Madness, thank you for your answers
So there is always 4 per planet?
Per pool*
So reasonable setup would be a cabs with warps + each planet with warp?
I don't need S cab to get them all right?
Iβm not sure how MT hunting works. But found this S MT in Hicanpaav, Outlaw system at the station
System name is Donnes (Hicanpaav Galaxy)
got it thank you, so for 2-3 star system how many cabs to i need to setup? I'm confused with the extra cabs for extra tools as there is no good way to know if the pool have 2 tools of the same class?...
@tired remnant You need 4 cabinets minimum, because a pool can have 4 different models
okey so lets say I have 3 star system. And I will find A, B, C cabs... so what would be the extra one? since I have no idea what the pool looks like. Lets say the pool have 2 B tools. Does that means I will get the second B tool sent to the second B cab? Or there is only a chance?
Alright I think I will leave it at 4 for now, and just keep track of what I find so it would be more clear to me
finding possible hidden tools seems like a lot of extra work for less results for now
what is a good format to submit my results?
@tired remnant I definitely dont recommend going through all of this just for something to do. It is a lot of extra work for little gain aside from completionism, finding 3 cabinets for A, B, and C Class, you're going to clear better than 80% of all models available in systems, the only reason I care to do it is because I want to find Alien MTs with the best SC layouts for both Boltcaster and Pulse Spitter/Blaze Javelin, and I believe that it'll be easier to do that with an upgraded B Class than find a natural S.
I mean its not even clear what % it would be with 3 cabs. it depends on the pool. But yeah I rather move on to the next system and do it again. It is something to do for me I just see this as work intensive for the potential 20% at best
thanks for your input I think im ready now π
@amber pawn so I found 4 MTs on the planets pool with 2xC, B and A cabs. Now I'm doing System Pool against same cabs and so far I have only found this. Is this all it have?
I've checked it against 2 A cabs and 2 B cabs as well
Note: the system have only 2 planets
yes so far I have 4 on one, 2 in syste and 3 on another planet
i checked everything against 2 cabs of each class
@tired remnant As long as you identify all 4 models in any pool, you know for a fact that those cabinets are showing you every model for every pool π
thanks god for that and thank you
i guess im done with this one then
too back i didn't saved the coords for the cabs
im looking for a good way to share screenshots now
@fickle badger Here's what all 6 pools in your system spawn from the pillars on planet 2 (the address you gave). I believe your confusion may be from a pillar you found on another planet insystem that spawns regular MTs.
im looking at the regular tools
not pillars
what is the point of the pillars? royals?
Wasnt directed at you lol
And yes, 15% of planets with pillars spawn royal models
do royals spawn in regular cabs?
got it, so check every planets pillar too? π
If it has them. I just dupe Sentinel Boundary maps so I can trigger one on each planet insystem while scouting the regular MTs
Not every planet has pillars
can u dupe them with refiners?
Charts dont always find one on the same planet youre at, there is a small chance there actually are pillars there and it missed, but it's less than 10% so I dont waste time trying to be sure, I just check the planets the charts point at
And yes, anything that fits in an item slot is dupe-able
Are pillar Royals always class C? Thatβs all Iβve ever seen
Yes, as well as procgen names, and 1 important feature that isnt obvious; Royals arent locked to low tier damage when upgraded to S Class, with only unupgraded Mining Beam installed, they can hit 383.3 or 400.0 when they hit S Class. It's based on MT seed, and as far as I've seen ~1 in 3 rolls high damage.
@crisp rampart No, they can spawn up to A Class.
how do I get my first pillar map?
Killing Sentinels for loot, charts are a random drop from the Glass Shards
alright time to kick some glass
is there a point to check multiple pools against the pillar cab? Like if one pool doesn't have royal can others have it?
@tired remnant Nope, all royal or no royal
so pillar on another planet in the same system can give different result?
Yep
got it thanks
No they were definately on the same planet. My first new multitool was the pistol I got from the pillar before I even went to a new planet. I found the exotic later after being pointed to a pillar after killing wave 5.
I am sure the pistol was pre-Waypoint.
But yo DHarhanWulf there can be 2 separate pillar pools per planet. Some times.
@blissful sedge Gonna need evidence to believe that, when I was testing, I located 6-10 pillars on 5 different planets and never came across a planet that could spawn both types from pillars.
Both types?
I mean pools. Like if you find multiple pillars on one planet it is possible for there to be 2 separate pools.
Mostly this happens on prime planets. (Planets that were altered or added in from updates to the base game)
You need to try the same test you did on multiple systems not just planets.
My guess for my issue is that either Waypoint rerolled my pillars or I had a glitch.
@blissful sedge I did test with prime planets, and what actually happens is you get 1-2 exact duplicate royal spawns
The Inertial Entangler spawned for both Ralind's pool and Brenvix's
I went looking for some tools during a recent expedition. And during my expedition I found these tools from a pillar, and upon further searching I found a separate set of tools at the same pillars in the same system.
I found 0 royal tools in this system. All of these tools can be found at a pilla, and besides these tools I have shown above there is another set of tools from pillars
But they were kinda bad looking to me so I didn't bother searching them out.
What's a royal tool?
It's a style of tool
Ok
All different styles get these buffs to their stats
Does it have like bits of gold on it like the exotic starships?
It can. Gold or silver
Also I checked all these locations to be sure they are still accurate. And as of the start of polestar they are still. π
Also as you may be able to tell from the pictures I found these same tools at cabinets which had them at A class, the pillars I found had them at B class, so I only included the information for the A class ones.
But you can go here yourself and see exactly what I found. 2 separate pools in the pillars.
Um just to clarify those royal tools are all B or C class.
Oh
The message I sent a sec ago about A class and B class tools was directed towards DHarhanWulf about the above conversation
Lol you need nanites?
Nah I got plenty
Oh btw I have found an S class explorer
I have the title
But I think I accidentally scrapped the ship
Station? Trading port? Crashed?
Do you have the glyphs?
You found the S class explorer at the station, a trading post, and in a crashed state?
And you have the glyphs location for where you found the ship?
No I meant I only have all the glyphs
I don't know the portal cords for it either
I think I was in a gek system
Whenever you make a cool discovery you want to go into photo mode.
This shows the glyphs for your current planet in the bottom left. Also if you find a sentinel pillar or a crashed ship its also helpful for other players to have the planetary coordinates. Which you can find by using the analysis visor. It's shown in the top left.
I'll make sure to do that next time
Then it's lost to space bro.
Oof
WAIT
It was in a space station
I could go through all my visited stations until I find the right one
Like 1% of the entire game has been explored by all players combined since it's release.
If you have a short list that's possible. But as for me. I have discovered like 200+ systems at this point.
I have discovered probably 100 systems
So it shouldn't take long
I'll check all the 3 star ones
But I have to wait till school is done before I can start
Alright well man good luck to you. Also if you make any cool finds post them in the appropriate channels π
Also since you are gonna go back and check for ships and multitools remember 2 things.
There are 21 different ships per each system always.
The class of the tool in a cabinate is the important thing. Because the class means that's the cabinate class and all tools found in that cabinate will be that class or up or down 1 class. (Reloading from different planets shows different tools in same cabinate)
π
if it was in a space station, it wasnt crashed, meaning it was (probably) just luck that you got an s class. unless it was in the first wave
Im pretty sure it was in the first wave
@amber pawn this post says 5... is this outdated? https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/dm1rs9/multitool_spawning_mechanics_revised_guide_for/
124 votes and 93 comments so far on Reddit
@amber pawn if any of those help you
This is awesome. The fact the super slots can be different like this is incredible
@blissful sedge You missed the entire gist of what I was saying. Pillars on the same planet can spawn Royals or regular MTs, and no pillar will ever spawn some of both.
