Not sure why you think this is obsolete for 1.22. It works differently than the upcoming grindstone which adds crit and not durability, and even with the extra durability from quenching with clay that is a one time addition while this is multiple uses at the cost to max and is configurable. Maybe this can be migrated over to an F tool swap with the upcoming grindstones to keep this functionality that isn't available with 1.22.

Obsolete in 1.22

Thanks for this mod. I have a bad habit of making tools that sit on racks and always fall back to flint for those that have them available, but this has me finaly rolling with all those tools I've made. 😄

for some reason my friend can hear the grindstone 100+ blocks away when im using it AartHauk

Also when repairing items, some stay partially repaired and wont sharpen any farther. they can be resharpened but it doesnt complete the durability bar to full.

What a wonderful mod! Thank you!!! I really like overall durability loss. It makes this mod not overpowered.

seems to have done the trick , thanks boss 

Kyrios34 I belive that the issue you're having is that for some reason the Harmony patch for my mod is loading after the Harmony patch for XSkill on already created worlds. What this does it it ends up making the quality effect get stacked ontop of the max durability that the grindstones adds to an item, since that's not an inherit part of an item in VS, but when you first interact with the grindstone it adds a new attribute to your item with the maximum duability (maxdurability) of said item which at first will be:

base item durability \* ( 1 + quality \* 0.05)

Then when the item has a maxdurability attribute, due to the order of patching issue, 

The displayed maximum durability is:
maxdurability \* ( 1 + quality \* 0.05)

Which means that at very high quality and base durability levels the displayed maximum is large enough that it looks like durability was lost.

This should be fixed as of 1.1.2 as I have now told Harmony to push patch after XSkills.

I was having this exact issue, at least, on the servre I'm on with my friends but it should be fixed now, if not could you tell me all the mods you're using?

JeanPierre That was indead the issue with the sound

whenever I repair a quality item the durability drops to half instantly and cant be repaired beyond that point

I believe the audio issue can be solved by exporting the audio file as mono instead of stereo 

been using the grindstone mod from still necessaries , I like the visual spark effects and stuff from that but it doesnt work on weapons at all , so this is nice

AartHauk That's ideal, cheers!

Kyrios34 It should work for Combat Overhaul, I can't think of any reason for incompatability

does this work with CO weapons by chance?

Chalki Durability loss is now fully configurable with the ability to disable it by setting "RatioMaxDurabilityLossToDurabilityGain" to "0:x" where x is any integer which would in this instance really only control how long it would take to repair the item

Great looking model! May I recommend adding the funtionality of the abandoned 'whetstone' mod? The creator is no longer in active development & recommends others to change it as they will. It converts 1 point of durability for 1 point of sharpness, capping at 100 sharpness. On every use it consumes a sharpness point, your tool will dull over time and require more sharpening to maintain its edge. Sharpened tools, at max sharpness, will have this benefit: Double rock/ore digging speed, skinning speed, and double damage.
The mod is great, but it has a corny grindingstone, yours would look & make much better. 

Love this implementation of a grindstone, and especially its configurability.

A nice alternative to the grindstone in the Necessaries mod, I prefer the crafting recipe for this one. Can you please make the durability loss configurable too? Thanks for the mod.

RumpleRatskin I would absolutely love that.

Great idea for the grinding mechanic, copy the anvil mechanic.

Basically, when you have the grind stone, you must interact with it while holding a tool (mostly weapons like shortswords and spears) and then it puts you into a similar mode as using the anvil and you must careful chip off the highlighted blocks on the edges of the weapon which appear, very simple. You could also add the fact that you have to "crank" the grind stone to a certain speed (which will be displayed on the info) to properly grind tools which can be automated via windmills.

:D
