nms-multitools

[golden lynx]

Only B class, but if anyone is looking. Must reload from the planet in the image. 3 super-charged slots on the left and right of the scanner (in a line with one space between them). (I upgraded it to an A class).

[amber pawn]

@shy scroll Indeed I have 🙂

[shy scroll]

🤯

[rigid finch]

I got excited about the color in the top picture. Tourquoise would be really cool. The bottom picture looks more of a green.

[golden lynx]

I think the bottom picture is more accurate, sort of a light sea foam green

[shy scroll]

Got the coordinates of the building it spawns in?

[spice shuttle]

for?

if its the one gix cc is talking about, space station

for the purple alien s class, +7.97, -107.14

for the other alien s class, space station

for that pistol, unsure

[shy scroll]

Meant the shock reflector multitool

Said which planet, but not the coords

[blissful sedge]

@ember spire do you have the glyphs for this S class royal?

[shy scroll]

Oh wow another color

More common then I thought

I like the blue

[fallen shore]

I hunted down the S class location of this as well

And it has 3 touching power slots

[shy scroll]

In the station there?

[fallen shore]

Euclid galaxy. reload on Awbrixh. I located the S class cabinet at -12.92 -60.81

[shy scroll]

Ty might try to replace the 1 I got

[fallen shore]

its super powerful with the scatter canon. I can clear waves of sents at the sent towers in a matter on a few mins then reset to do it again. its a great weapon for nanite farming

[shy scroll]

The 1 I got is pretty weak

[fallen shore]

This one i found Has 3 touching power slots and is a S class. super nice multi tool! I would go add it to your collection haha

[shy scroll]

Yeah, I'll probably go for it soon lol

[shy scroll]

Kinda want that munam 53/t7 planet multitool

So I reload,on specific planet, then go to station?

[pale vapor]

no if im understanding right you have to reload on munam 53/t7 then go to the coordinates on this planet

-54.79 -7.75 on gurpa gu

[graceful flame]

Euclid

[shy scroll]

OK POPING ON NMS TO TRY

sry caps

kiddo was on pc

[shy scroll]

something went screwie lol i got reloading on meya lol

[blissful sedge]

So this was the one you want right? Cause that's the one supposed to be on that planet. If you were after the experimental then that's from the other planet

[shy scroll]

I did something wrong, I was going to get it next

Wanted to get the stasis puncher

I am not good with directions 😕

[blissful sedge]

So the pictures I sent require you to be on the planet "Gurpa Gu". At the coordinates "-54.79, -7.75"
That is where you will find the tool After you reload from Meya 53/T7

If you still have issues let me know and I will check it again to be sure it's still available there.

Please also note that there are 2 separate buildings near eachother at these coordinates that have 2 totally different sets of tools in them. So be sure that you are at the correct planetary coordinates

[ember spire]

Wdym?

[blissful sedge]

I mean the glyphs. Like the in game coordinates for how to get there so other people can also find it too.

See in this picture on the bottom left the weird symbols. That's the glyphs for how to get to this volcano

[ember spire]

Ill try and find out as soon as i get on

These might not be right though because i got this awile ago and i have bad memory

[blissful sedge]

Well I hope they are right cause I would LOVE to get this multitool

[ember spire]

Ill try my best

I just got some work to do

So im hoping this is the right one Best i can do for you is tell you that you're gonna need to find the sentinel pillar on this planet if its not the right one then im sorry ill screenshot the glyphs in a minute

[blissful sedge]

Euclid galaxy?

[ember spire]

Yes

Im sorry if it isnt right

[blissful sedge]

I will begin searching for the S class royal here. I'll let you know what I find. If I find.

[ember spire]

Ok

Well i gotta deal with the sentinels on my settlement good luck

[blissful sedge]

Thanks. You too

[ember spire]

Hows it coming?

[blissful sedge]

I am unable to look at this moment. But as soon as I can I will.

[ember spire]

Ok

Im off for the night tho

[fair grove]

Cool

[dry lichen]

Perfect place, #explorers-archive would work as well. However - we still need the galaxy info included, portal addresses only work if you are in the same galaxy 😄

[lilac pagoda]

Oh, I’m sorry! Let me go fetch that info

It’s definitely Euclid, but I need to check which system it was

[dry lichen]

System isn't important, as long as the galaxy is right

For this one, the planet name and on foot coordinates would be what we need - as there will be many pillars in the system

You can get the coords by looking in your visor

[lilac pagoda]

Oh no, I’ve already left, I’ll have to go back and see if the marker is still active

Is there a way to set a marker for a waypoint I’ve discovered?

[dry lichen]

You can set a marker that is temporary with your visor, you can also build a save beacon which has an icon visible from anywhere in the system. Finally you could place a base computer down for easy teleporting to the desired location.

[lilac pagoda]

Ah, bummer, I was hoping I can set a navigation on to a waypoint I’ve discovered on the planet, that way I could have easily gone back to the sentinel pillar and get the coordinates

Sorry, I had no clue I should provide specific nav data :( feel free to delete the message above

[dry lichen]

No worries, you know now 😄

Unless a multitool is in the Space Station they are going to need planetary coordinates as well - For sharing anyways

[lilac pagoda]

Gotcha, will keep that in mind. I was hoping someone might find it suiting for their outfit and grab it

[blissful sedge]

If you send the location information for the nav point you found we can find it again if you have the glyphs and galaxy for how to get to the system

Just send a picture of the name of the nav point and we can find it.

With glyphs and galaxy info

[rigid finch]

how?

[blissful sedge]

On the planet you can find navigation points. When you use maps or scanners those appear as "unknown buildings" and you can fly to them all

[rigid finch]

how many can there be?

[blissful sedge]

No clue. On some planets I have found like 20.
But it's not as bas as it sounds. Knowing the planet is good enough. But yes planetary coordinates are ideal

[rigid finch]

I do on-foot-only permadrath games, and I come across prbably 10x as many waypoint towers as minor settlements. Maybe 20x, just guessing. And that is on foot

seems like about every 1000u in any direction

[blissful sedge]

Yep. There are a ton of them. But if we have the name of the one he found it would be a lot easier to find it than to find the planet and galaxy.

[olive eagle]

Anyone have the location to an S class Alien with good supercharge layout?

[shy scroll]

If you upgrade your multitool to s, does it add supercharged spots?

[shy scroll]

Noice

[golden lynx]

Euclid

[lilac pagoda]

Euclid :)

[cobalt moat]

My dad just found this

[blissful sedge]

Glyphs and galaxy so we can also locate it.

[sinful owl]

Euclid, refresh on moon “ecran omega” then go to the space station.

[golden lynx]

And, an orange, similar looking Experimental (or another). Reload on Zahould(?) for the first, Faust for the second, or a nice rifle from the space station. Euclid.

[golden lynx]

Glyphs for the above MTs. Euclid.

[slow ledge]

This is so cool 😎 I haven’t seen one with teeth like that

[round flax]

Quick question, can any s-class multitool have max slots?

[gleaming stream]

You should be able to upgrade any S-class multitool to have 60 tech slots

Different types spawn with different amounts of initial slots

[round flax]

ok

[random prawn]

I think the biggest you can get in 30 for an S class

[drowsy verge]

Noice....shoot the guy.... END OF MATTER

[willow urchin]

A-class Royal Multitool
Euclid // Glyphs (in provided picture) // Coordinate (in provided picture).

[pulsar charm]

Look what I found

Would be great if someone upload it into nms coordinate exchange

[pulsar charm]

The hell is this?

I mean

Damage

[rigid finch]

Alien tool, has damage bonus, the pulsespitter is in supercharged

[blissful sedge]

Glyphs?

Galaxy?

[pulsar charm]

Remind me in about 1h

[blissful sedge]

Ima be at work then

[pulsar charm]

You still here?

[blissful sedge]

No. But glyphs and galaxy?

[pulsar charm]

Well, I lost it

[blissful sedge]

[oak vessel]

I reloaded save before checking for MT Sorry Euclid

[eager anchor]

Elucid I presume?

I unironically want this. lol.

