Engineer's Tool Upgrades is an Immersive Engineer Addon that adds new upgrades to existing tools and new QoL features like linking items to Engineer Manual Entries.
New upgrades
Magnetic Drill Extender
Reach a Little Further
Spoiler
The Magnetic Drill Extender is a Drill upgrade, It adds a weighted, magnetically-extended attachment to the drill's housing, letting the wielder mine blocks slightly further away than they otherwise could.
No longer mining ceiling would be a hassle!
Flashlight
Light the Way
Spoiler
The Flashlight is an upgrade for both the Drill and the Heavy Plated Shield. It has no effect on its own if simply carried in your hand; it must be installed onto one of those two tools at the Engineer's Workbench.
Once installed, the Flashlight projects a beam of light out from the wielder's eyes in whatever direction they are looking, brightest up close and dimming with distance. It works for free the entire time it's equipped, with no Flux cost and nothing to run out of.
Fluid Sensor
Spoiler
Nobody enjoys drilling straight into an open pocket of lava. The Fluid Sensor is a Drill upgrade that watches every block about to be mined, checking not just the targeted block but the drill's entire mining area for whichever drillhead is currently fitted, and sounds an alarm the instant any of it borders lava.
Antiblast Plate
Spoiler
The Antiblast Plate is a Shield upgrade. It is built specifically to absorb the force of an explosion rather than a blade or a bullet. Its effect only applies while you are actively blocking with the Shield.
New Drill Heads
Lead Drill Head
Spoiler
With its big less mass this Drillhead built for speed and damage rather than coverage. Where the Steel Drillhead carves out a wide 3x3 area with every pass, the Lead Drillhead narrows its focus to a single block, using the material saved to spin far faster than any standard head.
Prospector Drill Head
Spoiler
Like the Lead Drillhead, the Prospector Drillhead is a specialised tool that allows every block it breaks is affected as though harvested with a §2Silk Touch§r enchanted tool.
