Hunters Use Melee!
A small mod that allows hunters to make use of melee weapons to do their job as well as ranged. As simple as that :)
It is also safe to add or remove from a savegame. The mod doesn't make lasting changes to the game.
Now featuring!: Support for non-weapon hunting (using fists) and for Simple Sidearms, a mod I highly recommend :) Both are optional and can be enabled in the new mod settings menu.
About
This is a complete and original reimplementation of the concept set forth by "Melee Hunting" made by LockdownX7 and maintained by Keeper.
Keeper's version still uses the old detours method (pre-Harmony method used during Alpha).
This mod however uses Harmony and tries to be as minimal as possible, to run as clean as it can.
Supported Versions and Requirements
This mod is made for RimWorld 1.1 to 1.3 and requires Harmony 2.x
