Simple Sidearm's in-game functionality recognizes tools as weapons, which means they take up sidearm space. However, Simple Sidarm's configuration options do not recognize tools as weapons, which prevents a player from excluding them as sidearm options. This makes some of the possible mod configurations for Simple Sidarms (e.g. limiting pawns to only 1 sidearm, which is what I use) impossible to use while also allowing pawns to have access to their necessary survival tools, since those tools will take up that sidearm space.

Is it possible to include a mod option that makes tools non-weapon items? If not, would you be able to describe to me the xml edits necessary to make tools not weapons so I can do this personally? I am unfortunately not knowledgeable enough about xml editing to know how to do this while ensuring I'm not making any xml breaking errors
