''This page provides data and information about the Tinker's Construct tools. You may be looking for [[GT Tools|GregTech Tools]] instead.'' ▼The primary content of '''Tinker's Construct''' (TiCon) are the [[Smeltery]] and customizable tools. Similar to their vanilla counterparts, there are shovels, pickaxes, hoes, swords and axes. TiCon offers many additional unique tool and weapon variants, each of which is made up of two or more parts. Each tool part can be made from a different material and will have varying attributes depending on what it's made out of. Tool parts are combined in a Tool Station or it's upgrade, the Tool Forge. Tools and weapons can also be repaired in the same interface by adding the main part's raw material, typically an ingot. Some tools have a "Mining Level" that determines what blocks they can break, and all tools/weapons have a "Tool Level" that increases the more it's used.
The '''Tinker's Construct''' (TiCon) mod introduces customizable tools and weapons. These tools can be built out of multiple parts with different materials. Each material has its own statistics and special attributes. Tool parts are created in the [[Parts Station]], the [[Smeltery]], or MV [[Extruder]], and combined to build a tool in a [[Tool Station]] or its upgrade, the [[Tool Forge]].

== Repair, Enhancement, and Part Replacement ==
TiCon tools can be repaired in a [[Crafting Station]], [[Adventure Backpack]], [[Tool Station]], or [[Tool Forge]] using the primary part's material (usually in ingot form). For Crafting Stations and Adventure Backpacks, the tool must be placed in the center of the grid to be repaired, where the pickaxe icon is. More material can be used in a single repair by filling more of the surrounding grid slots with the repair material.
A tool can be enhanced with [[Tinkers Tools#Modifiers|modifiers]] or have their parts replaced in a similar fashion. Both require the tool to be at full durability.
== Levels ==

There are ''two'' separate levelling systems associated with TiCon tools/weapons.
==== Mining Level ====
The first is Mining Level/XP, which is only present on tools that break stone/ore blocks like Pickaxes and Hammers. Mining XP will either be two numbers divided by a slash showing the current / needed XP, or "Boosted", which means the tool is fully powered up. When a new tool is made or the tool head is replaced, the tool's Mining XP will reset to zero. Until it reaches "Boosted" status, the tool's Mining Level will be reduced by one. The Any[[NEI]] toolTool canMaterials onlytabs goshow upthe by one Mining Level using this method.

MobThese headsitems do not cost a modifier slot to apply but can only be added to fully repaired tools, just like other modifiers.

A tool's Mining Level determines what blocks it can break.

The tooltip text will be green if the current tool meets the requirement, or red if it does not.

Unlike Mining Level/XP, there is no practical cap on tool levels, though it takes progressively more XP forbut each increase.level requires Toolan Levelsincreasing goamount up as the tool/weapon is used appropriately, accumulating 1of XP per block harvested / enemy killed until a new level is reached. Tool Level maxes out at 100, and grants [[#Modifiers|modifiers]] at certain levels. When a tool gains XP, it will do so for both Mining and Tool (if possible) at the same time. The amount of XP it takes to level up is based on the tool's speed, or damage dealt for weapons.
'''Level Gain'''
Mining/Tool Levels accumulate with 1 XP per block harvested or enemy killed. The amount of XP it takes to level up is based on harvesting speed for tools or damage dealt for weapons.
