(→Usage: Added info on the strategy of replacing ion cubes before using the Tether Tool for a 3rd time as these semi-charged Ion Cubes can still be used for crafting; also added a workaround method for "recharging" ion cubes using the recyclotron. Both parts are based on the current version of the game (May-2021 44290) and this info should be removed/updated if this method is patched out or changed.) |

The tether tool facilitates instant travel to a paired seatruck teleportation module. lon cube required for use.
― PDA.

The Tether Tool is a tool that allows the player to teleport back to their Seatruck Teleportation Module from a distance. The tether connects to the Teleportation Module, which is required for it to work.
Usage
To teleport into the Seatruck, press RMB while holding the Tether Tool. It requires one Ion Cube per three teleports to function. An Ion Cube can be inserted into a Tether Tool with R.
It is advisable to replace the Ion Cube powering the Tether Tool after 2 uses, this is because upon the third activation of this tool the currently-installed Ion Cube will be consumed entirely, rendering it lost. However, an Ion Cube that is only ⅔rds used up may still be used for crafting, thus maintaining its usefulness.
Furthermore, an Ion Cube can be recharged—and thereby reused—using a roundabout method (Please Note: this workaround may be removed from the game at any time). This method requires the player to have: the Tether Tool/Seatruck Teleportation Module unlocked, ≥3 Ion Cubes, 1 Titanium Ingot (or 5 Titanium), 1 Lithium, 1 Gold, and 1 Silver Ore. The steps for this process are as follows:
- Build the Recyclotron interior module (1 Titanium Ingot and 1 Ion Cube).
- Replace the current ⅓rds- or ⅔rds-used Ion Cube in the Tether Tool with a new Ion Cube.
- Use the partially-discharged Ion Cube in the player's inventory to craft an Ion Battery (1 Ion Cube, 1 Lithium, 1 Gold, and 1 Silver Ore).
- Put the newly-crafted Ion Battery into the Recyclotron and hit the "Recycle" button to receive a new, fully-charged Ion Cube (along with the other constituent parts of crafting the Ion Battery)!
