Zombie Tools - Modern Industrial Melee Weapons

Adds several industrial-level melee weapons for all your industrial-level melee weapon needs (mainly murder, I assume), based on weapons made by Zombie Tools.

From the Djinn to the One-Bit Bjorn, from the Diphos to the Sharkalope, a wide variety of melee weapons will be available for you to manufacture!

With the EBSG Framework, ZT Weapons will do 1.5x damage not just to stinky shamblers, but to all entities! And as a bonus, they will do 1.25x damage to mechanoids as well!

While they are all an improvement on standard Medieval-tier weaponry, the ZT Weapons have varied stats and designs to ensure you will always have a tool to suit your needs.
















































Notes
To make the ZT Weapons, you will need to research "machining" and then "industrial melee weapons". You can then make them at either the smithy or the machining table.
All weapons are designed to be a bit stronger and faster than comparable vanilla weapons since they are made with more modern methods.
All the weapons are "stuffable" which means they can be made with any metallic material you want and will change their color and stats to reflect that, so they wont all be white!
The weapons probably won't spawn on other pawns and raiders since they are tagged to only have medieval-tier melee weapons and an industrial melee tag doesn't exist in vanilla, but they can still probably be obtained as quest rewards or found by raiding settlements or work sites.
It is recommended, but not necessary, to enable the Vanilla Expanded Framework, as it is used to move the position of the weapons when equipped. Without it, the equipped weapons will be positioned a little weird.

Q & A!

Q: Why did you make this?
A: I thought there was a distinct lack of Industrial-level melee weapon mods and most of the weapons in Industrial Melee Weaponry seem to be more like makeshift weapons and tools rather than purpose-made weapons.

Q: Did Zombie Tools give you permission to make this?
A: Yes, I messaged them and they said it was fine.

Q: Is this a sponsored mod?
A: Not at all, I was just online looking for cool modern weapons and Zombie Tools seemed to fit the bill.

Q: Some of the weapon descriptions don't make any sense!
A: Not a question, and I just copied the descriptions straight from the ZT website lmao

Q: Will you be making additional weapon mods if and when Zombie Tools makes new weapons?
A: Probably not, I think I've already gone overboard with this mod.

Q: I don't like that all the weapons have a ZT prefix, can I remove it?
A: You can probably do it yourself with RIMMSqol by finding the weapon and changing the label.

Q: Why are some of the weapons in some of your images weird colors?
A: They are made with materials from a mod I've been working on for a while that just adds some new metals and I couldn't be bothered to redo the images.

Q: Are you so uncreative that you can't think of any original designs for modern-style weapons and have to use ones other people have made?
A: As it happens, yes.

Q: Is this compatible with X?
Q: The most accurate answer I can give is probably; this mod is entirely XML which means it is quite simple and unlikely to conflict.

Q: Is this CE Compatible?
A: Not a damn clue.
