just wanted to update. so i am new ish to this game had it awhile.. and im not stupid but i had problems with another mod and upon reading i found out that when you are adding mods to an existing game. Go load>more>Choose mods. and enable to the ones and then load game actually made alot of mods work... i wasnt aware of this, i thought just subscribing to them and enabling them was all i had to do.. turns out do this above... thanks again great mod lol and hopefully this helps others

Also the mod doesn't work in build 42

@JaCrispy No, You need to saw off the head and you need to have 3 levels in woodwork. Then you can create a new one. The steam pictures are old theres new crafting for it but you should be able to find it.

Can somebody help me please? I’m not getting any crafting options and I’m afraid to continue using my wood axe If this is not gonna work does it have to be broken for it to work? I’m please help me thank you.

Brother, please update the mod to version 42, I can’t live without it)

it will be great if wood axe has that swing like fire one

@Not a Hero Yeah, only this one. It was a personal mod I made for myself, but it looks like a lot of people liked it as well. If you want a mod like that, I recommend you the: Axe's recrafting mod. It is linked above my Mod ID

Only this axe? Nope for fire axe, other axes?

The recipe doesn't recognize the Wood Axe as a ingredient so I can't remove Axe Head from the Wood Axe.

Help I can't remove Axe Head even though I have saw and hammer

@RzLooa I have never tried it. But if it only changes the models and no base game ids and names and such then it should work

does this mod work with https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3052668642 ???

Does it actually consume the knife, hammer, etc? Just wondering since it says "One of" and not "Keep one of"

Best mod.

@AnKo Cuz it will breake beyond repair at some point. Also you save on duct tape. And it's realistic.

Why would you craft a wood axe if you already have a wood axe??? Would make more sense if you could make the axe head...

@Iherbir You can also see it if you scroll down in the "survival" crafting menu. I know it's a little complicated but people suggested to balance the mod and also it's pure realism this way.

@Iherbir So the mod changed over time with the crafting recipe. It's more complicated, balanced, and realistic now. You need wood scrap too, a hammer, either oil or wood glue, and level 3 carpentry.

Hey, I separated the axe head and crafted the handle. I have the scrap metal in my inventory but I can't recraft the axe. Any suggestions?

made a small change to require scrap wood for a shim and log instead of plank, awesome mod! thank you

@Dee Thanks. Go to the pinned "Translations" and translate it to your own langauge. You will find everything there.

I'd like to help with Turkish translation if that's possible!

Can you guys help me to translate the mod for better user experience?Google translater is kinda trash.

Thanks G

Ah okay that makes sense, and I agree, I was just a bit confused as to how to find axe heads, I didnt realize you just saw them off, pretty solid mod.

@Chains in a pickle The whole purpose of the mod is that If you have an already existing axe you can repair it realistically. But you can't just make axes out of the blue.

@Chains in a pickle! If your axe is broken because you used it up. You can saw off the handle. Then if you have level 2 carpentry you can make a new one and hammer the head of the on to it. And you basically get a basically get a brand new axe.

So in summary you "get" the axe head if you saw off the handle of the axe.
And you can make a new handle from wood if you have the right tools and skills.

"- You can't craft an axehead only a new handle"

"- The axehead and handle don't spawn in the world"

So how are you actually supposed to make use of the mod? If the axehead doesn't spawn in the world, and isnt craftable, how do you obtain one without cheats?

this mod is a life saver

yep

Just for a woodcutter's axe?

I forgot to mention You already can use scrap wood but I guess you already found out. Mentioned it with the "new crafting recipes" but I was and still I am working on the Ultimate Occupations right now so I didn't have the time to update it properly.

@ISTHATAJOJOREFERENCE You're Welcome! Enjoy it :)

Can't wait to use this. I would suggest being able to use scrap wood, as some people use wooden wedges to secure the axe head onto the handle. Thank you for making this mod!

@BigTimeGamer Thanks But I don't have any other mod yet.

oh you actualy link the recrafting mod thats kool ima checkout ur other mods

yep this mod dose already
i think the name is axe recrafting
that mod also allow's you to repair the fireaxe and handaxe in the same way
handaxe needs metal tho

@ihatefallout I get the idea. But that would make this very simple mod unnecessarily complicated. I purposley made this mod very simple so it would not interfere with other mods and would still work after updates. Your idea would be very good if it would be for all the axes but then I would basically stole someones's mod. Cuz I think something like this already exists.

@Abysti Thats true. I was wondering since you're making a new handle from wood that you fell, if lets say lock it behind maybe level 2 or 3 carpentry, which gives it 30% durability due to the wooden handle when crafted, scaling to 100% durability at level 10 carpentry?

@ihatefallout plus you would need to constantly make new handles and that would be annoying

@ihatefallout No it wouldn't be. But changing an axe handle is that easy in irl too so it's realistic. Also, metalworking has nothing to do with changing a handle. And If you play vanilla it might be easy but I play with extremely rare loot and I couldn't find a saw over +10 days in-game.

I think this is too easy to make the axe. Would it be hard to introduce carpentry and metal working into how much durability the new axe has?

Cool mod. It really never made sense to me that essentially you're repairing the handle with wood glue etc but then just couldn't repair the handle for some reason.

I came to accept that well it's because they want stuff to be scarce.


@Mila Lucky doesn't actually help you find rare items. They're so rare the boost is actually rounded down and is equal to Unlucky (which is rounded up)

In that case you would only be finding additional common items with it.

Still a good trait IMO.

@Great_Puffer I usually pair Insanely Rare with the Lucky trait, it balances everything out where typical low tier weapons are hard to find, but when you do find a weapon, it's an insanely good and rare weapon like these Wood Axes, Sledgehammer, etc2. Give it a try, although I give myself that extra 4 points to take the Lucky trait for free

you play with insanely rare? i used to but it was too rare

I feel like you should just be able to craft a wood axe