[oak vessel]

sorry yes

[foggy vault]

can anyone hitchhike me a ride here?? im obsessed with this multitool but i havent got every glyph yet

[minor sentinel]

I can head there then you can join me

[foggy vault]

sounds awesome, my id is gej9-n8gt-qz864

How to find S weapon easy

[rigid finch]

lol

[empty garnet]

Idk how i was playing nms 6 month ago but Just for shorts Time so i have no Clue

[wintry atlas]

You could go to nms coordinate exchange and get the glyphs for one

[foggy vault]

decent find in hilbert galaxy

[golden lynx]

Does anyone know the distribution of multi-tools in a system? Does EVERY system have at least one Alien or Experimental or are they totally random?

[amber pawn]

@golden lynx random

[golden lynx]

Really? Like totally random? Economy tier, race, uncharted, etc., nothing makes a difference? Bummer.

[amber pawn]

@golden lynx Correct

[golden lynx]

Huh. Good to know. Thanks.

[olive eagle]

Anyone know the location to an S class experimental or royal tool?

[golden timber]

If you scroll up a bit plenty posted, but there’s no naturally spawning s class royal

I haven’t ever seen anyone post an A class either actually only B or C

[amber pawn]

@golden timber #nms-multitools message

[golden timber]

Hot damn and not that long ago

Looks decent too

[amber pawn]

Actually a Royal spawned at a given class has pretty much identical stats to any other Royal spawned at the same class. They can only really differentiate on upgrade to S, where ~2/3 will have low tier damage (15-19.99%) and the remainder will be high tier (20-24.99%).

[golden timber]

Interesting so a C has potential to put max an A after upgrade sometimes

Out max*

[amber pawn]

Yep, seed-dependent, at some point I'll get around to locating 10 A Class spawns that upgrade to max dmg, been busy with other things for months lol.

[peak rivet]

What’s the best type of multi tool, as in experimental, alien etc

[blissful sedge]

Depends on what you are doing with it.

Royal and experimental are identical stat wise
Pistol is the best for mining a lot.
And alien is the best for damage.

[pale vapor]

fun fact. having a good pistol in your hands while harvesting crops will increase your yield per plant significantly. especially if you have the optical drill mining mod in a supercharged slot.

[gleaming stream]

I think they patched that mechanic, is that right @compact pecan ?

[pale vapor]

seems you are correct. thats a shame.

seems like there is no variation in plant yield at all anymore

exactly the same amount from every plant

[golden timber]

Saw on pinterest, thought was worth sharing looked cool

[random prawn]

I feel Royals and Experimentals are great all around tho. Sure they dont get the same peak as alien or pistol for damage or mining, but modules can fix that and it'll save you switching MT

[gleaming stream]

Please note that UI indicates an old as fuck game version

I wouldn't be surprised if this MT did not spawn in current version of the game

[amber pawn]

@gleaming stream Every MT since the introduction of Alien/Experimentals still spawns, just not necessarily in the same cabinet locations.

[gleaming stream]

So the MT is in pool, but the cabinets may have been scrambled?

[amber pawn]

Yep

There have been 3 or 4 cabinet rerolls across the years

[gleaming stream]

Big oof

[golden timber]

I will check it out here in a bit and let y’all know

@gleaming stream @amber pawn reloaded at station and checked cabinet

A class tho not S

[indigo kestrel]

messy ass mods o.o but my multi tool looks like it came from dead space

[blissful sedge]

Galaxy?

[blissful sedge]

Some PC players still use the old UI even to this day. So hard to say based only on that.

[golden timber]

Euclid my bad

[gleaming stream]

Please elaborate

[blissful sedge]

I have seen YT vids posted from a week ago that use ancient looking UI

Either its a setting or a mod

[golden timber]

Didn’t grab cords for this one but I got it saved for a pet, that’s a plasma tube in it right? I haven’t seen any with that yet

Or plasma in that placement should say

[blissful sedge]

Do you mean the glowing thing or the little front thing?

[golden timber]

Above trigger the green mini tube

[blissful sedge]

👍

Not sure if I have seen this or not. Lemme look at some tools I have found.

[golden timber]

Caught my eye, definitely looks like plasma

[blissful sedge]

Yep I seem to have found at least 1 of those.

👍

[golden timber]

Nice il prob pick it up then

I’m starting to notice these ones with a rare part on it look rusted I guess that’s a good indicator

[tawny pelican]

Any idea on how to get the geo-survey/mineral deposit module? Wouldn't mind surveying for mine-able minerals before I set up my Empire of Ecological Ruin 😋

(Because I need to turn a profit, and the Korvax nor Vy'keen are interested in normal products right now (or they're buying for comparatively low amounts)

[amber pawn]

@tawny pelican Buy blueprint at the Anomaly

[tawny pelican]

Cheers!

[tawny pelican]

To quote a racial slogan from EVE Online: "In Rust We Trust" 🤣

[golden timber]

Lol true, came across a few others of those too hopefully will find a black

[amber pawn]

@golden timber Black doesnt exist on rifles/pistols

[golden timber]

F

[random prawn]

Essentaim, is a class S

[amber pawn]

@random prawn Glyphs would be useful

[random prawn]

ugh, they were supposed to be there

[blissful sedge]

Glyphs?

Oh I see. Yeah. Each system has their own way to capture glyphs. On switch its the capture button. On PC it's to take a screen shot.
The in game photo mode doesn't include glyphs when taking a picture

[random prawn]

But it shows them

so I thought they would've been included

[blissful sedge]

Yes. It shows them to you, but sadly it doesn't capture them with the in game photo mode.

It also happened to me

[random prawn]

I may still be able to get them

[blissful sedge]

Good luck

[random prawn]

@blissful sedge @amber pawn Glyphs

(Esseintaim)

[blissful sedge]

Nice

Thank you

[amber pawn]

@random prawn Did you bother to check the planet pools to see if any spawn an Alien or Experimental from that cabinet?

[random prawn]

I don't even know how to do it

but that's the space station cabinet

[amber pawn]

@random prawn Save and reload on planet 1, then check the SS cabinet for a different S Class MT, repeat for each planet.

[random prawn]

Will do

[amber pawn]

In rare circumstances there's a class split, and you wont find all S Class, but generally an S Class cabinet is worth 1 + total # of planets different S Class models, max of 7.

[random prawn]

This is what spawn from planet Nozak 46/P7

[rigid finch]

on PC it is F12

[eager anchor]

PC Steam, if you play from a different place, it will be different.

[drowsy verge]

@amber pawn

If i take a experimental pistol it will have have both benefits of being experimental and pistol

Or only one is applicable

[amber pawn]

Only one

In that case, pistol/rifle denotes the size of the MT, which influences slots available at purchase

[drowsy verge]

I see

I was thinking of getting those fat red ones

This one

This is a pistol yes?🤔

[golden timber]

Technically experimental pistol

That’s nice I picked up that dragon looking one like that in rifle with the plasma tubes

[amber pawn]

Yeah it gets bonuses of an experimental, starting slots of a pistol.

[drowsy verge]

Ah

Then it can become an all rounder weapon yes?

If i max it's slots.

[amber pawn]

Tis what experimentals are best for.

[drowsy verge]

Or should I use this one as umm... My fighter weapon...super slots are nice

[golden timber]

I’d focus on mining beam will prob insta kill sentinel

[drowsy verge]

Only one upgrade to s class and it will be super ballistic

[drowsy verge]

You mean like this

😂

Yes my mining beam itself is weapon on this gun

*stupid autocorrect

[golden timber]

Lol that’s the 8k damage one right

I got that red one at 13k rn for bolt caster, need to lower the recoil tho

[drowsy verge]

My other red one is at 20k damage

[golden timber]

Damn lol

[drowsy verge]

Thats without best class and roll

Just some REARRANGEMENT

Thanks to useful advice of @amber pawn

[golden timber]

I’m on hunt for experimental with 2-3 super slots im finding ones that are in corners

[amber pawn]

@golden timber Not instantly kill, there's a nerf on mining beam vs. armoured drones.

[drowsy verge]

I will prolly rearrange it even further to make my mining beam ultra fast

[drowsy verge]

What are armoured drones?

