</>What does Power Tools do?
Solid sludge and thick smog are the two jobs that eat the most time in Sludgineers. Power Tools turns both into a formality. Flip it on and slide the Tool Power up. Your jackhammer swings wider, smashes harder, and lands far heavier critical hits, so crusted-on grime cracks apart in a couple of swings. Your air filter, meanwhile, sucks in a much bigger cloud of smog at once and pulls it in with real force, clearing hazy rooms almost as fast as you can walk through them. One slider drives all of it, so a modest setting feels like a serious upgrade and a high one feels unstoppable. Turn the toggle off any time and your jackhammer and air filter drop straight back to stock, so you can save the muscle for the big messy jobs and keep the vanilla feel for everything else.

</>Common questions about Power Tools
What does Power Tools do in Sludgineers?
Power Tools is a premium ProjectMods mod for Sludgineers that turns your two most time-consuming jobs — smashing solid sludge and clearing thick smog — into a formality. Flip it on and slide the Tool Power up, and your jackhammer swings wider, smashes harder, and lands far heavier critical hits, so crusted-on grime cracks apart in a couple of swings. Your air filter, meanwhile, sucks in a much bigger cloud of smog at once and pulls it in with real force, clearing hazy rooms almost as fast as you can walk through them. One slider drives all of it together, so a modest setting already feels like a serious upgrade and a high one feels unstoppable.
How does Power Tools change my jackhammer?
Power Tools gives your Sludgineers jackhammer three upgrades at once, all driven by the Tool Power dial. First, it hits harder, so solid rock and crusted sludge take far fewer swings to break. Second, its swing reaches wider, letting each strike cover more ground and clear clustered debris together instead of one lump at a time. Third, its critical hits land much heavier, so those lucky big-damage swings become genuinely devastating. Put together, a stubborn slab that used to take a dozen careful hits cracks apart in a couple. You control how far it goes with a single dial — keep it gentle for a solid boost, or push it high when a level is packed with the hardest, most time-consuming solid pollution.
Does Power Tools boost my air filter too?
Yes — Power Tools boosts your air filter alongside your jackhammer in Sludgineers, all from the same Tool Power dial. With it on, your air filter sucks in a much bigger cloud of smog in one go and pulls it in with real force, so hazy, polluted rooms clear almost as fast as you can walk through them. Where the stock filter might chip away at a smoggy area, the boosted version inhales it. That means the two slowest jobs in the game — breaking solid rock and clearing thick air — both get faster at the same time. You don't have to choose between a stronger jackhammer and a stronger filter; one slider lifts both together, keeping your whole cleanup moving.
What does the Tool Power slider control?
Tool Power is the single slider behind Power Tools in Sludgineers, and it sets how hard both your jackhammer and air filter work as one multiplier. Set it to 3 and you get roughly three times the hit power, swing width, critical damage and smog pull all at once; slide it higher and everything scales up together toward unstoppable. Because one dial drives both tools, you never fiddle with separate settings — a modest number already feels like a real upgrade, while a high one turns the toughest jobs trivial. You can adjust it whenever you like to match the level in front of you. Turn the Power Tools Enabled toggle off and both tools drop straight back to their stock values.
When should I keep Power Tools on or off?
Power Tools is designed to be kept on tap for the big, messy Sludgineers jobs and switched off when you want the honest grind. Turn it on for levels packed with solid rock or thick smog, where a stronger jackhammer and air filter save you real time, then flip the Power Tools Enabled toggle off to return both tools to their normal feel for lighter stages. Because it's fully reversible, you can save the muscle for the jobs that need it and keep the vanilla challenge everywhere else. It pairs naturally with Super Suction, which does the same thing for your vacuum, so between them your whole hand-cleaning kit can be dialled up exactly when you want it.
