Better Pickaxes and Drills - Repairs

This mod a type of repair system forl pickaxes and drills. This is the second mod in my Better Pickaxes and Drills series.

Way back in early beta we used to be able to use ore to directly repair our pickaxes and drills. While this mod does not enable that same scripting it does add a new crafting station that achives this. The station itself is also from the old betas, the metalwork station, which I renamed the mining station. How it works is pretty simple. You bring your old worn out tool to the station (the idea is to carry it with you and place it as needed). You will need some unrefined ore, lava, and water. Drills also require AA batteries. The craft consumes your old tool and gives you a new one with 100% durability to simulate repairs! The station itself is craftable in your tier 1 inventor's table. All pickaxes and drills can be repaired without needing to upgrade the station. While the Matter Manipulator is amazingly good at full upgrades the diamond drill is still a bit better for certain things and of course picks and drills are a much better alternative for early to mid game. This mod does not add the ability to create picks and drills from scratch. If you find a pick and wish to keep it do not let it break. If you have multiple [type] pickaxes in your inventory the game will use the first one going from top row right, then following that pattern on all rows. See the screenshot.

This mod aims to remove much of the grind that the default Matter Manipulator strength results in. I have at least one more mod planned for my "Better Pickaxes and Drills" series.

For best results please use along with my Better Pickaxes and Drills - Durability