[golden timber]

That sucks, at least got the scatter blaster with x mods

Close enough one shot

[amber pawn]

@drowsy verge Most Sentinels are considered armoured

[drowsy verge]

They are?...my mining beam ... Drill through them in like 5 sec...

🤣

[amber pawn]

The mining beam does something like a third of its normal damage

[drowsy verge]

Well i got three super slots...so 3x damage

[golden timber]

Prob better than caster, more accurate

[drowsy verge]

M gonna change it to HYPER MINER

It might become my handy railgun 🤣

[amber pawn]

Not quite, but yeah, can still set it up to be pretty powerful - definitely not better than a 50k boltcaster with combat scope

[drowsy verge]

That i agree

[amber pawn]

I've got mine up to 46k, but its only an alien upgraded to S with perfect SC slots

So it falls short by the last 4.5k.

[drowsy verge]

But its already sooo pow...i get like 120 times 4 in like 1 sec dMage

[golden timber]

Sean pls allow us to buy modification for super slot spots

That be dope to be able to move them

[amber pawn]

Can be save edited pretty easily

[golden timber]

Console pleb

[drowsy verge]

I think it's good enough

[golden timber]

Gifting multi tool tho, that be fun giving a console a beefed up one

[drowsy verge]

Problem is... Too much power but no place to use it

[golden timber]

Def need something harder

[drowsy verge]

Maybe we should move to #no-mans-sky

[olive eagle]

Over all what weapon is the best for dps

[ruby torrent]

rifle type

[amber pawn]

@ruby torrent @olive eagle No, Alien type

[mint wing]

Multitool type -alien. Weapon type- scater blaster or pulse spiter

[ruby torrent]

huh

well then i stand corrected

[blissful sedge]

Galaxy?

[whole cape]

I found a Royal multi tool if anyone is interested.

[golden timber]

Nice find, if you want to share location need to use screenshot mode for glyphs and cords for pillar

[whole cape]

Oh okay. Yeah I see the glyphs. But I’m looking for the coordinates. Sorry still kind of new to this game.

[golden timber]

Cords you’ll use ur Analysis visor used for scanning things it’ll tell you exact longitude and latitude

[whole cape]

Ahhh okay

[golden timber]

Looks like this in top corner

[whole cape]

There we go! Thanks for the help buddy!

[golden timber]

No problem

[coarse crane]

I checked the pins but didn't see anything immediately, is there a general guide for if you're actively looking for s-class multitools? And also for like, specific stuff like alien and exotic? (I have an s-class rifle and it seems like its my best thing compared to other stuff I have, but based on wiki stuff it seems like rifles are generally Bad?)

also are the actual rules of how the positioning of different mods in the tech inventory affect eachother or just the infographic? I'm having trouble understanding WHY certain spots are better or worse, and I feel like I'd have to do less guessing to get optimal positioning if I understood

[golden timber]

@coarse crane for the most part it’s grabbing glyphs off already found ones, besides that it’s purely random finds you can get lucky on and that gun will always stay locked to that system once someone discovers it, generally aliens are best for damage but experimentals and royals are good for range and damage making them usually the better all around, pistols are better for mining and rifles are same with experimentals but not as great stats, super slots will give you the most potential of what’s equipped giving it a boost like mining beam or bolt caster etc, and putting like minded mods together will Synergize them further increasing stats, hope that helps a bit

Check stations/ and ground cabinets in the system to throughly go through the spawns, there’s prob better explanations on youtube

[coarse crane]

If anyone knows of a specific guide about it I'd love a link, and I got the basics of the positioning and slots stuff, but when deciding exact formation, I don't quite understand why some spots in the shape are better than others

[honest valley]

I have basic multitool and suddenly its better than any other i found😂

[blissful sedge]

Very simple.
Step 1 land on space station.
Check the multitool.
(Take pictures of it and glyphs if it's good.)

Step 2.
Fly to a planet in that system.
Land on it. Save the game.
Reload.
Fly back to the station and check again.
Take another picture if it's cool.

Step 3. Repeat step 2 for all the planets.

Moons an planets both

If you don't find an S class or Alien or Experimental in that system, Fly to the next system and repeat

[blissful sedge]

Yes. But in which of the 255 galaxies did you find this tool. Because if you are in wrong galaxy you can't go there with the glyphs

Glyphs you did provide, but what galaxy is it in

Just edit your original message to also include the galaxy. 👍 whenever you can

[golden lynx]

I've asked before, but is there a set distribution of multi-tools per system? Do tier 3 systems have better chance at S class and/or Royal or alien or experimental? Does every system have 1 alien MT? Or, is it 100% random (which I would find hard to believe)?

[blissful sedge]

From what I understand it's 100% random

And not only is it random but at least 2 or 3 times all the tool locations were scrambled around to different places.

So tools we had previously known the locations of, changed to new tools

But none of the tools have been removed, they simply are in a different place now than before.

So just check from system to system. You will find some good tools.
Personally I check all the tools even if it's C class. Never know when you will find the coolest tool in existence.....

I mean....since it's 99% about the looks anyway.

And the super slots

[amber pawn]

@golden lynx Cabinet distribution is affected by economy, so S Class occurs more often in T3 than T2, and not at all in T1. But type distribution is pretty random.

[blissful sedge]

What about in cases where there is a prime planet with a split class in a T1 is it still totally impossible for S class?

[amber pawn]

@blissful sedge Yes

[golden lynx]

Thanks. Is there some logic in distribution of alien, royal, and experimental? Like for ships EACH system has exactly ONE exotic. If I find an S-class cabinet, can I be certain there is a royal/alien/experimental that will eventually pop up in it?

[amber pawn]

@golden lynx The answer isn't going to change if you ask enough times, no.

[golden lynx]

Just looking for confirmation, I guess. It seems odd to me how pre-determined many things are in the game (one exotic per system, one capital freighter every 3 hrs + 5 warps), and then multi-tool types (alien,...) are just totally random. I'll stop asking now.

[amber pawn]

Fair enough, I just know I've answered that question for you 3 times now, and I can't name another player who has studied MT spawn mechanics to anywhere near the same degree as myself, lol.

[golden lynx]

OK, new question, what are alien MTs called alien? Alien to Gek, Korvax, and Vy'keen? Like, there are some other alien races out there?

[amber pawn]

Technically, the game calls them Exotic, alien is a community term for them.

[pale vapor]

it would have made so much sense to have aliens more common in Vykeen systems. experimental in Korvax and pistols in Gek but as far as i understand its completely random, from my experience aliens are the rarest tho. experimentals are quite rare and pistols and rifles are super common.

[golden lynx]

Agreed. KNOWING that there is one and only one exotic ship per system is a big help in ship hunting. Not having a clue if a system even has an alien (or experimental or royal) just makes MT hunting feel almost useless. Ah well, I guess NMS is not the perfect game after all. 🙂

[pale vapor]

yeah i don't bother doing minor settlements at all anymore. its just too time consuming and having to reload all the time kills the immersion. i just check the SS cab and sometimes check in on my weapons specialist dude to see if hes got any goodies for me.

[amber pawn]

The only thing I've observed that helps with finding Alien MTs is that rare models tend to cluster, so I check the SS cabinet and only bother searching the system if it spawns something with a crystal attachment, a starter pistol, an experimental, or an alien.

[clever hound]

Can you teade multitools?

