viewtopic.php?f=59&t=7294&p=77614#p77614 - Original suggestion here, Thanks Surr for pointing it out.
► Show Spoiler
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): If an engineer or whoever uses a welder on a resin structure it would be nice if it did more damage to said structure as you're basically cutting through the resin blowtorch style, also it would be great to encourage welders to be used for something else besides deconstructing every known wall possible on the map to make a glorious Fob.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Would make welders on resin structures more beneficial over a combat knife and would be nice for some relatively nice realism?
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Just make it so the welder does more damage to resin structures then a combat knife.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): coding.
2:20 am suggestion ideas, gotta love 'em.

-1 engineers are only for beating with baseball bats when they build too many walls, they can't possibly be made useful in any way or riot (+1)

+1.
I mean, the Engineers are sappers. Their whole thing is to cut through enemy fortifications.

According to the lore, flamethrower is the best weapon to deal both with aluems and their organic structures. And because welding tool is flame-based, it should work no less effective than FT on close distance. At least better than an even sharpest knife.
It might be great if it'll be possible to 'unweld' resin stuff by clicking on wall\door\membrane and wait until it collapse similar to how xenos breaking lights or generators being repaired, but simple x2-x3 damage over common knife damage fine too, +1
