Description
==========
This mod allows you to prepare materials and craft several different kinds of weapons and armor appropriate for an Ashlander. A full list is below.
With this mod, you can take a hide from a creature, place it on your portable tanning rack and cure it with salt. Make simple armor with it. Or grind roots or leaves into tannin to tan the cured hide on the rack to make it better. Or harden the leather with resin to make it stronger still. Loot chitin fragments (new with this mod) from shalks and kwama workers and warriors. Use your crafting tool to make chitin armor and weapons. Or if you're really good, craft "dark chitin" armor. The better your Armorer skill, the better chance you'll have to craft the materials and armor, and the better quality your crafted weapons and repair tools will be. Yes, you can craft repair tools.
