The Welding Tool is a tool that can be operated in Barotrauma. It is a crucial tool, as it allows crew members to repair the submarine.
Function
Welding tools are able to weld structures together, such walls and windows, repairing them. They can also be used to seal doors, making them unable to be opened. The only way to un-seal a door again is by using a Plasma Cutter on it.
Structures being affected by the welding tool are highlighted by a rectangle. The color of said rectangle determines the condition of the structure: a greener color indicating that the structure is in a stable condition and a redder color to reflect a poor condition. When the structure is about to break the rectangle will begin dissipating.
Welding tools can be used in junction with Wrenches to perform mechanical repairs on installations which require them.
Usage
Welding tools require only one hand to use. Holding down the right-click (mouse2) button will aim them in whichever direction your cursor is positioned. Holding down the left-click (mouse1) button will activate the tool, affecting any structures within its range.
If a player attempts to use a welding tool without the appropriate skill level, it will only operate at 1/4th the efficiency.