@amber pawn how do you deal with tons of warps in your menu?
Ok yeah I didn't notice you saying that.
I was just pointing out that if you go to a pillar you can find a list of guns from reloading on different planets. And on that same planet you can get another pillar that has a different set of guns in it.
@blissful sedge Incorrect, all pillars on the same planet spawn in the exact same class, with the same pool loaded, they all have the exact same model.
The only exception to the same class rule is in the case of a prime planet with biome specific crops that causes split class
Ok. Give me a little time and I will go back and track down the one planet with 2 pools of pillars and I'll show you.
Ok. So I already had farmed up 40 sentinel maps. And I have been checking every pillar on every planet.
So far i am only onto the 3rd planet, and havent finished with 3rd planet yet.. But here are a couple interesting things I found so far.
These are both on the same planet.
And this pillar is the first planet with the same pool of guns as the first picture, but not the second.
But this pillar is not from the same pool of tools as the 1st and 3rd picture but it is the same as the 2nd.
This message I am replying to has all the tools listed for each planet in the entire pool available in all the pillars.
I like the horns, you know you could press win + prtSc and screenshot will be saved to your pictures?
I am on switch
found this interesting fella
I am going to continue checking all the tools at all the pillars. On all the planets in this system and report back once I have more to share.
Wow cool. Have never found anything that neat yet
Started surveying systems for tools, its surprisingly bland π
Really? I think the two tone crystals are neat.
I mean out of the whole system there would be 1-2 interesting MTs
For sure.
@blissful sedge Definitely found yourself a split class caused by prime planet. Your previous post was all 7 natural A Class models, but due to the prime split youve stumbled on some natural B ones. If you were to scout regular cabinets, you'd find those same models eventually.
Yep I do have the coordinates and save beacons for both pools at cabinates.
But rip I used my expedition save to go back there (the leviathan expedition save) and I apparently changed one of the settings and now it's marked as a creative save instead of survival π’
Well I am out of maps. Lol π’
Only was able to do 3 planets with 40 maps
I think I am satisfied with my discoveries in this topic. I saw no other deviations on the 3rd planet. Many more maps would be required to continue checking as it's a 6 planet system.
But so yeah. I'm not saying it's common but there for sure are 2 separate pools of tools.

@blissful sedge Gotta be careful with the wording - 2 separate pools implies up to 8 different models can be pulled under the same load condition. Split class is not the same thing as an extra pool, it's more a fracture that allows a cabinet to flex class instead of the MT
But look carefully. There are 2 separate guns that I found that are both part of a separate pool of guns.
got messed up pool of 2 MTs only cabs were changing letters for all of the tools...
C cabs
B cabs
A cabs
Like there are 6 planets plus station. Which means there should be 7 tools for the entire system from the pillars. But I found 9 total tools.
@blissful sedge You're making a wrong association. Because of the split class, you were able to view multiple tools from the same pool when you should have only been able to access 1
I know this may be coming across as nitpicky, but its an important distinction
These are 2 separate pillars. Both of these pillars have different tools. Than all the other pillars
Go to this system and check for yourself. You will see what I mean. You can just do your map duplication thing and find all the pillars on all the planets and you will see what I am saying.
Okay, I give up on trying to explain this through text - please do DM me glyphs, when I have time I'll go check it out so I can make a more visual presentation of what I'm trying to explain
@amber pawn this is the system with glyphs and coordinates to one of the cabinates.
Euclid?
Yes
So maybe I am explaining it badly. But when I say pool's I mean group of guns.
From most of the pillars I get the regular system tools. And I find those same guns in the cabinates too.
But a couple of those pillars do give different guns that the other ones don't give. Even if the pool is smaller or it's fractured and leaking more tools from one individual planets pool. It's still access to another pool or group of guns that you don't see at all the other pillars.
I also did say it's not common or anything. But only that it is possible to find 'alternate guns' or in other words another pool from the pillars.
Just like with the cabinets.
And trust me. I asked in the help channel and everything. I looked up videos and asked a bunch of people. Everyone says the same thing. That you can only get C class royals and that you can only get 1 set of guns from all the pillars. And I have seen in person myself that both of those aren't 100% accurate all the time. But generally they are right most of the time.
So hopefully how I clarified what i mean, and you being able to see for yourself how the pillars are in this system will clear up our misunderstanding. π
fun story so I was mining asteroids and attacked some poor korvax dude so we had to fight and then sentiels showed up( I was going to one of the planets to switch active pool) landed on it and had too fight 5th wave... So as usual it unlocked the pillar coords. found this:
not royal expert so don't know if its good or not, I don't have a nanite problems so
Yep C class is fine but you can find them B or A. I haven't seen any S for them yet but probably are out there somewhere.
@blissful sedge Okay, while still not 100% clear, I understand much better what you're trying to convey. And I agree, there are a lot of so-called MT "experts" who are friggin clueless, shakes head at the fact that Royals were C Class only for a matter of ~10 weeks after release and yet to this day "experts" are ignorant of the change. I happily concede that while they were too busy talking, you observed a strange behaviour and investigated - terminology confusion aside, I appreciate your curiosity and pursuit of the truth. π
I thought royals spawned from c to a class. am I wrong?
That's correct from the information gathered so far. But it's possible there is an S out there. As players we have only discovered ~1% of the game since it came out.
there is a diffrence between what is possible, but a low chance, and something impossible because it has not been coded into the game
is it coded into the game than a S class royal can exist?
I have no idea. I'm not a game coder or script master.
But I do know that things that are not programed to happen can still happen. And in fact things programed to specifically never happen can still happen.
I have already experienced things "impossible" in NMS and I have only had the game since November
Someone told me once that they found one. But they never showed me a picture. So π€·ββοΈ
Glyphs:
(Puhyl III, Nodarn Modeb XV, Euclid)
Pillar: +34.14, -3.05
description: Royal C Class Multitool
colors:
white / gold
brown / gold
yellow / gold
brown / black
gray / black
blue / black
Wow really nice find.
Thanks, other than that all 7 pools were burning trash besides this guy I guess
i mean this is as exiting it gets there
I have found 3 S class cabinates recently. But I have just been too busy to see what all the guns are.....
Maybe I'll do that by tomorrow this same time. I'll make it a goal.
#nolifesky
I did 3 systems today lol
you don't need S cabinet to see what pools are. Pools never generate native S tool
2 of C, B, A should cover everything total of 6 cabinets
Well I mean I found 3 natural S cabinates at the stations. But haven't checked them out yet.
thats pretty lucky
Yeah. I agree.
So um. What do you guys think of my boltcaster with only 3 super slots? And not all the S grades are that good either. Most of these are just the 1% damage ups
you should try and see where the 4th slot is. could be just underneath the cluster in the middle and might be able to make synergy.
Yeah I just need to get more expansion slots
So I found this on the black market space station, why does this S class rifle only have 14 slots?
this is my boltcaster build i was working on. the boltcaster SM blueprint makes a huge difference tho
im still not sure what types of module bonuses make the best build tho. i just went in prioritizing the 2%dmg and 19-20% fire rate. its confusing to test as there are 6? available bonuses but max 4 per module.
Not really showing off a multitool but is this the place where I'd drop the name of a system I just discovered with an S rank multitool for ~5,000,000 units?
