The Hammer is a multi-purpose basic tool used in the harvesting of resources, and the construction and repairing of vehicles and structures.

Description

The Hammer is a primary tool with many purposes. It has two modes: Build/Gather Mode, and Upgrade Mode. The current mode is displayed in the top left corner of the screen and can be toggled with . It can only be used when standing.

In Build/Gather Mode, it can:

• Repair damage on structures and vehicles (except Large Ships) by hammering them with Basic Materials in the player's inventory.
• Build many types of structures (check required tool for each option in the build menu).
• Build the blueprints that certain production structures (Garage, Shipyard, Construction Yard) spawn via their own selection menu.
• Gather Salvage from nodes at Salvage Fields, Coal from nodes at Coal Fields, and Wreckage from Rare Resource Nodes in the wild.

In Upgrade Mode, it can:

• Rebuild destroyed Bridges, Coastal Guns, and Shipyards.
• Upgrade certain structures.
• Show information about a structures or Build Site. It displays Health, Faction, original builder, power produced or consumed, Supply Source (with distance and direction), and reserving squad if reserved.

Each swing of the Hammer takes 1.1 seconds.

It is less efficient at gathering resources than the Sledge Hammer and Harvester, and unlike them it cannot mine Components or Sulfur.
