Tool upgrades

Tools need to have upgrades beyond just speed. Here is what they need:

Welders:

1st level just welds

2nd level welds 2x faster.

3rd Level welds 3x faster and has a longer range (2nd block past a built block)

4th level welds 4x faster, has a longer range, and highlights damaged blocks with a glow

Grinder

1st level just grinds

2nd level grinds 2x faster

3rd level grinds 3x faster and has longer effective width (left and right)

4th level grinds 4x faster, has longer range and depth (blocks that are left, right, and deep)

Drill

1st level just drills

2nd level drills 2x faster and picks up everything

3rd level drills 3x faster, picks up everything

4th level drills 4x faster, picks up everything, and is able to toss out stone. I add this because I never use a hand drill past the 2nd or 3rd level because I've made a drilling ship by that point.

How about this:

Welders:

Level 1 welders only

Level 2 welds 2x faster.

Level 3 welds 2x faster and is able to join two existing blocks

Level 4 welds 4x faster, has greater range and highlights damaged blocks


Grinder

Level 1 only grinds

Level 2 grinds 2x faster

Level 3 grinds 2x faster and is able to cut an undamaged block from the grid

Level 4 grinds 4x faster, has more reach and depth (blocks that are left, right and deep)

Drill

Level 1 drills only

Level 2 drills 2x faster and takes over everything

Level 3 drills 2x faster, picks up everything, includes an ore detector with a range of 100 meters

Level 4 drills 4x faster, picks up everything and can throw a rock.

For the drill it would be useful to be able to mark the axis of the planned tunnel, because drilling a reasonably straight hole by hand drill is really "high art" in SE.


Or add some kind of laser level as a device or a tool.

Tools do need tiers but what the bonuses are for each tier idk

I want to be able to mine the largest ore patch using less than 10 drills in a single pass. So that would be like Elite x8 drills or x16 drills.
