Small Hands - Greydwarf Laborers

Description

This mod turns Greydwarves into helpful, autonomous workers that can gather resources, process materials, and assist with the day-to-day work of your base. Sneak up on a Greydwarf and tame it by placing Ancient Seeds nearby, then bring your new companion home and assign it a job. Laborers can forage for resources, chop trees, transport materials, operate kilns and furnaces, and move items between storage and supported workstations . With multiple Greydwarves, you can create complete production chains where one worker gathers or produces resources for another, allowing your workforce to handle everything from collecting raw materials to processing them into useful resources. Greydwarves can be upgraded by feeding them Ancient Seeds to increase their star level, and configurable health regeneration helps keep your workers healthy. While working, laborers are protected from attacks, while they remain vulnerable when following you. Their inventories are dropped if they die, allowing you to recover resources they were carrying. Keep track of your workers with map pins that display their locations and current activities, and optionally allow foraging laborers to mark resources they discover when using the Pin It integration. Your Greydwarves also have personalities, reacting to their surroundings and commenting on what they encounter while working around your settlement. A variety of configuration options let you customize the taming process, worker behavior, health regeneration, and whether laborers can continue working while you are away from the area. Build your own little workforce and let your Greydwarves take care of the chores while you focus on exploring, building, fighting, and surviving.
