About MultiTool
Tired of swapping tools every time you build, wire, or plumb? MultiTool merges Rust’s most essential construction and utility tools into one smart, easy-to-use item — so you only need a single slot for all your tasks.
Core Features
-
6 Essential Tools in One Slot:
Hammer, building planner, wallpaper tool, wire tool, pipe tool, and hose tool — all combined into a single handy MultiTool item. No more juggling your hotbar or dropping tools when you need them most! -
Instant Mode Switching (by Default: “F” Key):
- To switch tool modes, simply tap your Flashlight key (F by default) while holding MultiTool. Each press cycles to the next available tool type.
- Switch roles on the fly: go from wiring to hammering or from fluid pipe to wall tool in seconds.
-
Automatic Mode Selection:
- When enabled in the config, MultiTool can automatically detect what you're aiming at (electric, fluid, or industrial slot) and instantly switch to the correct tool. Just look at the slot — no manual fiddling required.
-
Multi Planner Support:
- Seamlessly swap between standard building and boat planning with a single tool, also by pressing the F (flashlight) key.
-
Colorful ESP Highlighting:
- Visual power-users can enable ESP: all relevant slots or connection points on entities light up in color, making it easy to understand networks or lay out complex base wiring at a glance. ESP visuals, distance, colors, and refresh speed are fully configurable.
-
Wearable or Belt Use:
- MultiTool can optionally be worn on your back (like a backpack) or kept in your belt — you decide!
