Fix orphaned tool qualities

[RoyalFox2140]

I will add onto this as additional problems are found.

The following tool qualities have no mainlined uses I can find:

Awl quality including steel and bone awls
Curved Needle
Reaming quality from Pin reamers

The following quality needs additional work:
Sewing is only used at level 1 quality but has level 4 on a tailors kit. You can use a wooden needle to stitch kevlar and leather.

The Solution? Obsolete or add recipes for them. Don't care which, I leave it up to the author. If you obsolete anything you must ensure that tailors kits no longer call for them in their recipe, as currently you require an awl and curved needle in the kit but it's still used for nothing.

Awls are used for sewing tough material such as leather. Curved needles are for neoprene. We could stand to require awls for leatherworking, curved needles for neoprene and maybe kevlar, and additionally higher sewing qualities for a lot of clothes or armors.

Reaming is for a variety of metal projects.

Curved needles are less about material and more about application. Sewing upholstery for instance typically uses curved needles in real life because you want a tight fit and thus cannot move your hand to the other side to grab and redirect the needle.

Reams are used to get drilled holes in metal to precise diameters, this could be incorporated into the game but I see very little harm in removing it given the universal and abstract nature of our crafting tools.

I should note there's significant gameplay arguments against craftable firearms even if get past the crafting hurdles, there's also a situation where they'd be so far restricted to endgame the recipes would go unused, but with my craftable assault rifles and rocket launchers you know where I stand on the issue.

For what it's worth, I visualize the whole concept of crafting the non-makeshift firearms as more of a "I LOVE this particular gun, but the RNG seems to hate me when it comes to drops/spawns" thing than a real way of getting an advantage. Given the, lets say less than optimal circumstances, the skill level required to make one (IMO Fabrication 8-9, with a healthy dose of Cooking, Markmanship and Mechanics to accompany it) translates into the stage of the game when you probably already have a hefty gun collection.
That said, I'd love to study the discussion on the topic. Could you maybe direct me to where it was held?

The discussion I had was with someone over a year ago in DM's who is now banned and disavowed from CDDA as well as CBN spaces. I'd advise sourcing primary sources on the topic, if all else we can simply do chemical treatment with acid and lead/copper, plus of course any vegetable oil could be a cutting fluid for abstraction's sake.

Sorry, I meant the discussion about gameplay reasons for/against craftable firearms, not the one about how they're made.

Talk to Kheir on the Discord about that specifically.

rocket/grenade launchers need to be significantly easier to make

the 3d printed guns need to be more complicated but making them straight upgrades to their competitors would be a good idea imo. should I whip up a pull request for my ideas for this?

I've been meaning to remove them for a while but keep forgetting.
