ST Additions - Pry Open
Pry doors with a crowbar. The page names Build 42.20.2.
How can I pry locked doors without a huge quality-of-life pack?
You can pry with a crowbar without taking on every old convenience mod. ST Additions - Pry Open is the narrow item: a crowbar, a locked door. Common Sense for B42.20+ also pries, and it adds other tool actions. Do not enable an older Common Sense underneath that branch.
Mods that do this
Common Sense [B42.20+]
Prying plus other tool actions. Do not stack it on an older Common Sense.
On this page
The Pry Open page names stable 42.20.2. This page has not confirmed 42.21 or a dedicated server. Common Sense's author does not promise that every multiplayer action works. Test the door action you actually need.
One action, or a set of tool actions
| Option | What it adds | What to avoid | Build note |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST Additions - Pry Open | Prying locked doors with a crowbar | Expecting can-opening and the rest of a convenience pack | The page names stable 42.20.2. Check 42.21 yourself. |
| Common Sense B42.20+ | Prying, plus other uses for tools you already hold | Stacking it on the older Common Sense item | The author does not guarantee full multiplayer support. |
If the only missing action is the crowbar, start with Pry Open. Move to Common Sense when you also want the other tool actions and you have tried them on a test save.
Once the door is open, looting the room from one list is a separate mod. The Build 42 overview already explains the Common Sense branch in that wider set.
Common questions
- Can I use my old Common Sense and add the B42.20+ branch?
No. The B42.20+ listing is its own item, not a patch you stack on the old one. Enable the branch that matches your build.
- Does Pry Open work on 42.21?
The Workshop page names stable 42.20.2. Treat 42.21 as unchecked until you try it or the author updates that line.
- Will prying work on a server?
Not as a blanket yes. Common Sense in particular does not promise every multiplayer action. Pry a door on a test save with the same mods the server uses.
- Is this the same as a lockpicking skill mod?
No. Both items here are about forcing a door with a crowbar. A skill overhaul that adds lockpicks is a different request.