[amber pawn]

No

[clever hound]

ok

[pastel leaf]

then some poor soul will hunt it down and put a base/comms station so lazier people can find it easily

[golden timber]

Is fun tho finding a good one to share

[chilly jewel]

yo can i see ur stats

[drowsy verge]

I use this primarily for mining

[chilly jewel]

ah k makes sense, cause i running a shatter blaster whatever its called the shotgun on an A class rifle i think and im a bit annoyed that 13k pot dmg tends to be underwhelming against some enemies

[drowsy verge]

13 k is good ... MY other one is for fighting ... At 20k damage

This is an old image but i suppose you get the gist

Alien multitool can go upto ~45k damage with right super slots

[chilly jewel]

u got mad lucky with supercharge slots, mine are far apart so i cant stack some insane power potential

[chilly jewel]

yeah

how do u have so many blaster mods? isnt it max 4?

besides the other basic ones

[drowsy verge]

Not quite there yet though...my mods are not the best ... Once i get max ones it will reach upto 25k damage

[drowsy verge]

One is tech

[chilly jewel]

oh yeah good point

[drowsy verge]

As for boltcaster...3 are sentinal mods...3 are s mods...and 2 are tech

[chilly jewel]

how do you tell if mods are max or not? bc i just seem to go off position and basic stats but i never can tell whats the upper limit of s and x class mods

[chilly jewel]

ah k makes sense now

[drowsy verge]

Use catalog...it has all values with max potential numbers

I mostly use boltcaster coz it's fast...and lethal

Takes a hand flick to reload

[chilly jewel]

always preferred raw dmg output and since the shatter blaster range is good i dont gotta worry about that, just was curious of what was the highest capable one, i think i need to stop using my one tool as a universal one

[drowsy verge]

You can do that...but it won't excel at everything

And you would need frick ton of slots

[chilly jewel]

yeah, especially since i got mad unlucky with my class and just used nanites to rank up

[chilly jewel]

yeah i spent a lot of time grinding on this one, basically been using it for my last 100h on my save

[drowsy verge]

If you want one mt for all .. i suggest going for experimental or royal mt

They are good for fighting mining and good scan range

[chilly jewel]

i got c class royal, aint got lucky enough with like the 20 i found

[drowsy verge]

Thats fine....

[chilly jewel]

yeah my scan is terrible, i got no reason for it since the main attractions of it arent important to me

[drowsy verge]

Once you upgrade the class the base stats will improve

[amber pawn]

Lol, scan stat is pretty useless regardless

Who really cares about scan pulse range?

[drowsy verge]

After around 800u nothing is visible anyways

[chilly jewel]

yeah i noticed that

[drowsy verge]

Includimg in visor

[amber pawn]

@drowsy verge Visor is completely unaffected by scan stat

[chilly jewel]

yeah i only keep it on for when i need it, but i just need to decimate stupid sentinels messing with my people or monstrosities

[drowsy verge]

It don't know know... But i can rarely see anything beyond 800-1000 u

In the visor

Even though it says 1200u in range...

Anyways

[chilly jewel]

i just stacked mad scan bonuses over range, but it gets to be a hassle to move around to scan

[drowsy verge]

Royal are good mt...you can max them and use them however you wish

Depending on your purpose

[chilly jewel]

insane, i got like i think max 400 and i think thats pushing it, shit must be mad useful

[amber pawn]

Again, the scan stat has zero effect on the distance markers appear in Visor. There are specific max distances based on type of marker that can never be altered.

[drowsy verge]

Nah...i only superchaged the x mods coz...i get more money for scans...300k units or more for some scans

[chilly jewel]

i tihnk i top out at like 100k, make majority of my money from act indium farms and expeditions

[golden timber]

Best x class scanner has gotten me up to 600k per scan on larger creatures, most around 1-300k

With all 3 installed

Has anyone seen it?

[scenic cedar]

the experimental or alien

[drowsy verge]

Nvm i got it...infact i got more than... I thought

HE HE HE

Now the search begins... problem is ... I don't have glyphs on my normal save 😭

[amber pawn]

@drowsy verge Nexus Slingshot to taxi your Normal save wherever you wanna go using a different save

[drowsy verge]

Idk how 😑

[amber pawn]

@drowsy verge The Nexus Slingshot
Make a save onplanet first. Load up your main, and drop a base computer in the system you want to slingshot to. Summon the Anomaly, teleport to said base, save, and exit. Load the other save back up, use Return to Anomaly in quick menu, and when you fly out, you'll be in the target system.
The on-planet part is the key, because Return to Anomaly is only an option when you teleport to a planet, and it disappears as soon as you leave atmosphere.

[lone galleon]

Nice.

[drifting cargo]

They all have small unique bonuses, so any should suit for all-rounder

[blissful sedge]

Based on these bonuses I would say alien, experimental, or royal would make good all rounders.

Alien has the most damage, but it's other stats are still pretty good.
Royals and experimentals are identical stat wise. And though they have the highest range for scanning I heard it's bugged.
So up to you if you wanna trade mining speed for damage. Or damage for mining speed.

[pale vapor]

get a alien for pew pew and a pistol for mining

or just get whatever you think looks best and then max out the bonuses using a save editor.

[amber pawn]

Experimental/Royal for an all-in-one config, else Pistol for tools + Alien for weapons.

[pale vapor]

honestly its better to get 2 tools. just set them to number hotkeys so you can switch quickly. edit:( assuming you are using a keyboard)

if you only want 1 tool then any will be fine for all round general use

[coarse crane]

If I found a royal rank c, is the option to upgrade it's rank for nanites worth it, or should I just keep searching for an s rank?

[pale vapor]

royals spawn A class max

so to get to S you are still gona hev to spend 50k

[coarse crane]

So should I be looking for an S class experimental if I'm just being practical about wanting a good scanning one?

[pale vapor]

probably yes

depends if you have access to lots of nanites

[coarse crane]

Not a ton of them. I haven't been able to find any experimental or alien ones yet though

I think probably getting the royal to A class would be better than my a class pistol I'm scanning with. Somehow all I ever find are rifles

[pale vapor]

yeah its possible to find them but unless you are actively doing the "minor settlement reload dance" then they are very rare

or just look for glyphs that people post here or wherever, then you can get whatever you want

like @amber pawn said. if you see a tool in the space station that has either crystals or bones on it (rare parts) then its probably worthwhile checking other cabinets and reloading on other planets to change the "tool pool"

[amber pawn]

Bones is a longshot for Alien/Experimental, Crystal is pretty good chance of at least an Experimental somewhere insystem, but likely not spawnable as S Class. Any Experimental in SS cabinet and youre almost guaranteed at least 1 more Experimental or Alien, so high likelihood of at least 1 spawnable as S Class.

[pale vapor]

for example the system im in right now (calypso galaxy) has this tool in the space station.

so i checked the other 2 planets by reloading a save on them and then using "inhabited outpost" charts to find minor settlements

i found a white and red starter pistol model and an smg with some bones

but no aliens or experimentals

but i only checked around 10 minor settlements

[amber pawn]

Here's a good example of clustering.

I arrived at the Space Station to find the white Experimental pistol as A Class iirc, and netted a Starter pistol, Bone pistol, and Alien rifle in the natural A Class pools alone.

[pale vapor]

as for classes then all tools have a native spawn. all cabinets have the ability to "jump" one class, so if you find a C class then its impossible to find a A or S class as its too far away from the native spawn.

from my understanding sentinal pillars cant do this, thats why its impossible to find S class royals

a native B class could spawn C or A at a normal cabinet but only B at a pillar

native S class does not exist, its always an A class that has "jumped" to S

[amber pawn]

@pale vapor Class flexes are dependent on system economy, the only place a B can flex upwards to A is in T3 or Outlaw, and in T1 or Outlaw an A can double flex down to C Class. Also, in pools of only 2 models, it's possible to have only native C and B Class models, in which case the B Class will spawn as S Class, economy permitting.

[pale vapor]

in my above post with the blue crystal every tool i found was C class. only 2 planets in the system and on the 2nd planet i kept getting the same basic rifle over and over again. i just moved on because the only good model i saw was the pistol and it was only a C

i didnt know C's could jump to S

[amber pawn]

I didnt say that

A nat C can never spawn as S

[pale vapor]

oh okok sorry my bad

i misread that

nat b's can jump to S in t3 or outlaw?

[amber pawn]

NP, as for only finding C Class, there's a glitch that can force all cabinets to C until you completely close the game and restart. Natural B can jump to S in T2 or higher, if the pool only contains 2 models and neither is natural A.

[pale vapor]

so was i correct in thinking that pillars cant jump at all and only spawn at the tools native class?

[amber pawn]

@pale vapor Not quite, there will always be models that flex, because they have no choice. If 1 pool has 4 models, and another pool only 2, there have to be 1-2 cabinet states where the smaller pool's models flex.

[pale vapor]

have you ever seen a pillar with an S class tool?

[amber pawn]

Not possible

HG's original idea was you get a free MT from Pillars, with no S Class possibility as the balance.

They decided that wasn't enough to keep people interested in regular MTs, so now they come busted, too lol.

