The Dementonite Screwdriver is a basic tool. It is a variant of the Screwdriver and repairs 40% faster than the screwdriver.

Function

The Dementonite screwdriver's primary function is to perform electrical repairs on certain installations, namely Nuclear Reactors, Junction Boxes, Navigation Terminals, Sonar Monitors, Status Monitors, Batteries and Supercapacitors.

It can also be used on Connection Panels of any installation or electrical component to rewire them.

Lastly, it can be swung at enemies for a weak melee attack. The Dementonite variant is nearly 43% faster than the regular Screwdriver, and almost twice as fast as the Hardened Screwdriver, though lacks the armor penetration of the latter.

Usage

Dementonite Screwdrivers are held with one hand. Left-clicking on an installation or electrical component with the tool equipped will open up its connection panel menu. Rewiring while below level 55 Electrical Engineering presents a risk of failure, which interrupts the rewiring and inflicts Burn 5 and Stun 5 sec. Pressing on an installation in needs of repairs will start fixing it. Doing so while below level 55 Electrical Engineering will take longer.
