Tool Use

  What separates humans from animals? Tool use. There are a number of tools you can use in Piracy 2.0. Some are important for finishing the game, others are not important at all and can be ignored. But they can still be used, or at least you can attempt to use them.

The verb USE is not implemented. It's too simple to just USE everything, so for each tool, an appropriate verb can be used to operate it, such as:

>WELD - Welder

>CUT - any cutting tool

>TORCH - for cutting torches, although they can also use CUT XXX WITH TORCH , as well as BURN.

>DRILL - Drill

>SCAN - Scanner

>SHOOT - Pistol. You can >SHOOT AT XXX, or >SHOOT XXX WITH PISTOL, or >SHOOT PISTOL AT XXX, >SHOOT XXX, or just >SHOOT in appropriate situations where the target is obvious.