Yes
Haymnac, I'll send a photo of the runes in a sec
I think the best 4 are
damage %
Fire rate %
Reload speed
Shots per mag.
this is the same build without the SM blueprint
What's the SM blueprint?
Euclid?
It's funny because I can't even afford it atm because I just dropped all my units on freighters but yeah glad to be of service
only avaliable to people who played the game on day1 (edit: for PC players)
Dang. π’ I'm on switch bro
New player, what does this mean?
The galaxy you are in
allthough i guess now tech can be repackaged ii dont see any reason why they cant be shared with others
Go to the galaxy map and it says which galaxy in the top
I'm there
4 planets, 2 moons, Korvax, Technology economy - advanced, sporadic conflict
Nope. In your space ship. Open the map to warp. In the top it says Euclid
That's the system. On the discoveries page. Not the galaxy on the galaxy map
Okay I see what you're saying now my bad
I'm there now, I don't see Euclid though, I guarantee I'm j missing something though
Or is that what the F2f means?
This.π
There are 200+ galaxies and the same glyphs for each. So It makes a huge difference where you end up when using glyphs if you aren't in the correct galaxy
I see
so dmg would be due to adjacent SC?
a combination of the supercharge slots and the boltcaster SM blueprint. also 3 fairly decent X class mods
its almost max. only thing that would make it better is if the 4th slot was adjacent to the lower right slot of the "cube" like this
yeah im looking right now for better layout for current tool in A cabs I want that 3x π
this game is some wierd gatcha
where to find this?
the SM module? it was only avaiable to people who played the game when it was released on PC
the same way the photonix core(pulse engine upgrade) was only available to people on ps4 that played at the start
or if you mean the tool i have no idea. i got it some time ago and cant remember where
alright, keep your secrets π
it actualy might be this one
^^
alight, 40 more minor settlements, lets go! #nolifesky
#NoMansSouls
nothing...
the gun location
#nms-multitools message @wary horizon
sure thing. also are there other compacted 4 super charger alien guns? my one isn't refreshing in the starter galaxy
i haven't played much since 4.0 dropped. is there a way to choose where the SC slots go without save editing?
No
No, but you can find the same tool with different slot arrangements at different cabinets
true
Late reply but I have a link to a YouTube video about an alien with 4 touching SC slots if you want it
sure thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpA_04KtLyM
Should be it, Can be kinda hard to find as there were very many bases there
@blissful sedge interesting thing, I went searching for one of the pillar MTs you posted the other day. I found it, but the SC slots were different
Elkupalos galaxy
Probably you found a different pillar than I did.
That changes the SC? It isn't specific to the gun?
It is possible to get different super slots from a different cabinet. And since a pillar is basically a cabinate yes. It should be possible for different super slots.
That is neat. Thanks for the info!
Arenβt there alien multi tools?
Whereβs that one at?
I dunno
Dang ok thanks
!nmsgelink
Lots of shared addresses for lots of things
You can also search multitool in #explorers-archive for some
pardon my ignorance, but what's a pillar?
It's called a sentinel nest or pillar.
It gives you a multitool for free that's in a broken state, and you can shit down the sentinels from that planet with it.
Wait... what are you doing to the Sentinels? No wonder they're always actin wrong. You're out there rilin' em!
Yeah out there farming them up. And since all players have a shadow they always think I'm there.
S-class multi-tool and yellow Royal multi-tool. Both in the same system. Kikogallr Galaxy.
I have a question. I was looking for an alien pistol and found a few. Turns out at least 1 was called a "mid-rifle". Is that a thing or is it just a short rifle? Also saw one called an smg. Im confused on what those do since the rifle does damage and the pistol is for mining.
These are the bonuses that each weapon type receives
And these are the appearance differences for all the weapons.
How to tell if it's a pistol or a rifle? Check the number of slots it has.
Pistols will always have less slots than rifles.
@blissful sedge @uneven ivy
Wait one of the pistols is an experimental though.
The subnautica looking one
Or wait. So double barrels always means pistol?
Does the small rifle do less than the large?
@uneven ivy No, they both get rifle bonuses
@blissful sedge yes to double barrels, and there are no hybrid bonuses, MTs get only 1 set of bonus rolls
Okay and from the looks of it, there are no mid pistols so I guess I have like 3 alien small rifles
I know the only get 1 bonus set, but why would they make a pistol that looks exactly like an experimental?
Thanks for the info
@blissful sedge the starter pistol came long before experimentals
Wait, from the first image posted. Does that mean the alien pistol and alien rifle do the same?
I thought rifle for damage and pistol for mining
Alien = Alien regardless of size
Damn that kinda sucks finding out after searching and setting up both xD
Yes alien pistol and alien rifle have the same bonus to stats because they are both alien
Well I guess at least now I can just use my halloween alien tool. That works
the biggest mystery is why they basically copy pasted the experimental stats for the royal mt's. especially given that the scan bonus is completely useless. royals should have had mid bonuses for all stats like the exotic ships.
and thinking logically, rifles should have the mining bonus and pistols should have had the flat stats.
I can agee with the Royal part. For me it makes sense that rifles would be damage based instead of mining
ok yeah your probably right
it should probably go something like this
pistol - no bonus
small rifle/smg - mining bonus
large rifle - mid dmg bonus
experimental -scan bonus that actualy works and gives unit boost
Royal - mid bonus for all stat
Alien - large dmg bonus but reduced mining and scan
I can agree with some of that but i think the pistol for mining fits, maybe a small mining bonus for pistol
So then everyone would run 3 tools. 1 alien 1 experimental and 1 small rifle.
yea and there would be a progression and some specialization
Most people would probably give up after 2
or just run a royal as a best mid ground
Do you think it would be worth running alien and royal, Royal for mining and scan and alien for damage or just stick to alien
Starting with something doesn't make its entire type of weapon bad tho.
@uneven ivy the best pairing is Pistol + Alien
Royal/Experimental is best for all-in-one MT
I can agree with this based on the bonuses
I dont like the look of pistols but I love aliens
I dislike the look of most Pistols, but this one from a Shadow Star was a coincidence too good to pass up.
Don't look at it.
What is a "shadow star"?
@blissful sedge 1 star in every region can be warped to, but not Portalled to, thats the Shadow Star
I am confused what that means.
When you dial the Portal address it registers as corrupt and you arrive at a different system, so the only way to reach it without teleport access is by using hyperdrive. @blissful sedge
Oh. I see. I have never found a system I can't warp to yet.
How do you know you found one?
You can warp to it, you cannot Portal to it. Only way to know for sure is to dial the address in a Portal and see if it registers as corrupt.
Found out something new today. Nice
So I may have already found several of them and don't know it.
Well that's a rip. That means glyphs are no longer reliable I also will need to like write down the system name to be sure I know where these glyphs take me in case that happens
only time i see that address corrupt redirecting message is when i do the
to get to the galaxy centre
There's such a small chance of stumbling on a shadow without looking that youre better off considering glyphs reliable abd only look into it if someone says coords dont work
But that's the thing. If the glyphs don't work I won't know where that was anymore. In my massive list of systems I discovered on what planet....
Is X > S?
X can be way better than S, or considerably worse. Xs can require a lot of farming.
There are duping tricks that can ease the pain, if youre into that.
Decided to search for my own MT. This is what I found. Euclid galaxy -57.92 +112.59 ilbanklin ride
Edit: is in a βPrime poolβ system so may not be exact.
