I love it, but the sonic resonator is immersion breaking

SpoilerSN2 - Discussion/Question

I cannot possibly be the only person to have made it and immediately tried to use it to fend off nibbler mangos only to find I can't do anything to them with it, yet I can use it to absolutely obliterate extremely hard materials like titanium and quartz? Using it on a nibbler's stupid head should cause irreversible damage.

Note: I am not part of the "make all things killable, let me destroy all" crowd--I actually fully support the devs decision to make this game about mitigation and evasion rather than aggression. But I don't think it's remotely possible to make a game using the technologies present in the current iteration that does not also allow killing of the creatures in the game without significant immersion breaking artificial barriers. That is what I take issue with.
