (helve hammer heads): 8-10 metal bits
    • Very large items (anvil parts): 15-20 metal bits
  • Steel chisels provide better efficiency with less durability cost and more recovered material

Features

• Appropriate naming and labels for all recycling recipes
• Consistent recipe format for easy mod maintenance and expansion
• Economic balance to ensure recycling remains valuable but not exploitable
• Integration with xSkills mod forging mechanics
• Durability transfer from tools to recovered parts

Technical

• Organized recipe structure in JSON files
• Consistent use of tool durability costs based on metal hardness
• Standardized metal type handling for all supported metals
• Simplified recipe structure for easier maintenance

Balance

• Recovery rates adjusted based on original crafting costs
• Steel chisel bonus for skilled crafters (+1 to +5 metal bits depending on item size)
• Balanced durability costs for processing tools

Known Issues

• Tool dismantling with the same tool type (e.g., axe to axe) can cause conflicts and requires using different tools for dismantling