Does the multitool box not lock to the class anymore? I found that experimental, marked the settlement itβs in, then started going to the other planets in the solar system to load their pool. Then Iβd come back to this box and it should be the S class of the planet I had loaded on. That was true for the first 2 planets but the third one changes the box to a B class box. Is that a thing now?
You have found a prime planet with a split class
i had the same issue just now. found the S experimental at +65.36 , +148.61
The same one as above?
same name and class different stats it seems
Then it's simply another cabinate. Cabinates can vary up or down 1. So it could be an A or S
Did you find it on ilbanklin ride? One of t he moons?
Check the station cabinate.
I went to your message. reloaded on the planet saw a B multitool. Got in my ship and used a planetary chart to find the next closest inhabited marker. which is where i found the multitool
Interesting.
PC vs console perhaps? I'm on pc
I am on ps5 but that cabinet is S class for 4 planets and B class for one.
Iβm going to go to your S cabinet and see what I find.
sounds good. In any case, thank you for the find!
That cabinet is a C class for me. Also, the big reason Iβm flustered is because erga f8 has a cooler looking experimental but it shows as a B in my S cabinet.
What does that mean?
Prime planets are planets that were updated later or added into the game later and can have strange phenomenon on them. Like the split class multitool, or possibly even 2 pools of multitools
@blissful sedge In T1 and Outlaw systems, natural A Class can flex down to C.
Oh I thought it could only go down 1. Good to know
And we talked about this, saying 2 pools is misleading.
Split class is the accepted term.
Split class only implies that the same exact guns with different classes can be found.
2 pools suggests that you can possibly find more tools than are normally in the system which is what I found.
In order for 2 pools to actually be possible, saving and reloading on the prime would guarantee 4 non-royal models available in cabinets minimum, with up to 8. Unless you can show me a single instance where 5 different non-Royal models are available in the same session, you didnt find 2 pools. @blissful sedge
This planet (moon) only had 4 different tools. Each tool fluctuated up or down one class. There was nothing strange in the 40+ cabinets on the planet I searched. The only weird thing is that when I go to the other planets and tap into their pool then head back to the S cabinet, the tool is an S for all but one planet. That planet is a B class experimental.
I went to every single planet and reloaded and went back to the same cabinet. Checked all the guns in the system. Total 7 different ones including the one from station. But upon searching for more cabinets and pillars I found more tools at both cabinets and pillars. More than 7. More than 1 per planet. Which to me at the least suggests there are more guns available within the planet and system.
Maybe it's not 2 "pools" and is instead other guns that aren't Normally being seen that are available when they Normally aren't, I would still call this 2 pools because there are the guns you can normally get listed and there are 7 of them. But you can find more than 7 (1 from each planet and station) those being the second pool.
@blissful sedge A "pool" specifically means the 2-4 models assigned to a specific planet or the space station. Split class may have resulted in the ability to see more of a single pool, but that's it. Calling it multiple pools just confuses an already complex issue.
Well then we need to come up with another better common ground term for this phenomenon because split class is just as misleading as 2 pools is
I am more than happy to accept any term you want to use that isnt already in use for MTs, lol.
How about a "Prime pool" as it doesn't actually imply anything it can't be misleading.
Works for me
So Iβm in a T3 with 4 planets AND 2 moons, with a space station. My experimental S class is on one of the 2 moons that orbit a planet. 3/4 planets and the other moon all give me an S class tool in the cabinet. The planet that the moons orbit AND the space station (that has an A class cabinet) both give me a B class tool in my S class cabinet. Also the player above went to my S cabinet and it was a B for them. They were able to find another S cabinet and get the tool but that cabinet was a C cabinet for me.
@sinful owl That's the result of split class due to prime planet.
So should I take down my post so other people donβt think Iβm lying or canβt find it?
I might be biased but you put me in spitting distance of the multitool so I appreciate the post @sinful owl
Iβm stoked that someone was able to benefit from the post. Enjoy!
I would just edit to include the Prime pool tag so people know some weirdness may happen
For anyone interested, I believe the planet that is the βprimeβ is a volcano (erupting) planet. When I pulse around the planet, I donβt go around like all others, my ship goes into the atmosphere and takes me out of pulse. It is the same planet that gives me the B tool in me S cabinet.
Found this at an Outlaw station
Now, if you donβt know, you should be able to go to each planet in the system, one at a time save and reload then come back each time and itβll be a different S class tool.
I like the colours!
@outer storm FYI, natural S multitools in outlaw systems arent locked to high tier dmg like elsewhere, so it isn't worth hunting S Class cabinets - but lucking into an S at the Space Station is never a bad thing, so nice find. π
does anyone know what a geology cannon is actually good for??
'splosions
like as a weapon? cos the splosions are so small
Good for mining densely packed resources, and blowing up sentinels... or yourself
sounds like fun lol
You can upgrade dmg area
yeah i just grabbed some upgrades
Quickly ending a
playthrough
anyone know how to lower recoil (especially on boltcaster)? its so annoying
tiny sentinels, large recoil, not fun
Get an upgrade with burst cool down reduction
whats a bust cool down
Burst
Each time you pull the trigger there is x amount of time till you can pull it again. It reduces that. Which is also because of recoil
gulf livery
So I picked up a C class royal pretty early in the game but have been using my A class rifle as I had no idea about inherent type bonuses (doh!). What's the full nanite cost to upgrade a C class through the levels as the royal seems to be the best single MT if you aren't swapping tools.
Lurking here for alien multitools π
50,000 from A to S
25,000 from B to A
ty. Getting to A not tooo bad. That jump to S though...
Just farm sentinels
lol. thought that was some type of bonkers nanite farm you had going till I notice how large your stack sizes were. Have a couple stacks of glass I haven't opened yet, time to see what they have.
It has begun
Bam
Of course the moment I start spending on the orange that I don't really like for a color, a yellow with gold trim one drops.....
Oooo dang those look good Shadow
Found this in the space station of my first Eissentam system I spawned in
Needs fixing but cool colored Royal.
use the combat scope, helps significantly
what did i just find??? its like a ... living gun?
scroll up. you'll see a cool image identifying multitools@outer surge
That's called an alien multitool
Anyone have a location for an s tier multi tool or an alien multi tool
theres alien rifles right? or are they all pistols?
@quick glade Yes, but one thing you must be clear on - Rifle/Pistol the type gets specific bonuses, rifle/pistol/smg the size applies to anything, and determines the maximum number of slots that an MT can be purchased with.
So an Alien Pistol does not have both maximum damage & mining - it gets Alien bonuses only, and is limited to a max of 16 slots at purchase because it is pistol-sized
i see
between experimental rifles, alien rifles, and royals, which is best for potential damage?
Alien wins in the damage category, period. Nothing else can hit its lowest damage roll
Let alone compete with it
@quick glade Alien MTs get Alien bonuses. They dont have a bad scan stat, but whether bad, good, or zero, the Scan stat holds the same measure of usefulness to players, which is to say none.
idk i like to get 500k+ when scanning new things
That's entirely due to the Analysis Visor upgrade mods you bought/acquired thne installed + whatever synergy bonuses theyre receiving
Scan stat plays no part in the calculation
I was hoping it applied to hotspot detection range but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Scan Pulse only, aka how far you wanna see sodium and oxygen flowers light up. @deep rover
So ultimately the best multitool is alien. At least imo.
Because damage and not bad mining speed.
You can go with experimental, or royal as a good alternative for 10 extra mining but at the cost of 10 damage. So it's a balanced trade off.
That extra mining speed might help if all you do is mine, but you can get some pretty good buffs for your mining laser speed on alien tool anyway.
