Mod Help Please

Is it possible to assign the mine action to empty hands? Looking at the Zinnia mod I know you can move it to a new tool. But what about no tool?

local function DoToolWork(act, workaction)
    if act.target.components.workable ~= nil and
        act.target.components.workable:CanBeWorked() and
        act.target.components.workable:GetWorkAction() == workaction then
        act.target.components.workable:WorkedBy(
            act.doer,
            (   (   act.invobject ~= nil and
                act.invobject.components.tool ~= nil and
                act.invobject.components.tool:GetEffectiveness(workaction)
            ) or
            (   act.doer ~= nil and
                act.doer.components.worker ~= nil and
                act.doer.components.worker:GetEffectiveness(workaction)
            ) or
            1
            ) *
            (   act.doer.components.workmultiplier ~= nil and
                act.doer.components.workmultiplier:GetMultiplier(workaction) or
                1
        )
        )
        return true
    end
    return false

This seems to be the check for the right tool in your hand, I'm just not sure how to bypass it.

local Worker = Class(function(self, inst)
    self.inst = inst
    self.actions = {}
end)

function Worker:GetEffectiveness(action)
    return self.actions[action] or 0
end

function Worker:SetAction(action, effectiveness)
    self.actions[action] = effectiveness or 1
end

function Worker:CanDoAction(action)
    return self.actions[action] ~= nil
end

return Worker
The previous script mentioned the worker component, this is that

maybe alter the fn for the component and action for mining and change it so that you can do it if your unarmed 

also look into the beaver code

another option is to create a new component to use the mine option

I've done some work by using this thread's advice

My modmain is here https://pastebin.com/KiULw2gS and refuses to run.
I've tried running it through repl.it, and it seems to have no errors, but immediately crashes with no error code.
All of my changes are at the end.

well that poste was made in 2015 so there must be some code that would've been changed, i can only recommend looking at woodie code

[Grymlahv]

I do believe you were right to look in the woodie prefab, but I am now running into a little snag. Using what I believe to be the code snippets needed, every time I try to test it, it spawns me in random places (including the middle of the ocean) and then crashes the server.

Here is my prefab with to verify my code,

Looking into Woodie's code to see how he werebeaver and weremoose can break boulders without a tool, has lead me to miles of text. and i can't seem to replicate it, however looking at his axe Lucy gave me another idea on how to do this.

Spoiler

--Mine the World
local function onworked(inst, data)
    if data.target ~= nil and
        data.target.components.workable ~= nil and
        data.target.components.workable.action == ACTIONS.MINE then
        local equipitem = inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS)
        if equipitem == nil and inst.components.worker:WorkerActions = nil then inst:AddComponent("worker") 
        end
    end    
end
local function SetWorker(inst)
    if components.worker == nil then
    inst:AddComponent("worker")
    inst.components.worker:SetAction(ACTIONS.MINE, 2)
    end
end

Is it possible to set your unequipped hands to do a worker variable? My server keeps crashing before I can even choose my character. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?

Any help would be appreciated.
