I think they're not on there because then bayonets would be near infinite.

+1 anyway

It's probably because it's not there per the default Baycode.

You need cable to make the Autolathe to make cable to make other things. But you need cable to make cable... *Azmodan412 seizes up and falls limp, their eyes dead and lifeless...*

Ah crap. Now we gotta make a defib suggestion to revive azmo...

Otherwise I'd +1 that. Sounds like it could come in handy at times.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

It's not about being able to make the autolathe in the first place, it's about having access to a convenient source of wire

+1 Bumping, Seems like just an oversight from legacy code instead of balance that the autolathe doesnt produce cable coils. I think cable coils are recycled at 1500 metal and 1500 glass, so about that rate i think to make a new one.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!

+1. You theoretically have an infinite source of the other tools (given that req is functioning and there's an autolathe available), so cable coil should have the same treatment.
