TN's Power Tools - Cutter - Arc Welder - Auto-Rivet
Community Rating
The three "power tools" in the game weren't shown all that much love. This mod fixes some of the shortcomings by giving the cutter weapon qualities like other guns get, as well as some extra mod slots and mods for the Cutter, ArcWelder, and AutoRivet.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ya'll! I've been sitting on this mod a while, but things have finally settled down with my other mods so I can release it. I wanted to do for the 'power tool' weapons what I did for melee weapons, giving them some much needed features to keep them competitive with the other weapons in the game, and hopefully enabling your fantasy of being a space engineer with space engineer style weapons!
Below are just a few of the things I did for the big three power tools (cutter, arc welder, and rivet gun):
- Weapon qualities (Standard, Calibrated, Refined, Advanced, Superior, Exceptional) for the Cutter, including Free Lanes upgrading.
- Prospector and Recon Prospector for the cutter act like a scope for more precise control, and the recon prospector can mark targets.
- Larger batteries for the arc welder and cutter, and different battery types for the arc welder (based on laser weapon mods).
- The Shielded Grip can be used on all three power tools.
- New internals (Overclocked and more) for the power tools.
- EM Barrels for the Arc Welder.
- Partial Cutter Conversions for all Laser Weapons gives your laser weapon a Cutter beam so it can harvest resources.
- Converted Utility Weapons (Equinox, Solstice, and Orion) are total conversions of laser weapons into full on Cutters, but modifiable as their original weapon.
- And more!

1.3FINALLY fixed the Cutter's quality mod!
Added new Converted Utility versions of the Orion, Solstice, and Equinox. These new weapons can be found on miners, and ore sellers.

Converted Utility weapons will appear in your hand when you use the Scanner.
