This mod adds 4 powered tools for industrial society, the chainsaw, the grinder, the jackhammer and the drill

All Tools are made at the machining bench. And require Steel, Industrial Components and Chemfuel to make.










I wanted to make these primarily tools, but also be effective as weapons in a pinch.

"tree cutting" isn't its own type of work, so the chainsaw also helps you sow and harvest plants, likewise the drill helps crafters make clothes at the tailoring bench but in my opinion mods that de-generalize work (such as adding tree cutting or smithing as their own stats) would make these tools too niche
how often are you really cutting down trees anyway?


Use one of these mods so that pawns actually use the tools when working.
