nms-multitools

[storm cedar]

sentinel tools dont vary in color theres just a rifle and a pistol. to cycle a system's item pool you need to take additional steps like traveling to another planet in the system and loading a restore point there and flying back

its the same for farming sentinel pillars for royal multitools

[ancient junco]

Interesting. First one was a black rifle. 2nd was a Grey... Tommy gun without the mag? Naming didn't change and we're always C tiet

[storm cedar]

create save beacon, save, reload. not what you want? land on a planet and reload then flyback to the save beacon

[storm cedar]

tommy gun style like this?

[ancient junco]

Not really

[storm cedar]

did you get it at a monolith?

oh no you said harmonic camp

[devout turtle]

Tommy gun without mag would be the sentinel pistol

[ancient junco]

Sentinel ship farming was the goal, just figured i could upgrade my tool there too if I got lucky

[storm cedar]

its only the sent rifle and pistol, can be either, but only 1 color for each. not sure what you meant by seeing a grey rifle maybe it was a storm or planet filter or something

[sharp estuary]

The saying goes that 3 star dissonant system will give you a ton of class-c stuff
I don't have that experience, it is fairly easy to find class-a stuff, class-s staff is also pretty straightforward, the main problem is colour so if you aren't picky, it is pretty easy to find class-s staff

[ancient junco]

Yeah, maybe it was the pistol looking at the wiki Pic. But long barrel idk if I'd call that a pistol

[storm cedar]

if you use carrier ai fragments to hunt sent ships instead of echo locators you can go much faster, dont have to farm locators, and the reload means you have infinite tries on the fragment before you grab a ship you like

[ancient junco]

I've found a few class a ships but never a tool yet better than b

[storm cedar]

s tool cabs are rare but you can always upgrade when you find a style/color you like

[sharp estuary]

Are you jumping into 3 stars or pirate controlled system??

[ancient junco]

That's how I got my first sentinel ship. Now I was trying to do some repeating ones for units

I've only visited 2 pirate systems so far and duno what you mean by stars

[storm cedar]

for units i like using baked goods and scanning, easy few billion units per hour and you dont have to spend all the time scrapping ships

[ancient junco]

This was the idea of the reload. Was hoping for a different style. I'm willing to put in the time to upgrade one if its cool but an ugly C is a hard pass

[sharp estuary]

if the dissonant system does not have 3 stars, you are most stuck to c and b stuff, a and s class is hard asf

That is why I only jump to 3 stars systems

[ancient junco]

Ooh thanks for that tip

[storm cedar]

its just those 2 weapons that can spawn there but for regular station cabinets, if you find an S and want the mt, you can do reloading to spawn different ones, but you have to go to different planets to cycle the item pool you cant just do it at the station or camp

[ancient junco]

Was there another qualifier about pirate systems?

I want to set up my first settlement in one. But this is probably wrong channel for that discussion.

[sharp estuary]

don't do it if not 3 star system, to farm both ship and weapon which is easy to get class-a stuff and staff class-s, but like you said, wrong channel

[ancient junco]

Thanks

[storm cedar]

lmao i just found the same alien mt i got from the expedition but with a blue crystal instead of purple what are the chances

[ancient junco]

My dissonant ship camp is set up is in a 3 star system, how's that for luck!

[tired zenith]

Would it be best starting off new to get and MT an upgrade it to S or to gate/warp to an already S rank Multitool that be discovered on here?

[sharp estuary]

@ancient junco so it is weird how you got so many class-c weapon. They say here that 3 star system gives a ton of class-c stuff but that isn't really my experience so why I don't even bother jumping to 1 and 2 star dissonant system anymore.

@tired zenith personal preference, I like to find things myself coz that is the fun part of it. If you don't wanna bother, use glyphs portal to get a class-s and call it a day.

[ancient junco]

Just lucky I guess

[spiral moat]

ive been 3 days looking on different autophage little camps and harmonic camps too to craft a bloody staff, looking for an S one. A is the better ive found…should I just upgrade u.u

[ancient junco]

Do you get shafted on overcharged slots if you upgrade a C to S or do they increase/move?

Still having zero luck finding a better sentinel weapon than a C. Also my 8th or so pillar also has had nothing but C regular tools. That's how you get a royal, right?

