Expanding the recycle functionality to hats is a good idea. I’m thinking of doing that as well. However, the problem is that, unlike underwear, which I assume will always generate Ripped Sheets, I would need to create some kind of "blacklist" to exclude certain items, such as motorcycle helmets, from the recipe. I'm considering the best way to do this.

Being able to rip hats would be amazing! Cleaning up zombie corpses and recycling the clothing, only to be left with useless hats and glasses is infuriating for a perfectionist. I use the following combination of mods, and they might be a good reference:

Universal Repair, Rip and Patch Clothing 2.0!

Real Undies

Viperel's Recycling Center

Using all 3 does create some redundancy, some mod clothing is still missed, and none of the above do anything to recycle hats and glasses. My goal is to be able to rip, patch, and repair all clothing, and recycle any wearables that are not made of cloth, denim, or leather. I don't believe everything I have mentioned is in this mod's scope, but being able to tick even one thing off my wishlist would be huge!

Fair enough cheers mate, great mod

For now, I don't plan to update to B42 as I'm not playing on it. When I start playing on the new build, I should update this mod.

Any chance this gets updated to B42 unstable?

In a future release, yes, I’m figuring out how to make it so you won’t need to manually add the pieces of underwear.

Does this mod allow underwear and hats to be ripped?

This mod overrides 'Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing'. I believe this might be what's causing the Type 21 kick. I’m not sure how to fix it (or if it’s even possible). I suppose the only way to resolve this is by disabling it in the '.ini' file (AntiCheatProtectionType21=false).

On (Dedicated) Servers this mod causes players to be kicked from the Server because of Type 21 Anti Cheat, even though the mod is properly installed on the server.
The error message spoke of mismatching recipes of leather strips and alike.
