Re-Fueling Welders

[CTH2004]

So, Welders have "gas", is there a way to re-fuel them? Is that not implimented? It doesn't seem to happen when replaced into it's holder, so after a while it becomes useless. But, I might just be being dumb, that has been known to happen. A lot.

I think electric to the holder refuels it?

Currently no way to recharge the handheld welders or fire extinguishers.

Has been requested a few times to no avail. The end-effector and welder update would have been an opportunity. Ah well...

Well, that's annoying!

Yeah, I imagine adding refuel/recharge functionality wouldn't require more than adding a fluid port to the inventory holder component and add a new welder type fluid.

not even that second part. They could just re-use disel. Or, since it seems to be an arc-welder, replace it with charge and use electricity. Shouldn't be to hard for them

i mean theres the welder part so you could make one with cable and a handle

Or they could just make into two parts. The welder and its ammo.
Welder relaods through electricity, ammo is just like any other ammo, from an inventory block.
Makes more sense, and especially for the underwater torch since those are SMAW type
(Stick welding).
