Tools

Tools are an immersive part of Horizon's looting and crafting system, and have been expanded to be easier to work with and have become a more interesting part of the environment

Common Tools
Instead of having to convert tools into "Tool Kits", each tool is now a junk item that counts as 1 generic tool
 * "Tool Kits" are now called "Common Tools" (which act as a crafting component)
 * Items such as hammers, screwdrivers, etc. each count as 1 Common Tool now
 * When you use a recipe that requires Common Tools, it will automatically scrap any valid tools (just like standard junk items)
 * Common Tools replace specific saws and other tools in recipes, such as when building steel yards
 * A few junk items were converted to common tools: tongs, blowtorches, institute spanners
 * You can craft Common Tools with a high amount of Salvaging and Metalworking skill*
 * The following WEAPONS will scrap into Common Tools: Pipe Wrenches, Tire Irons, Micro-Sledges, Sledgehammers, Ball-Peen Hammers

Kitchen Tools
Various cookware junk items are now classified as "Kitchen Tools"
 * Items include: sauce pans, cooking pots, coffee pots, tea kettles, spatulas, etc.
 * Most of these items used to give complete trash (like 1 steel), so they now at least serve some type of useful purpose (even if its minor)
 * This category consists of cookware that would ideally be "usable and durable" pre-war items, so they serve a good use in this environment
 * Some recipes require Kitchen Tools now (such as food vendors)
 * Kitchen Tools can also be "dumped" in the Trading Market, by trading them to a trader for useful resources
 * Generally speaking, these items aren't difficult to acquire, but they add some immersive flavor to loot and trading
 * The following WEAPONS will scrap into Kitchen Tools: Spatulas, Frying Pans, Weighted Coffee Pots, Rolling Pins
 * You can craft Kitchen Tools with a high amount of Metalworking skill*
 * NOTE: Since coffee pots were a source asbestos, other junk with asbestos has been INCREASED to give more asbestos now
 * (Items such as glassware and dishware are unchanged, and will remain as items which give glass and ceramic.. which already serves its purpose)

Simple Tools
Simple janitorial/household type tools are now classified as "Simple Tools"
 * Items include: shovels, hoes, mops, brooms, paint brushes, plungers
 * Most of these items used to give complete trash (like 1 steel or wood), so they now at least serve some type of useful purpose (even if its minor)
 * A few recipes require Simple Tools now