Sorry, Royals can never be S Class, I have seen S Class regular MTs from a Pillar

[pale vapor]

it all seems far too convoluted and complex. really in the games current state, supercharge slot layout is more important than any stat or stat bonus.

so really any S class with good layout is OK

an "all round" tool would have a SC slot spread whereas a more specialist tool would have a cluster of SC slots

i like tools and ships that have 2 + 2 super slots

[amber pawn]

It's good for MTs, for ships not so much

[strange leaf]

How can you tell if it is a neutral a

[pale vapor]

check lots of minor settlements and see what is more common. its pretty rare for a tool to jump up or down a tier.

[nimble jackal]

How long does it take for a multitool Cabinet to regen another tool?

I made the mistake of not being in single player and went to a popular alien S-class cabinet and of course it wasn't there. Any help?

[narrow python]

Perhaps switch off multiplayer - save, reload and try again.

[blissful sedge]

2 weeks irl time skipping doesn't work either.
At least as far as I know.

[nimble jackal]

Cool thank you. i should be coming up on that in a few days. If not next week.

[amber pawn]

@nimble jackal @blissful sedge It's not time-based, it can vary depending on how long it takes you to cycle through StoredInteractions in savedata.

[blissful sedge]

Do you know how many interactions are stored?

[amber pawn]

I havent counted, but it's hundreds at least, and would guess a thousand or two at most. StoredInteractions is a very broad category, a lot of different things qualify.

[white tapir]

is there a spawn rate % for solar systems or are multitools random?

[amber pawn]

@white tapir Random, 2-4 models per pool, space station and planets, rolled independently

[white tapir]

TY! Is their a fast way to find minor outposts? I just find trading with the signal beacon thingie

[amber pawn]

@white tapir Inhabited Outpost Charts, you sit in your ship onplanet and keep activating them until you have 6 markers total, 1 will guaranteedly be a Minor Settlement. Then you only ever clear the Minor Settlement marker, so that you can trigger a chart to get another Minor Settlement.

[white tapir]

ty!

first thing i check and it looks pretty neat! Ty!! (its awful though lol but it looks COOL)

[ruby torrent]

[jovial olive]

@fallow osprey I realized i can upload a pic of my multitool here xD

(also for anyone else, this multitool is glitched due to an upgrade bug, i've had it since launch and i skipped a couple of updates during which the previous upgrades i had on it were turned into obsolete tech but for some reason the stats stayed the same)

I remembered the stats a bit wrong too

[fallow osprey]

Haha. C class with those stats. That's absolutely nutty 😂. Would upgrading it to an S class mess it up?

[amber pawn]

Yep

[jovial olive]

Idk i havent tried

Should take a backup and try

[amber pawn]

@jovial olive It'll roll current bonuses on class upgrade, so you'll gain SC slots, and convert it to an ordinary trash pistol.

[low oracle]

That’s hilarious lol

[low oracle]

I love the white & gold ones

[jovial olive]

Yeah i need to get a new multi tool tho

This one is somewhat inconvenient

The issue is i have to be like 100u away from any door i want to bust down

Because literally any splash from plasma or geology cannon will instakill me

It does something absurd like 160k damage per shot

[amber pawn]

@jovial olive Drop the launchers and set up a maxed Neutron Cannon - you still get splash, but no worries of self harm, has >8x the effect range of Scatter, and passes right through most walls and doors. XD

[mighty fable]

[mighty fable]

Thank you

[pulsar charm]

Just found this sweet baby

[golden timber]

3 super charges nice, I’d focus on bolt caster and get insane damage

[pulsar charm]

Not long since started the game. About 15 hours in. I keep seeing people say supercharged weapons and stuff, is that the S icon or is it something different. I only have the default multi-tool so on the lookout.

[gleaming stream]

Supercharged slots are slots that glow with a gradient

When you install a technology module with numerical stats in such a slot

Those numbers get a hefty bonus

That S icon is the class of given Multitool

For example the rifle posted above by NotOkayChamp is an A class

The supercharged slots are the slots with purple tint in them

We see 2 of them in the bottom row

[woeful stratus]

[pulsar charm]

Yep...all old spawns seems to be shifted

[pulsar charm]

Mt class is locked per tool/cabinet meaning class will be the same weather you reload or not

Is there a specific place you can find the experimental and alien or is it total rng?

Unless you are going to a documented address, it's luck to find

[little coyote]

Hand made is a pretty useful one looks like

[mortal bramble]

Mods/upgrades optimization suggestions? I feel I have them okay, but not I'm just not sure I have everything is best places.

[amber pawn]

You would think, nearly two years deep into this rabbit hole called Multitool spawn mechanics, that I'd know better than to believe I've got them all wrapped up and understood..... since HG hasn't introduced anything new and unexplained to the subject in a while, it was high time for me to stumble into some old, unrecognized puzzling behaviour lol.

[pale vapor]

go on?

[amber pawn]

So, my Armourer finally pulled an S Class MT this morning, which I had been waiting for so I could go jump around Uncharted systems looking for a super unique S Class. I arrive, and he pulls out an A Class model; okay, I figured there was a chance it'd be economy restricted, and to make sure, I check an Abandoned and T1 system, also A Class. I jump to a couple T3 systems, S Class again, but the models look like trash, so I jump to T2.... A Class, and now I'm a little perplexed. Another T2, A, back to T3, S, and then I jump to an Outlaw star, for the sake of thoroughness, but if T2 = 1% S, T3 = 2% S, and Outlaw = 5% S, it's a foregone conclusion, no? NO - f***ing C CLASS?!?
............so yeah, my tour of hundreds of star systems to scout MT spawns and learn mechanics apparently isn't over yet, lol.

[pale vapor]

doesn't the armorer essentially just work like a random cab each time you join a new system? earlier today mine for some reason stopped giving me tools and behaved like i had taken a tool off him even though i had not.

i have not done much tool hunting recently but a few hours earlier i spent hopping systems and i was only checking SS cab, anomaly cab and armorer "cab"
alot of the time it would be "C class at anomaly" "B class at armorer" and random class at SS but sometimes i got C's or A's at the armorer

i dont think i have seen anything except C class at the anomaly cab tho

[amber pawn]

@pale vapor From what I had read/seen myself prior to today, my understanding was that each day, the Armourer offers models in 1 Class (either rolled or procgen-scheduled people guessed), so the belief was that on S Class day, they could be carted around on one's Freighter pulling the S Class model from any pool in the game, regardless of economy.

Clearly not the case, however it's also obvious that the Class isnt rolled randomly per system - every single T3 econ is pulling an S Class for me, every Outlaw C, and everywhere else A.

[pale vapor]

well i have to admit that is quite strange

like i said my weapons guy stopped offering me tools randomly so i can't do any testing. i guess he only offers so many per day even if you don't accept his tool. tomorrow i will have a closer look at what hes offering.

one thing i did find intresting that i only thought about recently is that you can get tools from uninhabited systems by checking the armorer and the anomaly cabinet

[amber pawn]

Yep, in as little as 3 days it's possible to scout all 6-28 MT seeds in any star system, Uncharted, Shadow, and Phantom included. (On PS4/XB1, it's all 14-28 models so long as one has the means to access Phantoms lol)

[odd sorrel]

In the market for an S class experimental. Anyone know of nice looking ones in black/green?

[pulsar charm]

Clearly I haven’t played this game enough because what the heck is an Armourer and where do I get one?

[past knot]

Have people been complaining about cabinets changing from long-time posts? As in a well-known S cabinet is now an A.

[amber pawn]

@past knot Outlaws was the most recent cabinet reroll, anything posted after that should still be valid

[past knot]

There have been a few complaints, but I checked the most recent -> A grey/pink alien by Austintacious - and it was indeed an A instead of an S.

Although I checked one of my S finds, and it was as it was before. So I was wondering how widespread this was.

[amber pawn]

I've checked several of my own MT finds from after Waypoint and before Fractals, and all retained proper S Class - with any luck, the issue with Austie's lipstick will work itself out once the major bugfixes have been pushed. But if not, I'll be wildly amused - not about players losing access to the current best Dmg MT spawn, just about the fact that I'm pretty sure mine is 2nd best and would become #1 by default, lol.

