Hi, I found hydraulic press, electric lathe and other industrial machines.

Are they useless, apart for dissassembly?

Thanks

The generic heavy/light machinery are probably usable only as sources of parts. Some of the other machinery can be “dismantled” into items that can then be installed as appliances and used as tools (assuming they’re powered by an appliance grid, of course).

Hydraulic press should have ANVIL 3 quality when powered. Its a shame that it is not on latest stable build.
