Better Nails is a Vintage Story mod by spiker51. Better Nails makes higher-quality metals produce more nails, giving valuable alloys a practical advantage in construction.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who find it wasteful to use expensive metals for single nail batches and want a more rewarding crafting progression.
What Better Nails adds
Better Nails changes nail output according to the metal used. Cheap materials such as lead, tin, zinc, bismuth and molybdochalkos remain inefficient, while iron, meteoric iron and meteoric steel provide progressively larger yields.
The progression also covers common alloys and precious metals: brass and tin bronze are moderate, bismuth bronze and black bronze are better, and gold, silver and electrum sit below them. The same yield logic applies when working through nail molds.
The mod is designed to recognize properly implemented added metals, ingots and nail molds, so expansion content can benefit without replacing its core crafting purpose. A default configuration is included for players who want to adjust the behavior.
