Welding is one of the many things you’re going to be doing while you’re trying to survive the voyage after an attack. It’s used to repair the submarine if a hole has been punctured in a few places and can be a last-ditch weapon if you don’t have anything else lying around.
But the fun doesn’t always last forever, the fuel tank will eventually drain itself at the worst possible time. It can happen either when you’re taking in water, or if a Husk is seconds away from eating your face off. Let’s see if there’s any way to prevent that without getting high.
Can You Refill Welding Fuel? | Barotrauma
Unlike other games, your welding tool doesn’t really function on magic so keeping a steady supply of fuel will be vital to your survival unless you’ve already burnt your eyebrows with it.
Sadly you can’t refuel the blasted thing like how you would with the oxygen tank, but there are still some alternative ways of you getting the same outcome.
The next best thing you can do with your empty fuel tank is to head on over to the fabricator and recycle it for a new one. You’ll need one unit of ethanol and the fuel tank itself to make this possible.
You can also keep a steady supply of fuel tanks handy by crafting some using aluminum and even more ethanol.
Normally, incendium performs better overall since it can be used to refill empty incendium tanks, but getting the resource is a bit trickier due to the hazards you have to go through while looting Wrecks or Alien Ruins.
If you’re feeling naughty and want to commit workplace safety violations, you can also place both the welding or incendium fuel into an unsuspecting worker’s diving gear. By the time they realize how much gasoline has passed through their respiratory system, it would’ve already been too late.
You can also place the valuable resource into your Plasma Cutter and win yourself a Darwin!
