[b]Restraints: Handcuffs[/b] is an add-on for the Restraints mod by Bdew that changes the restrain requirement from steel to a new item: handcuffs!
It also adds logic so that the arrester will attempt to use handcuffs in their inventory first before searching the map for a pair of cuffs with options for having your pawns carry handcuffs.
Why?
Aesthetic and roleplay reasons mostly. I always thought it was weird that the Restraints mod just used steel and didn't fit the roleplay for a lot of my playthroughs. So, I finally decided to try to do something about it and practice a new form of modding I hadn't before.

FAQ
[b]Q. How do I obtain handcuffs?[/b]
A. Handcuffs can be made at a [b]Crafting Spot[/b] for 2 steel. I kept the cost low due to an issue you can read about below.
[b]Q. When I unrestrain a pawn, I don't get my handcuffs back![/b]
A. This is a current limitation. Handcuffs do not get returned and I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to fix that - but I lack the knowledge to do so. It is still something I plan on working on for a future update. So, I've kept the cost low since you will lose them often.
[b]Fixed in v1.2[/b]
[b]Q. How do I make my pawns carry handcuffs around?[/b]
A. There are multiple ways you can do this:
[list]
[*] Included in the mod is a patch that allows you to assign pawns to carry handcuffs around like you can assign them to carry medicine around. You cannot carry both medicine and handcuffs with this method.
[*] Utilize the 'pick up' mechanic of Rimworld and manually instruct pawns to pick up handcuffs as needed.
[*] Use some mod that allows for inventory management (CE loadouts for example). As long as the handcuffs are put into the pawn's inventory, they'll be used.
[/list]
[b]Q. The handcuffs art is not very good.[/b]
A. I know! I suck at art.
NOTE
The hediff given when a pawn is restrained has been changed to block their manipulation.
It is highly recommended to unhandcuff prisoners once they are in their cells (and rely on the vanilla restraints prisoners automatically get) so that they can wear appropriate apparel and eat on their own. Think of handcuffs being beneficial for securing pawns not at your prison.

My mods are always free and will never require a monetary investment, but if you're feeling generous and would like to help me pay for my medical bills following a near-death hospitalization, I would be forever grateful. I hope you enjoy any mods I release - they make me happy and I hope they make you too.
