I’m using the stable 0.C version, and my character was doing really well; I installed Integrated Toolset, Solar Panels, 400 bionic power so far, and I made a pretty good mobile base with a recharging station, which I put a rechargeable welder into. I also added in a vehicle welding rig, because why not!
Well, I crashed my little 2 tile size scavenging vehicle, but then when I pulled it out and got back home none of my welders were recognized by the mechanics screen. I could only start repairs with duct tape.
I have a standard welder, a welding rig, a powered Integrated Toolset AND a rechargeable welder, but none of them can be used on vehicles anymore ;-;

Are you sure your welders are either fully charged or have enough batteries to modify/install the part you need? For example, I don’t think a welder with less than 60 battery charges is capable of doing anything, and your rechargeable welder might’ve not charged enough power before the crash.

Do you have welding goggles nearby? Something I usually forget.

Goggles… Crap, I didn’t actually think of that. I’d better check up on that again, thx
EDIT: Yep, screwed up the goggles. I don’t even know where my old pair went, but I found some in a convenient garage~