Mining laser maxed out does well against all sentinels. π
Really?
no kickback..... lasts longer without any reload
When you say does well you mean it can destroy them quickly?
is a literral leaf blower with creatures
Yeah that's true on bodies.
try it, and get some laughs doing it
But mining laser vs armor is really bad. Low damage and you will have to recharge the laser eventually.
But I think I'm gonna stick to my 1 burst boltcaster doing 19k
I prefer boltcaster, also. But I don't really worry about switching from the mining laser whenever sentinels harrass me
I guess it depends on your damage settings
test it, see what you think
I have. It does 60 damage to one per second.
They have about 1,000 HP
That's way too long to defeat each individual one.
it wont let me upload my little video clip of using it
File too large
yup
Rip.
But yeah it takes like 8+ seconds to defeat one sentinel with mining laser if you were doing double my mining speed or damage.
I can defeat one in 1 second with my boltcaster. Unless it was just a single healer drone idk if I would ever use mining laser seriously.
Maybe to mess with a sentinel that's far away sure. But that's it
π
How does one obtain an alien multitool?
Iβve seen way more in tier 3 economy systems, check planets besides stations
S class idk Iβm still looking best alien Iβve found is b class
Follow directions to one someone has already found. Or be lucky enough to find one yourself.
Euclid Galaxy

+6.79, -54.46
I also left communication hub
I was just using a rifle as it was white like my outfit and had a minimum silhouette until I learned about type bonuses. Then found I had a royal and alien in my inventory (probably from sentinel clears). Alien is the pistol in all black with a ring of teeth around end of the barrel. Now using royal for walking around and mining and the alien for fights.
Thought I had 2 aliens as I had another pistol that looked normal except for a crystal shard for the magazine, but guess that's just a different design of a pistol class.
You also you know that alien only gets the alien buff. There is no difference in stats with alien pistol and rifle at all.
Ya, assuming experimental is the same way though I haven't come across those yet.
Want a cool little experimental?
I found this one in euclid
White with blue smear experimental, with black and blue two tone crystals.
Question for you, how to tell an experimental? My two pistols look like the fourth and last one in the list. When I compared mine that looks like 4th in the image, it just said pistol.
Several ways to tell. First is their number of slots. Pistols have the least slots.
Second is by their appearance.
Here is a picture from above.
Ah. You meant only the white one in your list was the experimental?
All good, didn't read the text of the image at first and thought you were posting a list of several experimental. I'm new, I can still have those mistakes. 
π no worries. I get what you mean.
looking for an S class pistol with a stock
@spice shuttle mind sharing the coordinates of the MT you try to find?
opps sorry
@modern venture there ya go^
sorry i got confused in between the two channels
yep
Can you stack cloak mod?
I don't think so.
Mission successful
Glyphs? Galaxy? Coordinates?
Also awesome π
I like the white with green little things in the back. It looks cool
Pulled them from youtube, will need to look it up again later. Was debating between white with the black diamond pattern or the green tubes. Went with green even though one of the recent updates dropped the known spawn location of the pistol from S to A.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkDoAactbcI&t=88s
for the first multi tool if you don't see the experimental do not grab it.
go to space and go to the space station and get out of your ship and reload a "restore point" in menu options then finally go to the portal and there should be a jayfh portal will go directly to the minor station
I think Hero is cool and makes helpful videos, but advising players to delete their save file to get a gun and risk starting the game over again is A not something that hero says in any of his videos, and B not something anyone should try at all or is needed to be attempted.
it was a suggestion. It's safe as i use this in other games and clicking on "delete everywhere" will delete the entire game file. I'm familiar with this save method. It's a time frame method. sure thing
But for what reason do you need to do this at all?
if you fail to do it on xbox the first time the other method can help fix it
No. But why even do this. It is not required to do this to save your game on xbox.
That is the all white experimental pistol with green charge tube. As noted in comments, spawns as an A now instead of S.
You can find the matching experimental rifle in this video. Still an S type.
If you want the black diamond pattern instead of pure white with green tubes, there are also a couple vids with that combo.
How!?
wait how do you know if the multi tool is expirimental or not
bc theres one in my station that has same design and colors but its trash and cheap
like same colors and everything
ohh cool
Also there is no such thing as a pistol experimental. It is either an experimental or it's not. Same for alien. It is or isn't.
All guns get their one type of buff and that is all
like its shaped like a pistol
Yes but it's either a pistol OR an experimental. There are no pistol experimentals
ok got it
LF for multitool with SC slots like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpA_04KtLyM
either alien or pistol, dont care about the others
and if the fact that multitools do get a stat bonus if they spawn at s class is true, at s class too, please.
Best Alien MultiTool S Class with 4 SuperCharger Together No Man's Sky Waypoint
in this video i will show you Best Alien multitool S Class with 4 supercharger touching each other for Best Bounses Found by : @Wilding777
Please Go Check his video for it : https://youtu.be/TNz2b3YcBh4
Also His Channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/Wilding777
He...
you mean like this one
exactly like the one in the video, yes, but for some reason that location isnt working for me, lol
Well, if you figure it out it's still available there π
I portaled in, pulsed over to the spot, landed on the station pad and walked right in and could pick it up. I do have multiplayer off if you missed that.
I missed that the first time. trying again in multiple diffrent ways did not help. i've got a solution, but thanks
if anyone can confirm this btw:
and if the fact that multitools do get a stat bonus if they spawn at s class is true, at s class too, please.
is this the most rifle like a alien can be?
Yes
able to trade MT with others or nah
@spice shuttle In regulated systems, yes, natural S Class is weighted to high tier damage, and upgraded is weighted to low tier everywhere
No MT trading
damn
I despise this with the entirety of my being bc if I dont get a natural S class I will constantly nag myself about it lmaooo
The best answer I can find is that bonus based on stat seems locked in for multi tools, but may have been removed at some point for ships. The only way to really know may be to get a saved filed editor and look up the details there.
That's backwards, it's an override that was applied only to MTs
So starting class only matters to ship now? Guess that makes me feel better about farming portals last weekend π
You interpreted the wrong thing when I said backwards
Starting class matters more for MTs than ships
Ah. Have a white fighter with green eyed R2 that you just saved from the salvage pile.
@spice shuttle Other than the crystals, goes well with the outfit
ya true.
I had gotten 2 C class royals recently, one in a color I didn't like and since I know now starting class matters more for them it was out she goes.
@deep rover Royals are an exception, natural S Class doesnt exist
lol, the secrets!. Kept the yellow with gold so still have one in inventory.
any way to sell or rearrange my MTs?
I just realized while setting this up for mining, it has 3 of the 4 slots adjacent as a bonus.
afaik the only way to get rid of MT's is by swapping it for another MT
it infuriates me
And that doesn't change position. Saw mention before about using a save file editor to change order and that's about the only way. More annoying with your default ship slot.
NMS really needs a QOL update for picking MT's, ships,(and maybe allow swap ship in the space station), and probably building
but I like complaining
Once you get 6 you will always have 6. No way to reorder them unless you could get rid of it and get it back again.
i cant use a pillar right? like i cant put one into it to change it for another one
yes you can, anytime you interact once you are at 6 your option is to swap or decline.
you can. you can see if what it offers is good, then decline and swap to a spare MT and ask for it again from the pillar to then swap
no can i swap multi tools and be able to get the one i put in back
cause i think its a no
no, once what you currently have has left your inventory, it's gone for good
thought so
This is not entirely true. Once you no longer have the tool you should be able to get it again at a cabinate or pillar (if it wasn't a unique special event type)
Was just messing around on creative mode punching random addresses and found this S Class.
