Exploring the World with Immersive Engineering Tools and Weapons

guide

Immersive Engineering offers a range of specialized tools, weapons, and utility items to aid in exploration and various tasks. These items often feature a retro-futuristic design and can be customized at an Engineer's Workbench.

Mining Drill

The Mining Drill is a handheld, diesel-powered device that significantly improves mining operations. Its speed and other characteristics are highly adaptable through exchangeable drill heads and various upgrades. Modifications go in at an Engineer's Workbench. It runs on Biodiesel, drawn straight out of a refinery, a barrel or a large tank.

The drill's digging area depends on the attached drill head, but you can limit it to a single block by sneaking or sneaking and right-clicking. Whichever head you fit decides the harvest tier, how fast it digs, how wide an area it breaks and how hard it hits. Drill heads sustain damage during use but can be repaired with an anvil.

There is a combustion engine inside, so it stalls underwater until you add a Pressurized Air Tank. With this tank, the drill functions submerged and avoids the usual digging slowdown. An Advanced Lubrication System regularly applies lubricant, reducing drill head durability loss. Adding Additional Augers increases the drill's destructive power, making it faster and boosting its damage against living creatures. This upgrade can stack up to three times.

The drill's powerful action can cause some mineral waste. Applying redstone acid to soften the rock beforehand allows the drill to extract more raw ore from blocks. A Large Fuel Tank increases the drill's internal fuel storage, extending its operational time between refills.

Buzzsaw

The Buzzsaw is a large, portable tool designed for quickly clearing trees and other foliage. Fit a sawblade and fuel it with Biodiesel or another accepted liquid at an Engineer's Workbench, and it will fell most kinds of tree. Like other tools, the buzzsaw can be modified at the Engineer's Workbench. Upgrades change how much fuel it holds, how many spare blades travel with it and how long each blade survives.

Replacing the standard sawblade with a Rockcutter Blade allows the buzzsaw to cleanly cut stone blocks, similar to a Silktouch effect. However, this diamond-tipped blade is not effective for cutting wood or felling trees. The Grinding Disk, made from aluminum grit in phenolic resin, is less durable but excels at cutting metal blocks, though it breaks easily on other materials. It doubles as an axe for two jobs: taking oxidation or wax back off copper, and stripping the bark from a log. A Large Tank increases the buzzsaw's fluid capacity by 2000 mb. The Advanced Lubrication System applies lubricant to the sawblade, slowing down its durability loss. Attaching a Blade Quiver allows you to carry two extra sawblades, which can be cycled through using a configured keybind.

Revolver

The Revolver is a robust weapon chambered for 12-gauge cartridges. Similar to the Mining Drill, it can be modified at an Engineer's Workbench. Firing the revolver is loud and will attract hostile mobs.

The revolver accepts different types of ammunition. Sneak and right-click to open the cylinder, then drop cartridges into the slots. Keep a loaded Speedloader on you and the revolver refills itself the moment you fire the last round. A Precision Scope allows zooming in with the revolver; use it to activate the scope and the mouse wheel to adjust magnification. Attaching a Bayonet provides close-quarters combat capabilities, giving it melee damage equivalent to an Iron Sword. The Extended Magazine allows loading six additional cartridges, which are not refilled by a speedloader. Amplifying Electron Tubes apply an electric shock to fired projectiles, which persists until impact and transfers to the target, stunning them briefly and slightly discharging any powered equipment they use.

Collapsible Glider

The Collapsible Glider is a device that allows you to glide through the air, performing similarly to an Elytra. However, it has lower durability and cannot be enchanted. Its lightweight construction of hemp and aluminum makes it vulnerable to high speeds, taking increased damage during nose dives or when accelerated by fireworks. Its materials are easy to obtain, and it can be repaired with hemp fabric, provided it does not completely break during a high-speed dive.

Chemical Thrower

The Chemical Thrower propels fluids from its internal tanks and can optionally ignite them. Fill it with any fluid at all, liquid or gas, and right-click to spray whatever is inside. To toggle the pilot light for igniting flammable fluids, sneak and right-click. As with every other tool here, its upgrades are fitted at an Engineer's Workbench. Upgrades can affect tank size, range, and spread. A Large Tank increases the fluid capacity by 2000 mb. The Focused Nozzle reduces the spread of sprayed fluids and slightly increases their range, allowing for more precise hits on distant targets. The Multitank allows the Chemical Thrower to store up to three different fluids, with the active tank selectable via a keybind. This upgrade is mutually exclusive with the Large Tank.
