The Plasma Cutter is a destructive tool that can be used in Barotrauma.
Function
Using compressed air from an Oxygen Tank, plasma cutters are able to demolish structures, such as platforms, walls and windows. They can also un-seal any doors which were sealed with the Welding Tool.
Structures which are being affected will be 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.
Plasma cutters can also injure other players and creatures, so it is advised that others keep some distance from anyone using the tool.
Usage
Plasma cutters require only one hand to use. Holding down the right-click (mouse2) button will aim them in whichever direction your cursor is positioned at. Holding down the left-click (mouse1) button will activate the tool, affecting any structures that are within its range. If a player attempts to use a plasma cutter without the appropriate skill level, it will only operate at 1/4th the efficiency.