Galaxy #001
Euclid... You can see where the third super slot is gonna be
thx :)
np. that's the best mining tool you can get right now afaik.
Anyone have a royal multi tool that is s class in first 12 glyphs
hi. you asked the reason of why i do this. I know it's not required
maybe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkDoAactbcI&t=88s
there are 2 royals that will spawn the red and blue one. if the red one don't spawn go to space station and get out the ship and reload a save then go to the portal and find jay portal to the s class
Those are not S class though
According to an earlier statement, there are no S class royals in game.
That's what I said.
oh
i got some maps that we have a chance to get you a royal on and the tainted metal needed for the nanites to upgrade if anyone wants in
I have found a pillar that spawns A class royal MTs, I can share the coords if you're interested
Ping me later
If u upgrade it s and add some s class upgrade it'll damage like 3000
A class has 3 super slots... And you can see the other two and there is only one spot left in the grid... So there is a 50% chance that it might become a super slot... Once you do get a super slot there you can then upgrade it to S class...is what I would suggest.
But upgrading it to S class first is also a way but it might randomise the other two slots
Yaa
Experimental with alien horns?
this is not an experimental. its a pistol. i think any weapon has a small chance to have bones/horns i think they are more common on aliens tho. come to think of it i dont think i have ever seen them on experimentals
its the same with the crystals. more common on aliens but can get rare pistols/rifles with colored crystals
Gotcha I was confused I thought alien was only one to spawn crystals or horns
there are lots of experimentals shared with horns or crystals. I don't like either of them, though.
Iβve only found one alien so far itβs red with pink crystal and horns, damage is great for sentinels
B class just ended up buying it to s
I like the looks of this in the image, but when I use it, the horns distract me when I am trying to aim. I'm old and shake too much π
Thatβs a nice looking one
this is my current one I just grabbed
Nice i have same one in red
Experimental are imo best mt there is...good for fighting...mining and scan..
me too, and orange. Guess when we like a certain thing, we really like it, eh
oh, and green
I kinda stumbled upon it when doing a mission...
Its been with me for quite a while now
great looking tool
you use the same weapons I do.... even though most times I shoot everything with the mining laser
16k damage nice
What are ways I find planetary cabinets? Which of the data items find those buildings?
And are planetary cabinets qualitatively better than stations, on the whole?
Commercial Maps. Minor Settlements. Just another Cabinet, no better or worse than the Station.
That's an awesome MT. Could you share it's glyphs?
I got it on a settlement during nexus misson. But see if you can find a similar one in this channel...use discord image search....or you can use nms ce...they prolly have it
here is a cool one from Austintacious if you like the horns;
That's sweet! Ty for the share!
Austin has a catalogue of really great finds.
So you don't have the glyphs?
No...
I could have shared cords but idk why but my list of discoveries got cleaned to new
So systems that were found by me were there just not showing in my list and still quite a few missing
π’ dang. That's unlucky.
Not quite coz my own system has few good ones as well... I have best one soo far
This is better than previous one coz it has all 4 super slots available
Hope I won't attract the no-Horny Police π
found a pistol at a sentinel pillar
A class with boltcaster + barrel ioniser + optical drill and 3 supercharged slots close together
some repairs arent hard to collect parts for
coordinates are +24.42 +128.21
if you reload autosave on other planets it might change the way it looks but im not sure
if the autosave is reloaded on the cabled moon, this multitool will appear instead
more space, also comes with geology cannon and paralysis mortar, but more slots to fix
its also a rifle instead
finshed checking all planets
no exotic/experimental
that last one looks interesting, almost like an smg with the small stock.
Yeah it's pretty mean looking with that horn.
Also these names are pretty fire π₯
Idk how I found so many S class tools in such a short time span tho.
Crazy.
I also have no clue how in the world I ended up in Budullangar Galaxy
Gives you options π
Alright. Well all the searching and note taking and picture taking and file sharing and typing and messaging process to bring you these fine multitools has tired me out, plus it's 11 pm. So I'm gonna go to bed.
π have a good one see you around
Howd you all think, does this royal match my character's colours?
π
You were talking about the gun...yeah it definitely matches
To the point i couldn't see it
Thanks mate!
Unfortunately it's a C-class, but I guess I'll take it.
MTs are not like ships, their % bonuses aren't class-dependant, am I right?
Not sure
But if you'd like to get an A-class royal MT, you can visit my base
Problem is I don't know if it will be possible to spawn one in your color scheme
How is it possible for a MT to only have 2 SC slots at A class?
in an unpurchased slot?
Mining beam is in usual slot, just can't remove it
The SC slots can spawn in top 4 rows of tech
Unlock the slots in 4th row, there should be 1 SC slot more
Thanks! Was quite disappointed at first, found the 3rd slot.
Anyone know of a black&white Alien rifle with gold crystal ?
YouTube has black and white w black crystal
link ?
In today's video I'm going to show you how you can get your hands on these awesome Alien multi-tools in No Man's Sky.
It's an green Alien Pistol with a purple crystal, an gray Alien Pistol with black crystals and an black Alien Pistol with red details and spikes.
They are S-Class multi-tools with 16 slots 433.3 Damage and a scanner range of 226....
More greyish but still cool
Just search multi tool in yt couple nice ones w glyphs
What is the coolest MT you guys have ?
That looks awesome π
The starter multi tool
would it be better to SC the base scan module rather than the best upgrade?
No
thats not true for most things tho, correct?
It could help to boost it. It's always smart to shift things around a bit yourself to check the numbers. It could change drastically depending on which boosts you have on your upgrades
One I have boosted is a pretty stupid upgrade already, and I swapped it around to boost the scanner module and it netted worse performance so π€·
This is a fantastic upgrade. I wish I had this
supercharging those stats should not make it worse.... does it????
No it makes it much better, I am talking about rearranging my upgrades so that the scanner module is the one supercharged, not an upgrade, which indeed DOES make it worse. Keep ur upgrades SC
ok, right, that is how I have my X modules, in the SC
yes, that appears to be the correct way, although I guess if you have very low level upgrades it could be more beneficial to boost the scanner itself?
I understand your original comment better
I read it in a different way the first time
no worries
@versed oyster Boosting the Scanner itself will have no effect except on range of scan pulse iirc
I see that being true but it doesnt make much sense
I mean, guns on ships and the multi tool see a bigger benefit having the weapon itself SC'd rather than an upgrade
It makes perfect sense if you understand that SC only affects numerical stats tied to modules. Weapons all have a base damage stat tied to them.
so wouldnt it make sense the scanner as a base stat tied to it aswell for rewards?
Thats not a base stat the Scanner possesses
If anything itd be tied to Analysis Visor, but from what I recall discovery rewards are set up independently of both
then why do scanner upgrades improve rewards π
Because Visor upgrades arent a thing
I have my mining upgrade modules on SC, should the laser be in the SC, or which
@rigid finch Depends on whether you want best mining speed, best yield, or best damage vs enemies
all? LOL I like using it against sentinels, no recoil, goes longer than weapons that have to reload sooner
guess I can just NomNom that whole array
For damage, base tech SC
upgrade its class so u have a sc slot for every tool π
@versed oyster 4 SC slots is max for MTs
who knows what his is? could be C
Definitely cant be C, else "modules on SC" would make no sense :p
@amber pawnif I didnt have any weapons in the mt, would it show the damage for the mining laser?
