Make tool belt a lot lighter and a bit smaller

[Olaroll]

Summary

Balance "Rebalanced tool belt weight and volume"

Purpose of change

I noticed that an empty tool belt currently weighs 3.85kg, which is way too much imo, especially for the relatively small amount of storage it gives.

Describe the solution

To find the right weight, I tried looking for an IRL tool belt that has a similar amount of storage when compared to the one in-game. Overall, the lightest tool belts I found were around 0.5kg, while the heaviest were about 2.5kg.

Just for convenience, here are the in-game tool belt's pockets:

• 1x 1L Pocket
• 3x 1L Sheath/Belt Loop
• 2x 1.5L Sheath/Belt Loop

Looking at the pockets, you can see that the in-game tool belt mostly consists of belt loops for the tools, and would thus be quite light.

The tool belt I found that had the most similar storage specs ended up being this one. It's made out of thick leather, and weighs a total of 0.85kg. It doesn't include the belt, so I rounded it up to 1kg to compensate.

I also lowered the volume slightly. I just set it to what feels right, as volume isn't that important for clothing anyway. I did make sure its volume is a bit larger than the police belt, as it seems like a good reference point.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leaving the tool belt unreasonably heavy.

Testing

None, because the JSON change is as simple as can be.

After changing the crafting recipe in a later commit, I also tried loading up the game and making sure crafting and disassembly works.

Additional context

None

The default/disassembly components weigh 1.7kg so the recipe needs to be updated too

[Olaroll]

Alright, I've adjusted the recipe in the following ways:

• Leather pouches needed 6 -> 2
• Leather patches needed 6 -> 12
• Clasps needed 2 -> 5
• Leather belts needed 0 -> 1

These are mostly arbitrary amounts, but they add up to 0.95kg. Is that alright?

The only non-arbitrary change was setting the leather pouches to 2. The reasoning is that the tool belt has 1L of non belt loop storage, and each leather pouch contributes 0.5L.

I think this is a good sanity fix on this item and recipe.
