Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.12, outdated):
SalvagePlusUnbroken_1.1.1.zip
1-click install
Scrap those used pickaxes, among other things, and put them to good use! Also overhauls the lamellae, ingots, plates etc. breaking down recipes to use both the chisel and the hammer. (Are you really just going to stab an ingot with the chisel? How in the world does that work?)
Here are some recipes: (ignore the quantities, they were changed)

Check the handbook (bits) for the rest.
Amount of bits from salvaging tools now varies by edition:
- 4 bits for Unbroken Edition (THIS ONE)
- 10 bits for Blue Edition
- 18 bits for Pink Edition
Scrapping arrows yields 2 bits each now for Blue and Pink and 1 bit each for Unbroken.
Steel bit melting point changed to 1499 °C for use in the bloomery: 20 steel bits and a piece of coal make an ingot.
Another note: If something doesn't work, try using a chisel (and hammer) with more durability.

Disclaimer: The ‘Baby Blue’ and ‘Princess Pink’ editions are just lighthearted joke names for the more bountiful SalvagePlus variants - where scrapping used tools gives you more metal back, so your journey stays calm and easy. They still don't give the full 20 bits.
‘Unbroken Edition’ is in no way, shape or form a superior variant, or funnier, or more genuine. Anyone who tells you playing all games in hard mode is the way is probably compensating for something else. Play the game however you want, have fun, and stay foxy! :D

I have removed some comments as they clogged up a bit.
- I got i1kana's permission to use their fix, and did so, everything should be sparkly now, no durability bars, no error spam. ( Thanksiiiessss❤️ )
- Added wrench salvaging recipe (Phelan21)
- Uploaded two more variants for the mod. Blue & Pink
- Did something else but forgor.
Keep me posted if issues arise. As always, I might not see them for a couple of months but I'll try my best to check on this site at least once a while.
noticing some weirdness when loading into a world with this mod enabled while on 1.20 stable- the server [StoryEvent] messages do not update properly, though I don't think any functionality is affected... I tested with the rest of my modlist as well as with everything else disabled and this was the culprit. I'll see if the mod continues to function normally otherwise when I'm in-game.
so basically it will only show the first few [StoryEvent] messages in-game with no further visual updates until you actually load in. (so it will get around as far as "it remembers..." or "all that came before..." before not visibly updating the [StoryEvent]s, though it will eventually load the world in.)
Any chance of adding recipes for breaking down wrenches to this? :)
If there's any problem with it in 1.19.x let me know, but given how simple-ish the mod is, it should work forever.
1.19.x?
Very nice!
Heebeejeebees This replaces ZyRail's Break Down Tools mainly. It removes some of his recipes for stuff that now can be dismantled in vanilla (i.e. metal plate scrapping recipe), and tweaks every salvage operation to also require a hammer.
Reason I made this mod was I didn't find mods that did this to begin with: salvage tools (intended for used up tools, it returns a measly 2 nuggets to keep it balanced) and salvage tool heads and blades (returning the full resources = 20 nuggets usually)
I was just too indecisive on what to do with my used pickaxes because they were a drain on inventory space, as I'd also pack a fresh one to replace the crappy one when it broke.
What mods does this replace / supplant, and what mods does this compliment? I have multiple salvage-type mods used in another server and personally, I wonder if this can be used to reduce the overall number of mods I use?
ZyRail thanks again! 😊❤️