[ancient junco]

Can pirate systems be 3star? Either I only have 1s on my map or can't tell

[sharp estuary]

Nope, only pirate controlled. Normal systems only are either 1, 2, 3 stars. Some system are unclassified or something like that aka dead systems where you get those synthetic robots companion

[devout turtle]

The ones with robots are uncharted, and wouldnt even have multitools to find, I think

[sharp estuary]

Thank you, that is the word.

[ancient junco]

Thanks guys

Is there a trick to sentinel pillars and the royal tools or just repetition, find as many as you can?

[storm cedar]

theres a trick, kinda

[somber cypress]

@ancient junco i have an A class multi-tool from a sentinel pillar after i defeated all waves of sentinels first from 1 star to 5 star, then the stars went blue and the planet was without sentinels. Then i went to the sentinel pillar, destroyed its turrets, went into the console, read the archives etc first, then got the tech stuff

[ancient junco]

I haven't seen the stars go blue, but otherwise have done that

[lone siren]

Just means they used the option to disable sentinels (through the pillars computer/ interface)

Or killed the final walker boss*

Both have the same effect

[hybrid flint]

how do i get a staff?

[neat pike]

Autophage camps

[civic light]

should i take the new one?

[hot flicker]

You wont get more damage bonus but the mining and scanner will be better.

[south phoenix]

I mean you could potentially get more damage at S

Its kinda just straight better than Rifle tech aside

[fresh jetty]

i have finally broken the 100k dmg mark :3

[dusk dirge]

Is it better to put the weapon module itself or an S tier module in an overcharged slot? If i only have 1 slot available for example

[ivory hound]

How does the sentinel upgrade work btw

Someone said not to put them adjacent?

What about diagonal

[ivory hound]

Forbidden modules*

[lunar halo]

they only give bonus to bolt caster, can place them like that

[ivory hound]

So no other weapons get the buff?

Ok I can work with that

[onyx tapir]

ive been a fool its supposed to be cluttered together

[past harness]

is there a graph like that but for voltaic staffs too?

[hot flicker]

This was the full sheet.

[past harness]

thank youu

[wooden salmon]

Guys. I know it was asken billion times. Can I remove gear from old multitul and relocate it somehow on the new one? Or I have to generate upgrades everytime I have a new tool?

[neat pike]

You can uninstall them to store them as items yeah

[dull oriole]

i made a gun thatll melt styuff

[ancient junco]

Do the bonuses from this really do anything? I just spent everything upgrading from a B tier rifle to S tier royal with similar supercharged slots and am getting the same rewards for scans. With the same mods

Thoroughly disappointing

[orchid lotus]

Because scan bonus is how far your scan pulse that highlights resources goes not the analysis visor

[ancient junco]

Well **** me then

That was 100% a waste of half a billion credits and a boatload of nanites

Along those lines, what's the mining bonus mean - speed or #of stuff mined?

[sterile moss]

accidently just traded in my main MT

[dusk dirge]

Is it better to put the base weapon module or the S module in the supercharged slot?

[storm cedar]

both but if you only have 1, base weapon them mods

also adjacency matters

[dusk dirge]

Ty

[mossy carbon]

dawg ive been hawking down the coordinate exchange on reddit and I havent found a single working white staff with red crystal 😭

[storm cedar]

you can manipulate color spawns on staff yourself, took me a ton of rerolls but i made one to match a white/gold outfit

def saw white/red in the mix a few times

[mossy carbon]

nah i found one finally, after two days of searching

[lofty pelican]

Can the sentinel pistol come in other colors than orange? Ive only ever seen orange

[orchid lotus]

nope. there's only 1 design of the sentinel pistol, and 1 for the sentinel rifle

[jaunty vector]

how the freak are you supposed to get huge damage numbers cuz of the module caps?

[ocean meadow]

Please organize this🙏

[dull oriole]

Lol hey man the goal was to make a high powered gun not ocd over it it was my first attempt lol

[hot flicker]

Organizing it will give you more power with adjacent bonus.

[ocean meadow]

My fault bro

[dull oriole]

huh okay whenever i try it again ill try it out

[hot flicker]

Even differnt placement of the liked tech when they are all together can change. I slapped a bunch of Pulse Engine tech/upgrades together and then rearranged them a few different ways and I was getting differnt number depending. @dull oriole

Not sure what the science behind that is but someone here might.

[dull oriole]

okay i modified and ordered it into place hows this?

