Whenever i try to use my Acetylene torch (216) it says i need welding goggles to use it, but they are in my inventory. Earlier in the save they used to work but now since i went into a science lab they seem broken. I tried to spawn in new ones, but they wont work either.

Same here, Can’t use a Welder either to work on Vehicles, Says I Need a Powered Welder & Welding Goggles, I Have both but it only Recognizes the Goggles, I’m Guessing it’s a Bug as it says under the description “Seeing this is a Bug”, This is with 0.C-4869 Windows Graphical Experimental.

This is indeed a bug.

And definitely affects welders and such.
