Makeshift screwdriver for assembling furniture and other deployable structures. Can be used to package like a screwdriver.

Overview

Makeshift Screwdriver is an improvised hand tool item used to assemble furniture and other deployable structures. It functions as a practical substitute for the standard Screwdriver when constructing placeable objects, and it can also be used to pack items in the same way a Screwdriver is used for packaging.

The item is described consistently across multiple localizations as a rough or homemade screwdriver intended for assembly tasks and for packing operations. Its role in gameplay is mechanical rather than cosmetic: it enables players to complete the build step for deployable objects that would otherwise require a proper Screwdriver, offering an alternative when the standard tool is not available.

  • Use Makeshift Screwdriver to assemble furniture and other objects that require a screwdriver-type tool for deployment. It performs the assembly action equivalent to a canonical Screwdriver.
  • Use it to package or unpackage deployable items in the same manner a Screwdriver does; packaging interactions treat the Makeshift Screwdriver the same as a Screwdriver.
  • Treat the Makeshift Screwdriver as a utility item for construction and inventory management rather than a weapon or crafting component.
  • Because the tool is described as improvised or handmade, expect it to be presented as a low-tech, readily obtainable alternative in situations where a proper Screwdriver is absent.

Do not confuse Makeshift Screwdriver with fully featured tools that may provide additional functionality beyond assembly and packaging; the item is specifically intended for screwdriver-equivalent tasks for deployable objects.