[past knot]

lol... well let me be the first to congratulate you if that turns out to be the case.

[amber pawn]

Either way, I have decided I shall no longer employ an Armourer NPC on my main save.

[past knot]

I read what you wrote about that. That’s a shame about the changes.

[amber pawn]

@past knot Oh, afaik they werent changes, they were mechanics no one was aware of. And I'm not firing my Armourer, I decided he deserves a promotion; from now on, I'm calling him my Weapons Master. 🙂

After I was done checking MTs for class from them for the day, I decided to port to one of my Alien MT systems to grab the offered S Class out of curiosity to reveal the 2 SC slot positions I couldnt see because of eother broken tech/slot not unlocked yet.

......and minus the weapons tech I installed on the spot, this is what he handed me. XD

4 months out from the introduction of SC slots, the only perfect SC layout for my day 1 Boltcaster tech I had managed to discover was an upgrade to S Class; I did not expect my Weapons Master to hand over the model capable of the maximum possible vanilla Damage!! 😄 😄

[past knot]

Geez look at that dmg. That’s amazing. And that is subtle colouring.
OOX
OOX
XOX
I haven’t taken my armourer out very much, even though your previous process made me intensely curious about what’s happening in uncharted systems. Considering how much I’m looking at mt’s lately I should get on that.

[amber pawn]

I'm going to start checking the offer in T3, T2, Uncharted, and Outlaw each day now, now that I know multiple classes are possible same day, need to build a dataset to solve the equation of how it works 🙂

[pulsar charm]

The black & white experimentals with black crystals look amazing. Hope I get one on this playthrough.

[misty patio]

Euclid, Red&Black Experimental
Class C, Spacestation

[pulsar charm]

In dozens of hours I managed to find one s classmulti-tool and it was worse than most C class tools I find. The RNG is really starting to burn me out.

[mint wing]

You can upgrade class later, focus on looks and SC slot layout

[tawdry siren]

@pulsar charm what will really burn you out, is when HG change something and the MT or 1st wave ships don't spawn anymore. Its reason I stopped searching.

[pulsar charm]

Yeah I've had to take a break from the game. The lack of progression or getting anything decent is taking its toll. Gonna play another game just for the feeling of getting somewhere. But its a good game to keep installed and pop back to every now and then.

[pale vapor]

today all my tools were C class except outlaw systems that gave me B's. all with the same sc slot layout. also the same across all saves so its account bound?

from the armorer that is

[vernal pagoda]

boltcaster or spitter rifle?

[pale vapor]

pulse spitter is better after all upgrades

[amber pawn]

@pale vapor The class is account bound for sure. I wouldve thought the armourers on diff saves would offer diff SC layouts, based on specific NPC seed, but youre saying the layouts were all the same too?

[pale vapor]

yes all the same

well i checkd 4 different saves

yeah 1 sec

[wheat axle]

ive been looking for an s class alien multi tool. ive been looking in high econ systems, going to the planets, reloading, and checking the space station box. i havent seen a single alien multi tool (only pistols and rifles). is there something im missing?

[vapid dagger]

No idea, I've been to maybe 100 space stations and I only found one. Not sure how rare they are though

[true holly]

That is an alien rifle multitool, quite rare, but there are other alien multiools.

[vapid dagger]

which one is the rarest? also does the name matter at all?

[true holly]

The name is procedurally generated, so it doesn't matter that much. All multi-tools are equally rare because of procgen, but some have extras details that are more rare than others. A good example of this is an experimental multi-tool with glowing green tubes, which is considered the rarest multi-tool.

[amber pawn]

@true holly It's not, a basic rifle with 3 crystal accessories is the rarest multitool

(Magazine + rear accessory + barrel accessory)

[true holly]

Ah, didn't know that, good to know.

[amber pawn]

@true holly So rare that not 1 natural find has ever been documented, to my knowledge lol.

[true holly]

Well then, that'd be a trophy-worthy find if anyone ever finds it.

[amber pawn]

Yep, I've found 2 of 3 a couple of times, but that's easier by an order of magnitude lol.

[lunar pivot]

I dont know how to get that im new to this still

[hearty flame]

Glyphs are in the picture.

• find a Portal
• enter Glyphs
• fly to New Rotcol
• get out of ship
• reload save
• fly to Lausion Tau + coordinates
• grab Multitool

[vapid dagger]

I just want to check if I'm understanding this right, if a multitool spawns in a space station, will it always be the same one for every player that visits?

[golden timber]

Unless tool has specific instructions like go to Planet X and reload then go back to station but overall should be same one as long as you follow founders steps if any

Old locations may have been rolled a class back, went to an s at station and it was a with different ss placements

[vapid dagger]

I don't actually remember how I found mine or where

would it show up again for me? or would it be replaced by a different one because I own the first

[golden timber]

It be same one it takes awhile to respawn

For the person who picked it up

[next dagger]

Guys, what should I name my multitool?

[amber pawn]

Winona

[orchid grove]

Jeff

[next dagger]

No, like actual multitool names that would fit it not human names

[amber pawn]

Winona was the name of John Crichton's pulse pistol 😛

[next dagger]

I meant like because my ship is named the scrapper of the skies. I really want something really similar to that kind of feel.

[lunar pivot]

Can someone help me get a S class mulltitool ?

[next dagger]

got nanites because you can just upgrade the stuff you find an A class

[lunar pivot]

I would love that

[glossy gulch]

[nocturne frost]

hello is it worth to have one multi tool for each task? Like pistol for mining, alien for fighting and royal or experimental for scaning ?

[dry lichen]

I think that if that is something that appeals to you, then yes.

We have plenty of room for specialized, so why not?

If you mean is it necessary, then no

[odd sorrel]

I mean, I have three I use. An alien that's pure combat and a experimental for mining/scanning for my main character. And a royal that suits my secondary character preset.

(Well, technically five. I haven't touched my starter and Switch exclusive in a while)

[dry lichen]

I have an experimental which is for scanning and mining, and then an alien for bang bang

[cedar rover]

Are there unofficial "tiers" for power levels? Like would a multitool doing 2500 potential damage be considered "B" tier damage, or 5000 be considered "S" tier damage, etc.? Not talking about the tool itself, but I'm trying to get a comparison of potential damage and scanner ranges as individual tier levels rather than the tool's inherit tier level.

[golden timber]

Scanner caps out at certain percentage

Aliens usually go to for damage

[hearty flame]

Check Pins, might be what you're looking for

Rest just depends on your procedual upgrade mods and your supercharged slots

[cedar rover]

Is that damage in thousands? Like 5-10 means 5,000 - 10,000?

[hearty flame]

Those are +% bonus

[cedar rover]

% bonus to what? How do I know if my tool is in the upper tier or lower tier of its class due to my configuration? Are there any hard numbers like 500 - 3000 dmg = weak, 300-5000 = okay, 5000-10000 dmg good, etc.

[hearty flame]

Base Dmg [not a variable] * Class [C/B/A/S] * Type [Alien/Experimental/Pistol/Rifle/Royal --> +% listed above]

[cedar rover]

Sorry, I still don't understand. I can have a S tier tool with maximizing damage or I can have a S tier tool with no damage mods installed. To me, that would be 2 different extremes or tiers even if they have the same base bonus, they would be in different leagues/tiers due to their configuration.

[hearty flame]

You're overcomplicating this

The "potential damage" number is arbitrary, you won't hit for 40k a shot or deal 40k dps, just because it says 40k there.

If you equip a maxed out S-Class Alien multitool with the best in slot, maxroll procedual mods, have all 4 supercharged slots aligned, etc

With all upgrades for Scatter Blaster [Shotgun]

You may see ridiculous numbers like 40k+ "damage potential"

But you'll still "only" hit for maybe ~2k-3k per shot

If you move all that Tech from that specific Multitool

Over to any other S-Class Alien Multitool

It's going to deal the exact same damage and have the exact same "damage potential"

There are no additional "Tiers" or rng-rolls for anything else other than this

[hearty flame]

To answer that directly :

Multitool with mods installed = 👍🏻
Multitool without mods installed = 💩

No Tiers.

