📋 About This Mod
Enables workbenches during combat
There was another mod that did this, however it caused enemies to think that workbenches were something they could use to defend themself. I tried to edit the keyword to change that but couldn't figure it out. Instead, I just removed the keyword from the workbench that gets used most often by enemies: the cooking stations.
This means that you won't be able to cook during combat, but neither will the enemy. This does leave the chance for enemies to use the other workbenches, however there are far less of those workbenches than there are cooking stations. Not a perfect fix but oh well!
(There is now a patch for The Mobile Mechanic!)