@rigid finch Yes
ok, cool
poopy royal, Euclid at a pillar
ok now im confused on how SC slots work. Iv upgraded my royal's class twice and havent gotten any new SC slots?
that looks like a mass relay
Have you added slots, tho?
All 30
You try saving and reloading?
what MT?
you best bet is to look for one with 4 slots instead of upgrading it
because S class doesnt ensure 4 SC slots
60 isn't it?
Look for decent multitool not 2 expensive near this solar system
how expensive is too expensive
5mil
good luck
One that better then starter multitool
Maybe 10-15 mill if get a whispering egg and sell tell
Selling whispering eggs? Larval cores sell for less than 100k
But there's like over 50
That get me money to get more money
Overall
(β―Β°β‘Β°)β―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
@feral marlin see
@slender iron Class?
If itβs 60 idk how ur suppose to afford that, the 30th slots already like 100mil
craft fusion or stasis devices
or you can just farm the upgrades from doing missions. think they are quite common rewards for pirate system missions.
euclid
whats the tier?
its C unfortunately. but I figure anyone can upgrade with nanites.
Ok but at that rate each slot will be like a billion
And I already have stasis farms
4 compacted sc slots?
Elucid, B, liked the color
#nms-multitools message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpA_04KtLyM
neither of these are mine
that is nice cab
the starter pistols aren't good at all
Is it possible to get alien rifle multitools
Pistols are best mining tool, regardless of how MT looks like its all about the cab
Am i able to sell multitool without buying another onr or to destroy them like you can do with spaceships
all that matters is cabinet seed for SC slots and desired type of MT
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkDoAactbcI&t=476s the only weapon that's good is the royal
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97onrXBDMIA&t=159s the only good weapons are the experimental and the pink/cyan weapon
Royals are same as experimental stat wise
no. i tested them. my best multi tool in mining and dmg are all alien multi tools as I got 2 duplicates of the Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi alien multi tool
this is simply the fact, there is a bit of random bonus but generally 4 adjacent SC slots will beat it every time
that pistol never out mined my alien multi tool
pistol have best stats for mining it is an undeniable fact, aliens are best in damage
in game the paper don't reflect it. maybe my set up is not working properly. I don't have the max x mods in mining but I used the exact same set ups and the pistol(the square adjacent sc) didn't out mine the Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi (right t shape adjacent sc)
Same configuration with same SC layout and mods will outmine it everyday and any time
- same class
any pistol with same SC layout
until a pistol get the t shape sc, Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi will out mine
how it looks like and what name it have have exactly 0 difference
shape doesn't matter
shape do matters
source
this is my source
based on what
i tested these weapons
you are tripping I will stick with the facts
test it or not u can see base stats in any save editor
if it the correct 4 shape sc in a square or t shape, it's good. a straight line sc isn't gonna do much
and a l shape sc isn't as good as the t shape or square shape sc
the pistol square shape isn't doing much on the Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi t shape sc
w/e man I generally telling you that same config same SC pistol > alien in mining
until then. Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi is currently the best for dmg and mining
it is fundamental fact that pistols have bigger mining bonus and im not talking about shapes
or SC slots
in general this is fundamental fact
jesus w/e man
i don't know about the general base stats i was testing with mods. Also I believe experimental do more dmg than royal. i got the wrong royal but I got a experimental with the same sc conf. and was testing which is better. the experimental did better
they are the same, depends on cabinet seed it can be a bit bigger or less for both
if you do get the Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi and the pistol. you can also test your self and you should see the pistol may not do better.
to proof you anything I need to get a pistol from that same cabinet
it was from Hero latest video. I got the wrong royal(the wrong name). it was that and also the green-blue rocky experimental and the experimental did more
objectivley, royals are bad. they dont spawn at s class(meaning that if upgraded to s class, they will have lower stats than a natural s class) and dont have a good stat bonus. shape of a MT does not by any way affect its stats, it is merley a cosmetic. just like how ship wings dont affect its manuvrabillity.
pretty sure every single weapon comes with slightly diffrent base stats wich will affect results
both the Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi and the pistol were s class. The pistol didn't reach above 130 mining dmg(same exact x mods on the alien) and the alien was doing 190 mining dmg
you wont proof this guy anything
he doesn't get basic idea how tools are generated
im just confused cuz this guy's toppling everything I thought I knew about MT's lmaooo
so if the pistol came from the same cabinet it will out do the alien mt in mining dmg?
...what?
with same mining mods prolly
most likely
what was the last mt update?
at best will be the same
i learn also having the same x mod don't increase dmg. it do need key components like fire rate but with different stats. I thought duplicating the same powerful x mod(if they got more than 3 stats) would do it until I was testing on how to faster on my rockets
that is a random number assigned at generation of the tool irc
depending on the seed, meaning if a diff person goes to pick up the tool, stats should be identical, correct?
Im not sure if it in cabinet or tool itself. but yeah
so the name matters the most instead of the sc cont?
name is not seed
what is the seed?
It should be in the same cabinet
then yes
what matters the most for your testing is the starting stats. so if you get two MT's of the same class, alien/pistol, with the same sc loadout from the same cabinet, you should have a fair experiment. also, for simplicity, taking out the x class tech modules would help
that is impossible to get a pistol or experimental out of the Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi cabinet
initial min and max values for pistol and alien dont overlap so at best 20%+ for alien and at worst +20% for pistal in mining bonus
oh
so same cabinet with SC layout pistol will out perform alien
exactly
meaning we will be proven correct
also it seems that initial bonus values tight to tool itself and not the cabinet
but. how is that the starting stats matter at all?
ah
so different cabinets will produce same tool the only difference will be slots layout
its your bonus this is the only thing that sets tools apart
typical internet argument moment
that his alien tool outperforms pistols and pistols are worthless while pistols are the best MT for mining π
so what I tried to do was present a experiment that would provide a certain outcome to whether alien is better than pistols for mining. proving either their point or ours.
ours, according to all known laws of NMS
yeah reality is low key straight forward with tools it doesn't really matter how the tool looks like
not just any alien tool. Specifically the right t shape Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi alien mt
its all about type and slot layout
back to basics same layout pistol > same layout alien in mining anytime and day
right or left doesn't matter the only thing there is probably the calculation for adjacent slots
u got 3 adjacent slots to 1
im not familiar with calculation formula but the rotation of the shape shouldn't matter
until i get access to a right t shape pistol or a square sc alien tool. i believe the Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi is the best mt for mining and combat
use NomNom editor make one
Unfortunately on xbox
can you show a picture of this square right t shape thing
alright give me the cords for this tool
a right and horizontal t letter?
oh yeah I know this
i will do the tests for you
it's this one
go to the space station or find a teleport on the planet. the exact teleport has the Mandalorian word in its name and it will take you straight there
if we are talking about this one? its a t shape sc alien tool
it's a regular long alien mt
there are only 2 weapons that spawn there. if you don't see the alien mt go to the space station and a reload a save
don't report the Mandalorian word base. it's probably the only easiest way you can get there. trolls are on there like there's no tomorrow
it does reset its spawns. you can know if you have to recharge your portals. for me i don't know if a sentinel pillar can reset
@wary horizon Here is base stats of it as u can see mining is not even close to 20
any S class pistol will have mining starting at 20
up to 35
with all the mods attach. it won't out mine Silhouette of lachudozh-Vi in game time
@wary horizonI havent read everything here, but I saw one thing that stood out. YOu can't dupe an upgrade mod and expect the dupe to have the same value as the original. Rolling Seeds don't work like that.
