Summary0012341: Welding laser direction
DescriptionThe welding laser attacks three squares in a line, but it's not made clear how the selection between horizontal and vertical rows of three squares is made. I wasn't paying enough attention to figure out if it was random or determined by some unknown procedure, but I'd like to suggest having a key which would allow you to switch between the two directions of attack. That would make the welding laser a bit easier to use, I think. Or if this is too exploitable, at least tell the player how the direction of attack is determined.

Presumably a new hotkey to toggle this while being held. Perhaps default-bound to ctrl or something.

For 0.926:

* Amended the Welding Laser tooltip and behavior with:
** Targets a vertical or horizontal area based on your facing relative to the target square, but will switch directions if you hold the alternate-fire-mode button (control, by default).

Thanks :)
