Make toolboxes fun again!

[Falamazeer]

I remember when toolboxes didn't just solve ninety percent of problems on the station
In my day, it solved ONE HUNDRED percent of problems!

But seriously, toolboxes are lame as shit now, they are annoying to have because a belt serves you infinitely more without being easily disarmed, Let's make it a bit of a trade-off instead of an outright buff to own a toolbox

Currently Toolboxes do ten damage, and syndicate toolboxes do 15. Then there is the welding tool, which does 15 as well, and it's burn damage to boot!

Can we consider going up a point or five on both? Because right now everyone uses fire extinguishers for their impromptu beatings, and that takes away from the rich lustrous history of toolboxing the weakspot for massive damage!

1. the welding tool does 15 damage WITHOUT KNOCKDOWNS you slut
2.you don't need to vote to see the results
at most a meme for it to be 12 damage

Fill toolboxes with ignoters and cans of welding fuel for incendiary toolbox that explode on smack

Don't be silly, combine igniters and proximity sensors then they'll detonate on impact when thrown, then you can make Molotov toolboxes!

[DemonFiren]

Both wrong. Igniter, proximity sensor and lots of cans with welding fuel should clearly make a toolbox mine.
We can't have bottlecap mines, but this works just as well.

Make toolboxes have 8 force + 1 for every tool in it or something like that, an empty toolbox isn't that good a beatin' weapon. Most of its skull-smacking power comes from being big and heavy and an empty box with a handle on it ain't the latter.

Nice obscure meme reference.

Somehow get a bag of holding in there, make that dmg stack.

Yes IK double post

Considering you can't just stuff them in your backpack like fire extinguishers it seems like it'd make more sense to do more damage. Alternatively keep the damage but give them a slow attack rate equivalent to a collapsible baton but give them a very high chance of knocking someone out. The idea being they wouldn't necessarily make for a good primary weapon but great for knocking someone out.

If it'd be possible you could make it so that every tool you put in there increases the attack delay. An empty tool box would deal a fairly light amount of damage but attacking with it'd be quick as hell. A fully loaded toolbox on the other hand would be extremely slow, almost like the weight of it would require your character to wind up after each hit.

Do not let it be said I do not care for the players https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/19540

I approve, though I feel like tacking the ability to backpack the toolbox makes it less likely to be merged.
But it sure would be nice if they both go through as is.

thanks brah!
