Salty´s Manual: Tool Crafting is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater. Salty’s Manual: Tool Crafting lets you assemble tools by holding a tool head and using the right mouse button.
Why this mod is worth installing
This utility mod suits players who want tool making to feel more physical and less dependent on grid recipes. It is especially useful for a streamlined survival workflow inspired by the game’s manual scraping mechanics.
What Salty´s Manual: Tool Crafting adds
The crafting process starts when you place any suitable tool head, blade, or similar working part in your main hand and hold the right mouse button. The mod then assembles the corresponding tool through a manual interaction rather than a conventional tool-grid recipe.
All required materials must be available in the toolbar, so preparation happens directly in the hotbar. By default, the regular grid recipes for tools are disabled, making the manual method the primary way to create them.
The mod is designed with modded tools in mind as well, provided their item assets follow the expected game conventions. This keeps the interaction predictable without adding a separate crafting interface.
Manual tool assembly
The player holds a tool head in the main hand and holds the right mouse button to begin crafting. All needed materials must be placed in the toolbar.
