Tools
These "tools" are already in the game, but some are disabled. Judging from trailers, previews, rumors and common sense, this is how the they will funciton in future updates:
Hand Drill | File:Hand-drill-icon.jpg | Enabled | Tool | Used for hand mining (as opposed to the ship drill) |
Welder | File:Welder-icon.jpg | Disabled | Tool | Used for assembling and repairing blocks |
Grinder | File:Grinder-icon.jpg | Disabled | Tool | Used for disassembling blocks to be used again |
Welder (Currently Disabled)
The Welder is the main tool used for assembling blocks and repairing broken structures. Damaged layers can be repaired by replacing components in those layers (e.g. if a turret is damaged and its integrity decreases to 80%, you most likely have to only replace the first few layers of steel plate).[1]
Grinder (Currently Disabled)
Used for disassembling layers (See Welder).
Hand Drill (Added in Update 01.008.004)
Used for mining Raw Materials.
