Were you being serious when you mentioned flamethrowers, or were you joking?

No, it was a joke. I'm very bad with jokes, I'm German.

And the flamethrower that folks saw in the show was literally a... I don't remember which rifle, but Will and Dave took the rifle and added flame to it. You're not actually looking at shooting a flamethrower at a power supply.

Yeah, the blowtorch was also [a joke]. It's more like you can bring up the heat of the room with life support and stuff like that. So you might have more non-violent ways of bringing up the temperature if needed.

Now, that's not to say that flamethrowers won't make it into the game. The Actor Feature Team is very keen on putting flamethrowers in. And I'm not saying that they wouldn't work; they might damage it. They're just not an intentional part of engineer gameplay, and they're not soon.