no no, he just claims that his alien tool is better at mining than any pistol
I saw that. And that he based stats on the upgrades, that he duped
i did it both way. I did not see any difference rolling for the same x mod and duping the same x mod. they both will have the same effect
@wary horizonall that matters is did you compare apples to apples, did the upgrade modules have the EXACT same value between each tool that you compared?
if this was true I will be rolling for the same x mod. Yes all of them had the same values in mt, exo suit rocket, and star ship. I did asked players on YouTube how they got their x mods and we both had the same values as the dupe ones
All this talk is meaningless its in game code no alien tool will exceed 20 mining bonus, its all about type and SC layout
wait oops
best mining tool will always be pistol type
i believe i mis read. same exact values for each mt?
best mining tool type
x class mods can roll between the lowest values of any class, to above an S class..... so if you put high value x class on a mediocre mining tool, and low value X class on the best, then the medocre tool may seem better
i know about this
so all variables have to be removed
same 20 stat in mod and if I put this in a super charged it will either have 49 or 50 fire rate it's seriously annoying I was rolling hard
those charts don't lie.... my guess is your test is not valid
it's the hidden stats in the mods. it sometimes can increase from 1 or 2 or stay the same. it's not the same for every individual stat
its w/e S class pistol from that same cabinet with exact same mods will out perform alien tool period
in mining*
Unfortunately this doesn't exist in this game unless we mod. i think they should allow players to gift mts. the xbox and ps players are left hanging, we also we like to experience the best of the best
there is probably a S class pistol in some planet's pool in that system, you just have to switch to it
but i already pulled out that alien tool so I can't use it again
on PC we can gift MTs thru a file. I can message another player a MT or Ship
I mean if it lasers everything good enough for me Iβm not picky on exacts
for xbox?
it does reset at sometime
doesn't have anything todo with portal
that was the time it reset. on my perma death I been trying to get it reset and wehn I noticed the portals needed to be recharge. I was like "wait maybe this"
yeah its probably everything in system or planet doesn't answer question tho
mb 24h
it wasn't just that one save it were all of my saves(the ones I play)
also. ty for having dialogues with me and ty for new info about mt
my multitool been grinding to build it up
How much nanite does it need to get a C-class multitool to S-Class ?
85k nanites
Ok thx
Did you find this?
Or did you upgrade this?
This is with only bolt caster and less super slots with crappy 1% damage upgrades that don't even have 4 stat increases per augment
Found it
I just added and repaired the tech
Glyphs? Galaxy? I want to "find" it too
bros got 19k damage potential with just a boltcaster :(
Available as
class here... But can be found as
class in one of the ancient ruins. I had it as
class earlier i lost it due to save edit.
Supercharged slots are as follows
(below is old image to prove m not lying)
And only 3 super slots that are not close at all
You mean from a sentinel pillar
What?
You found this as A class and upgrades to S ... Am i correct?
The S class version of the tool you sent here is from a sentinel pillar. That's why all the stuff is broken
I need glyphs and galaxy as well as coordinates for this tool
Its from monolith...or alien structures. π€
What? How?
What you mean how?
I mean how.
You get guns from alien structures?
Yeah sometimes they do give guns... Atleast gave me
How many different variants are there ?
4, pistol, rifle, alien, royal
I mean how many variants of those. Thereβs so many different designs and colors
That I dunno itβs a decent selection of colors, alien for sure has a lot of variations w the crystal colors
Seen many two tone rifles
@slow ledge Did some quick math, for Alien MTs, there are roughly one quarter trillion variations possible due to the number of model parts and colour selections.
gonna take a min for them to find each one to decide what one to keep
The funny thing is, basic Rifles are like Shuttles - altogether mediocre in performance, but the procgen variety is an order of magnitude higher than any other tech lol. There are so many Rifle variations, the rarest parts combination won't have spawn locations for more than 1% of the colour combinations in the entire universe.
The perfect alien search is on
I've gone thru phases. All my established Saves are all with only various Experimentals, various colors.
this week, the purple one is my favorite. Unitl it isn't anymore.
just found this A class cabinet in the space station, when its upgraded to S it gives all 4 sc slots in a row. Euclid.
I found one of those it looks like it has a mag and it is white though
Awesome π. Iβve been MT hunting for hours. Visit planet save reload visit space station , rinse repeat. Only found a few A class. Not too bad but nothing amazing looking
@slow ledge The way MT seeding is set up, (based on observation of ~100 systems where I scouted every single MT model, a tiny sampling, so may be erroneous), the system/planet seeds seem to cascade rare features. So, if there's an Alien MT in at least 1 pool insystem, there's usually an Experimental or 2 to find, a pretty good chance for a starter Pistol, very probably 1-3 Pistols/Rifles with crystal accessory/ies, and all but guaranteedly 2-4 P/Rs with horn accessories.
So I usually judge whether I care to scout a whole system based on the SS cabinet - if it has an Alien or Experimental, I scout 100% without a 2nd thought. If it's a Starter Pistol/basic MT with Crystal, at minimum I'll find an A Class cabinet and do reloads to see what all can spawn as S Class insystem, and if it's a basic MT with Horns, I usually do the A Class cabinet, but 30-40% of the time I just warp to next system
I got a pistol with horns, but the colors arenβt great. Iβd really like a nice experimental
Well if you are looking for an experimental I found a couple.
how do i find that sentinel multitool looking thing
If you mean a Sentinel Pillar, you can get the location by defeating 5th level of Sentinels on planet
You will get a marker on your HUD
Note that not all pillars spawn the fancy royal Mutlitools
ah gotcha, okay how do i find a aggressive sentinel planet?
been warping alot and havent found one
if there are any sentinels on the planet you can always just shoot them
cant you just buy pillar charts from the space station?
Black market drops can have them I think
Yup and some Buried Caches on planets
Or can drop from Salvaged Glass from Sentinels
Still defeating Sentinels is the surefire way to get the marker on your HUD
royal multitool anyone
im confused on the first 2 i cant find the tool
i followed the instructions
I'll be heading there today.. those are awesome lookin
As of the last update I personally checked all the locations and confirmed they still work.
If you go to the glyph coordinates, and follow the instructions you should be able to find the tools listed easily
When I try, I'll keep you posted if I got it or not
were you maybe in multiplayer?
im not sure how MT spawning works but ik it gets borked in multiplayer somehow
i think its bc multiplayer saves whether someone already bought the tool or not, while singleplayer only saves whether the MT is there or not based on if you bought it
ummm do i need to get this from a sentinal tower thing?
cause i went for the orange 1 on the left...and all that is here is a sent tower and someones base
What kind of building are they in?
Yeah. Royals are in Sentinel Towers.
Man, I just got it off of Google.
ahh ty was getting groceries anyway atm lol
all sentinel towers have an option that says "extract weapons technology" and if you click that you get the option to claim a damaged MT. so you have to repair it, same as a crashed ship.
ahhh was super easy tyvm much appreciated
although it is c class...it is the right weapon , i just assumed it would be s class
I don't think anyone has ever found a royal mt in S class, a very few are A and some B, the bulk are C class
Are you at least going to upgrade that a little? π
prob later ngl
damage potential 62K and you want him to upgrade it?
Thie be in Eucliid.
half tongue-in-cheek, other half, if you understand module placement even a little, then it would be clear that the modules were thrown on haphazardly, and a MT with ALL slots supercharged through an editor, the stats should be 4 times that
so its not achievable through gameplay ? 
not any way that I know of
i found this weird multitool, anyone see one before?