[cedar rover]

So there's really no way to tell if your tool is correctly configured other than the "potential" it has.

[hearty flame]

You can use that "potential damage" number as a score to minmax your mod layout, yes. But it's not necessarily representative of the actual damage or DPS you'll end up with - in relation to the weapons you have equipped on said Multitool.

You could have the best in slot, maxed out, supercharge-aligned god tier configuration for a Pulse Spitter, but the "potential damage" number on the right will be a fraction of what you'd end up with when you'd have the Scatter Blaster instead.
You'll still probably kill Enemies faster or just as fast with the Pulse Spitter tho :D

[cedar rover]

Is there a best tips of which weapons and mods are "best" (generally best, or specific best vs specific targets)?

Sorry, I'm used to other games' tools/weapons having more hard numbers that makes it easy to see exactly what the potential is, etc. It feels somewhat abstract here rather than concrete min/max ranges.

[hearty flame]

Generally speaking higher number = better (to figure out your layout)
but it doesn't mean 40k "potential damage" Scatter Blaster > 10k "potential damage" Pulse Spitter :D

[hearty flame]

This is something to take into consideration I guess

[hearty flame]

All good, can tell you were looking for different variables and terms coming from other games :D

[cedar rover]

Thanks. I've looked over that a few times and I think I understand (or have an idea on) how to properly do layouts, but it would be nice for a confirmation that my layout is optimized for my intentions

[hearty flame]

If you somewhat match it with the layouts provided by the overview image, you'll be fine.

You gotta keep in mind that you can do any "endgame" activity (i.e. sentinel hunting or derelicts) with anything in this game, even a shitty C class Multitool with an unupgraded Boltcaster on it, just going to take you slightly longer :D

[cedar rover]

yeah, and there's also difficulty levels that can be adjusted as well. I just wanted to make sure I was getting the best out of what I have

[hearty flame]

Worry less, I'm on Survival (enemies equal to Permadeath aka highest difficulty) and I've got a bunch of mediocre S-class upgrades (not best in slot maxroll X-class) on my former B-Class-Rifle with a Neutron Cannon and usually take 2-3 shots per Sentinel .. but tend to kill 2-3 at once aswell due to the Blast Radius around it.

Is it the best possible? Maybe for me, but probably not.
Is it fun? Hell yea.
Does it work? Definitely :D

[pale vapor]

neutron cannon comes in to its own on derelict freighters. wipe out whole nests in one blast

[drowsy verge]

This is my gun on normal... Not the best but i am still in initial stages

Please suggest if i can make improvements by rearrangement 🙏

[hearty flame]

#nms-multitools message

Tight fit tho

[drowsy verge]

Yeah but that's with all upgrades i don't have them all yet....m still at "ghost in the base computer " mission

[hearty flame]

Other than moving the Mining Beam into the X Class Scanner and swapping the Xclass Scanner/Scanner with the standalone tech on the far left, not much else to optimize :D

[drowsy verge]

Yeah good idea. ... Will do

[hearty flame]

[drowsy verge]

Ouuuuu you photoshopped it

👍

[mint cypress]

I did everything right and still got a non alien multi tool sadly but the s class is better then my b

[hearty flame]

You evidently didn't do it right then

The cabinet you got that S-class Multitool from will always spawn an S-class MT.
Reloading on a specific planet [the part you messed up] is what turns it into that specific Alien-version.

[mint cypress]

ah ok well Kinda late but I will try again with a different alien tool
if i took the S-class mt and reload again on the different planet will the alien spawn even if i took the S-class mt from the cabinet

[hearty flame]

Good question, haven't tested that myself

[amber pawn]

@mint cypress @hearty flame No, if you emptied the cabinet it shall remain empty til your StoredInteractions in savedata fully cycle

[hearty flame]

In other words - once per savegame?

[amber pawn]

@hearty flame No, but for a casual player, cycling StoredInteractions can take several months

[eager ruin]

can someone help me find an s class alien multi-tool?

[mint cypress]

Time to find a different alien multi-tool then

[fringe rover]

Is there a diffrence between PS / PC /Nintendo...?

[cyan folio]

Yeah

[cyan folio]

Nitendo doesn't have settlements or multi-player. Also depending on your platform you may experience different glitches and bugs. There's really no platform that is significantly better. It comes down to your personal preference of play style and your preference on controls

[orchid grove]

Royal Red: Eissentam

I put a base there to mark it for anyone

[noble meteor]

3 billion units 😂

Y’all rich out here

[eager ruin]

@orchid grove is that in the euclid galaxy?

[knotty talon]

No Eissentam

[eager ruin]

damn

i hope some one can find a gun like that in the euclid galaxy

[knotty talon]

Yea me to

[orchid grove]

I have one in Euclid. White with gold and red with grey. I'll go back to Euclid and get screenshots of the sentinel towers i found them at. Probably in like an hour.

[orchid grove]

These are the 2 locations I found for a white sentinel and a red sentinel MT in Euclid. I would definitely turn off multiplayer before checking it out. Also I upgraded them to S class. They were found as C. @knotty talon , @eager ruin

I renamed the white one, I don't remember it's original name.

If the first tool you see is not the sentinel then create a restore point after checking and reload that restore point, they might be the second tool, I don't remember that either.

And there are bases marking the pillars but if the bases don't show the cords are in the screenshot.

[knotty talon]

I love you thanks i've been looking for it for so long

do I have to play the sentinel tower first?

And what are the glyphs for the white one

[golden timber]

They both need glyphs looks like just has cords

[eager ruin]

ok

is there a class higher than s class?

[white garnet]

X class modules can sometimes be slightly higher. i think. But as far as class on like starship and multitool, S is highest.

[orchid grove]

Ahh crap, I'll go there and get glphys, my bad

[orchid grove]

Just blow up the 3 structures and disable the sentinels in the console. You don't have to fight the 5 waves. I'll get the glyphs shortly

[stray arrow]

And "?" class

Sentinel upgrades, powerful little boosts i might say

[amber pawn]

@stray arrow Only applicable to Boltcaster, though.

[stray arrow]

Yee

Oh

Wait

Fuck

Oh well

I use it sometimes

[amber pawn]

Highest natural Damage Potential ingame 🙂

(For day 1 players, anyways lol)

[orchid grove]

White/gold sentinel tower cords are above in chat @knotty talon

Red Sentinel cords above in chat

[golden lynx]

S class multi-tool cabinet in the space station with a rifle with nice layout of super-charged slots, Euclid.

[knotty talon]

Thank you very much

[azure phoenix]

One of these is S class, two of them are C, and one of them is from my Armourer

[pale vapor]

now find me a cab with that layout on an S alien pls.

this was the closest i could find a few months ago

[crisp copper]

Do you know there’s any guns like this but with more technology

[hearty flame]

You don't happen to have the coords for that cabinet lying around, do you?

[pale vapor]

i think he said a few days ago that he got it from his base armorer. from what i understand the armorer acts like a fixed cab changing for each player every day. if you have your armorer on your freighter base and you notice he is offering an S tool you can hop systems to check S class tools across lots of systems

its pretty rare for him to offer an S class tho

[hearty flame]

Aww alright, ty.

Ye the supercharged slot configuration looked neat, that's why I asked hehe

[pale vapor]

the class and slot layout for each day is fixed

afaik thats the best layout for the boltcaster+SM blueprint

[hearty flame]

Aye :)

[craggy pawn]

wow

good morning

50k dps my maximum was 40 I thought it was impossible to exceed that, but apparently not hahaha

would you have the glyphs of some similar multitool? haha would like to try that dps too suhsush

[hallow portal]

If the once abandoned space stations have become inhabited where do we get the mutated multitools from now?

[dry lichen]

Alien multitools can be in any system. Doesn't mean they will be, but they aren't constrained to a type.

[hallow portal]

Oh I used to only ever see them at abandoned places.

[storm yoke]

Is this where I post coords to a station that gives S class mt?

