Get An Axe – Improved axe combat

For the axe enjoyer who wants to chop more than just trees. This mod makes axes a viable melee weapon choice by adjusting their stats and introducing new perks and books related to axe combat.

New Perk: “Get An Axe”:

• Added to the Fortitude skill tree.
• each level Increases axe damage, block damage, stamina efficiency, and other bonuses to improve axe combat.
• Replaces the Miner69er perk for axes, ensuring that the axe-specific bonuses are separate from other harvesting tools (e.g., pickaxes, shovels).
• increases the chance to find tool parts and tool digest magazines, but these benefits do not stack with the Miner69er perk.

Perk Book – “Chop Chop” volumes 1-7

• Each book provides different passive or conditional effects to enhance the player’s axe combat abilities.
• After reading all seven volumes, the player unlocks a final 8th bonus perk.
