📋 About This Mod
Rework the skills related to grindstones and workbenches (armorer's table).
As of May 10, 2026, support for the Old-Gen (1. 32) version has ended.
PURPOSE OF THE MOD
This mod was originally a part of the Grindstone And Workbench Level Up Items mod, but it has been separated into a standalone mod and expanded with many additional features.
In Grindstone And Workbench Level Up Items, you cannot receive buffs from grindstones or workbenches (armorer's table) unless a specific option is enabled.
As a result, the vanilla runeword Preservation and the additional ability Meticulous Maintenance from Restored Content - Additional Perks become meaningless.
Therefore, I have decided to rework those skills.
This mod can be used on its own, even if you're not using Grindstone And Workbench Level Up Items.