[gleaming stream]

Yeah, you can also use #explorers-archive

[storm yoke]

For your obtaining pleasure, in Euclid ~ sorry about the low quality

[gleaming stream]

Make sure to include galaxy name

[dry lichen]

Need the galaxy in the post also, so we can find it

[gleaming stream]

Dem 3 SC slots in 2x3 box do be looking juicy

[dry lichen]

Yeah

4th might pop right by there too

[storm yoke]

Oh fair enough

Fixed

I figured an s class in an easy access case was something that should be shared

[dry lichen]

Aye

Did you check what the other planets offer?

Do you know how to cycle the cabinet?

[storm yoke]

I did not yet and I didn't even know that was a thing

[dry lichen]

If you land on a planet, save and reload there and then go to the station, that will be another multitool also S class

So you could see a few different S class there, depending on planet count

To get that alien tool back, save and reload on the station

[storm yoke]

Whaaaaat? That's a nifty trick

[dry lichen]

Works for any cabinet

By default you are on the system multitool pool when you enter a system by warping or teleporting

Saving and reloading on a planet switches to that planets pool

[gleaming stream]

Roarinflames made some great infographics about that

[storm yoke]

Oh so it's not exactly random from the system but we can target a specific planet? And if I want to check system generics, just warp into the station ?

[gleaming stream]

If you search their posts in #explorers-archive you will see

[storm yoke]

I swear it's time I buy a notepad

[gleaming stream]

Each planet has a collection / pool of MT models

Reloading the game at different planets loads different MT pools

[dry lichen]

As does the system

[gleaming stream]

Yes

Visiting a cabinet causes the game to generate an MT from that pool

[storm yoke]

Ohhhhhhhhh, we're weighting the queue

Stacking? Idk the term, we're target fishing

[gleaming stream]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/803538367866339359/863865892605394984/Touch-of-the-dance-2021.png?width=1221&height=675

[dry lichen]

Manipulating the pool to see more tools than what we could at just one cabinet yeah

[gleaming stream]

All those models can be obtained from the single cabinet, depending on which pool was loaded

All in S class, the class is fixed

[storm yoke]

I think I messed up lol, my cabinet is still empty

[dry lichen]

Well, if you bought it, it won't be there till you clear it from the StoredInteractions

[storm yoke]

Oh, so if we find a tool we like in c class we can bring it to an s class cabinet in a way

Stored interactions

[dry lichen]

Potentially

[gleaming stream]

I think that is not the case

[dry lichen]

Not sure on the C class anymore, used to be they wouldn't get up to S

[gleaming stream]

There are different tiers of MTs, some spawn in lower class cabinets, some in higher class cabinets

[storm yoke]

I think I kind of get it

I mean it makes sense at least

Would it work if I warped into a new system and reloaded in front of this cabinet to see that systems pool? xD

[dry lichen]

No, just works for same system

[storm yoke]

Gotcha

Thanks for putting up with all of my sub questions lol, my lack of terminology makes googling things hard

The recent changes don't help googlong much either

[dry lichen]

Lol no problem

[golden lynx]

No. Generally, you will need to buy the technology from the Anomaly, or transfer it from other multi-tools.

[drowsy verge]

Are ppl getting class mt from sentinal pillars is that possibility now

I thought was max

[graceful flame]

Euclid Station cabinet

[drowsy verge]

Euclid...reload at minor SETTLEMENT

[blissful sedge]

You should check the other tools there too.

[graceful flame]

Not into my multitools so will leave as a surprise lol

[pale vapor]

Odyalutai Galaxy.

[pale vapor]

also 2 more s class cabinets on planet "Enianes B18" Same tool but 2 different slot layouts.
marked with com-balls

[drowsy verge]

Yeah... Although...its not a monster yet

[pulsar charm]

4.5⭐️

[pale vapor]

thats a 5/5 pistol if you unlock the other 2 sc slots and put some good mods on it

5.5 /5 if it looks like mine

[amber pawn]

@pale vapor Plasma Resonator requires save editing

[pale vapor]

yes it does

[amber pawn]

4.5/5, lol

[pale vapor]

x class mining mods seem hella difficult to min max

like harder than any other x mods i have done

most of the wepon mods you can get a max x class easy within 4 or 5 stacks

[amber pawn]

S are better, there isnt a single X mod that hits +20% mining speed

There are several X mod types that dont have a single perfect roll across all 100,000

Scanner is another

[pale vapor]

scanner you can get 10k+ and 4 values easy though

[amber pawn]

Plasma Launcher and GeoCannon, thats it for MTs I think

[pale vapor]

i never used either of those

[amber pawn]

@pale vapor But you cannot get +50% +11k +11k +11k, theoretical max for XScanner

[pale vapor]

yea but still not hard to get better than s class on scanner

[amber pawn]

Not hard on any tech, usually 1 in 12

[pale vapor]

mining beam is hard

[amber pawn]

Question: have you rerolled X mining recently? Until Endurance, X couldnt roll 4 bonuses on those

[pale vapor]

i dont think i ever got an X class mod that has all 4 stats better than an S

not in excess no

i have rolled a couple of stacks at a time as i get them

[amber pawn]

And you never will, no XMining mod hits +20% speed

Hence why I consider S to be better

[pale vapor]

the speed is all that matters tho really. and the yield from the other mod

[amber pawn]

We agree on that, lol

[pale vapor]

@amber pawn on a side note i never used the save editor untill recently and i only did because i got screwed over by a game crash. and the only thiing i dont feel guilty about is that i now have the sm bluprint on all of my saves and not just my day 1 save. and also even though i dont play on ps4 i still have the photonix core and i dont feel bad cos i did actualy pre-order the game.

and as for the plasma resonator i think i earned it 😛

[amber pawn]

The Plasma Resonator isnt a bonus blueprint though, it was actually retired - not judging, I have it and every other blueprint on my non-main play saves.

[pale vapor]

its not like its stupid OP or anything

[amber pawn]

I know, and I dont feel the need for excuses, I play all of the ways, one of the benefits of 15 save slots lol.

[obsidian forum]

Wher be royal one

[amber pawn]

Theres some - the ones in S Class were upgraded from C to show final dmg stat

[obsidian forum]

Ty

[pulsar charm]

Can anyone post the locations for the coolest looking alien multi tools ?

Nice colorfull ones

[drowsy verge]

Arrange them properly...like in image below yours (as per your super slots)....and make this as your prime mining tool due to mt type bonus boost

[cyan folio]

Ok thanks

[stray arrow]

how does one find such weapons

[rotund pumice]

the royal MT can only be found in the sentinels pillars and only C class, but if you take the time to up it to S, you get this exotic looking MT with some nice stats

[stray arrow]

ugh

sentinel pillars

[rotund pumice]

yep, in the tech stored in

[stray arrow]

every time i go to them its a pistol or standard issue rifle

[rotund pumice]

it's random, sorry :/

[stray arrow]

ooof

[rotund pumice]

but you can look on NMSCE to find a pillar who have the one you want

just go to MT section, chose royal and voilà

[stray arrow]

@rotund pumice sorry for ping but, i have alien, experimental, rifle, compact, Pistol

[rotund pumice]

so search for C class tools, sorry i forgot :/

by searching C class, you will see some Royal in the mix

[stray arrow]

going now :))

red and gold

[rotund pumice]

nice pick

[rotund pumice]

good hunt

[stray arrow]

huh]

got to the place

its not red

its yellow

[pale vapor]

royals can be found up to A class.

[stray arrow]

thats not the problem

the problem is this colour

it was reported as red

its yellow for me

[pale vapor]

did you reload on the correct planet/space station?

[stray arrow]

reload? 0.o

i just got here

[rotund pumice]

whut?

[hearty flame]

Royal Multitools can't be S-class (C,B,A only)
Obtained from the Sentinel Pillars

[rotund pumice]

whut? last time i checked, it was only C

[hearty flame]

You can manually upgrade them to S tho

[rotund pumice]

of course ^^

[hearty flame]

Just bad luck :) they roll up to A naturally

[pale vapor]

do you know how mutitool pooling works? like if you make a save on a planet and then reload the save it changes the active pool of tools avaliable

[stray arrow]

oh

so it does

thanks!

[pale vapor]

np

[amber pawn]

@hearty flame When Sentinels dropped, Royals only spawned C Class

[hearty flame]

Good to know 👍🏻 ty!

[rotund pumice]

oof, i was not going crazy XD
