Tools

This article is about {{#explode:Tools|(}} in Subnautica. [[{{#explode:Tools|(}} (Below Zero)|Click here]] for information on this subject in Below Zero.

Tools are devices that are either crafted from Basic Materials or Advanced Materials by using the Fabricator or upgraded from other Tools using the Modification Station.

They are carried in the Inventory and can be equipped in the Toolbar.

Most of them consume Energy through batteries. These tools are the Flashlight, Habitat Builder, Laser Cutter, Pathfinder Tool, Propulsion Cannon, Repair Tool, Repulsion Cannon, Scanner, and Stasis Rifle.

Some Tools can currently only be spawned using Console Commands.

Nearly all Tools have first-use animations. 

Note that the Thermoblade does use a battery in crafting but doesn't require it for Energy.
