When I mean "Tool in-game" I mean you are able to use your tool, but without functions just there for the look and work like props, if that makes sense. Say you have the eggplant tool, your able to equip it in-game and walk around with it and use it as a prop. But also there could be options in-game where you can enable "Tool Activity" which gives that certain tool and ability like how tools will normally work. I hope this makes sense and I don't sound like a complete dunce. (Which I probably do)

gamess.....

And so at least tools have some use and not die throughout time likes some other games.

But this will probably only go into consideration when the actual engine comes out.
