The Working Classes
Adds new classes to Vintage story, intended to support profession based gameplay.
Description
Welcome, to the rise of the working classes!
This mod adds a number of new classes to the game, and makes some minor changes to some of the default classes.
It is intended to support profession based gameplay on a multiplayer server, but equally provides new class options to single players looking to take a run at the game in a new way.
By making each class better at fulfilling certain roles within the crafting system, this mod gives players a reason to interact and encourages an economy to develop. It is intended for use either with an economy mod such as Vinconomy to allow offline trading.
When used on a multiplayer server, I also recommend using this alongside a mod that reduces the efficiency of core item production to give more reason to interact with others, however this is enitrely optional. When used in single player, I recommend playing with no additional "anti-efficiency" mod as you can only have one main class, and one extra class. If that is something you do want to look into, I have written such a mod here: Co-operative Synergy but you could use any more that does this or write your own.
New classes
In the handbook there is a new section "Class Guides" - this gives information about how each class plays and how to access the full potential of each class, as well as information about secondary professions if you want to use them, how they work, how to access them and how to change them. To access a secondary profession, you will need assistance from the server admin. In a single player game, that is you but on a multiplayer server you can only access these if the admins allow it.
Melt it down, build it strong. Weapons, chains, and nails for coffins — your work endures, even when you do not.

Swing the pick, pull ore from the earth’s cold grip. One day you’ll lie beneath the same earth you’ve carved, and someone else will dig your grave.
