Name: Mechanical multitool
Cost: 2 tokens
Description: A must have for any tinkerers. It's a complex set of actuators, mechanical parts, metal pieces and sensors that can transform into a tool that can be used to manipulate any basic mechanical device. It's a mechanical thing; works great on something like an engine, but don't expect to solder anything with it or check voltages or something. About 8-10 inches long, 3-4 wide, and weighs about 10 pounds.
Would the multitool be able to function as something like a saw or drill or other power tools? How good would it be in this roll? It would probably need stuff like separate saw blades, drill bits, grinding wheels, etc. added.
How about a welder/soldering iron/generator combo for 1 token?
And how about lowering the price of the cutting torch to 1 token, or even combining it with the welder combo above? I think we can all agree its current 3 token price is way too much.
Reposting this so it doesnt get forgotten, and editing it a bit.
Yes, but it would need the bits, wheels, etc. It would be about as good as a standard power tool.
How big and powerful a set up we talking here?
Yeah, that can be lowered to 1.

What happens when you stick a Kinetic Amplifier on a Stake Puncher Thrower Whatsit. Also, storing energy from same in a Kinetic Shunt/Manip. Preferably, should there be any, with confidence intervals about "not backfiring horribly."
Further investigate the cost/benefit ratio of embedding Kinetic Amplifiers into projectiles and AoW systems. I'm thinking "Kicking boot of doom" and "Railgun Shell of ^2 to Destruction."
Well you'd have to cut off the sharp part and create a flat end to stick it on. But you'd get a very powerful punch. Perhaps too powerful for most people.
Not sure what you mean with the second part.
Well, the cost/benefit really depends on your usage. You strap one to every bullet and you're gonna hemorrhaging money. You have one bullet you save for bad situations and it will probably be worth it. Melee weapons using them are basically always worth it.
It would be possible to make a mono-force blade have serrations, right?
Possible but really damn complicated.
Look at the gauss rifle. It's in the special ammo section
*indicates the Kinetic Amplifier page, which does not reflect this.*
Also, I don't think anyone has stuck said on a tungsten whatnot magnetic etc. launcher. Is it a launcher?
The stake driver or the Gauss rifle? The stake driver is a melee weapon. It's a weaponized pile bunker.
How expensive would it be to make the Jump Pack capable of flight instead of simple jumps? We discussed part of this via IRC, about the potential of using replaceable blueradite cells or one of those miniature fusion reactors to supply the very large amounts of energy necessary for it.
Really, it depends on how far and how fast you want to fly.