[slate fox]

adjanacy is weird but when it clicks it clicks. In short and minus some other tidbits, they only boost what they are touching. So you want your best mod usually the main tech to be surrounded on 3 ends with its upgrade modules.

from what ive read, its best to avoid + shapes with the mod setups

[dim elm]

holy shit

[slate fox]

damage potential is account for all dmg mods correct

or does it account the highest weapon mod?

[hot flicker]

Move the scanner in the upper left corner down to the scanner upgrades and it should increase your scanner range.

[slate fox]

its always hard for me to see where the supercharged slots are

[wraith lantern]

how am i supposed to read these co ordinance?

and is this an alien multitool

[mint wing]

Glyphs show only system and planet address. Atlantid mt are found only on korvax monoliths and only after doing late game quest. So need +- planetary coords to find the spot on the planet where mt is.

If that "alien" mt was on space station maybe try to land on one of the planets. save . Reload save and go back to station and see if mt in cabinet changed.

[wraith lantern]

cheers mate that helps alot

[fierce stratus]

I managed with a similar rifle to get it to 6200, S class tech always helps.

I personally am a fan of the pulse spitter

Oh and your scanner range needs work, got mine to 1800.

[golden egret]

Guys are multitools charged slots random always or do specific multitools from specific space stations always have the same ones, I'm trying to find one with 4 charged slots next to each other to make a better multitool than my current 80k damage one

[mint wing]

Specific mt cabinet will have specific sc slots layout.

[jade obsidian]

got this atlantid multitool earlier today at A class. My screenshot button didn't work when I tried to screenshot where I got it sadly

Literally the first monolith I searched

[maiden lagoon]

That thing Looks sick

[slate fox]

1st sential mt

are its supercharge slots useable, or should i lf a different one?

[latent gorge]

needjust repair it

[slate fox]

thing remains me of a gun from quake

[outer laurel]

I like that style, of the ones I've seen so far.
SC slots is up to you. At very least you should try to get SC slots that are on the edge of your tech slots, because its cuts their usefulness in half.
Some people like to have the SC clustered so they can pimp a single tech, but thats up to you. I prefer a more balanced distribution of slots with room to support separate tech

yours is fine though. slots are better than the MT I use

[slate fox]

true true more i look at it this will work nicely. the 4 sc slot is a wild card until i upgrade its class

[outer laurel]

that are *not on the the edge of your tech slots

[slate fox]

i havea base here already, should i move it here closer to the camp?

[outer laurel]

to camp the MT?

[slate fox]

yea it seemed easy enough to get, i could grab more and salvage it

[outer laurel]

yeah you could put a base right there then

[jade obsidian]

Coords I can't find again, just use the max upgraded exocraft radar, continue searching if you don't like the supercharged slots, the other cosmetic stuff stays the same if you warp into the system through the space station. Planet is Rokend Minor, system is Noogata if the portal doesn't take you there immediately

[tame grove]

i actually got an A class that color matched my character for the first staff i got, took me about 2-3 hours of re-rolling and i landed on a gold mine the last roll before i accepted a B class

[storm cedar]

nice

Very beautiful rifle mutitool. Hilbert dimension. Planetary coordinates: -61.67, -25.86
EXTRA INFO: This planet also has dragonfly sent ships, for any1 interested.

[slate fox]

say less

glad i didnt drop the 50k on my current sent ship, didnt know dragonfly ones existed till now

[split sand]

There are 2 of them. The other one is a A Class Model ✨

[rose bronze]

Found an S-class royal multitool

[wide stratus]

Same planet with my previous post, white-golden rifle multitool. Planetary coordinates: -31.97, -170.83

[ancient junco]

Have a pic of a dragonfly ship?

I just found a really sweet all black one in S class. Haven't spent on it yet so very interested in other styles

[wide stratus]

#nms-legacy-ships message

[chilly island]

[slate fox]

How many planets/moons are there, there?

[marsh musk]

how dose one find said planet?

[slate fox]

Ty will for hunt for this today. And also see what variations they have

[karmic scroll]

Guys why the dmg is so low I'm seeing same gun B with like 1700dmg by other players

[dull sparrow]

where do you find atlantid multi tools

[dull sparrow]

how do you utilise those coordinates?

[fallen sparrow]

it shows inside of your starship I think

after that, you just gotta figure out directions

[mighty monolith]

you can get them from any monolith in a korvax system once u have done the " those who returned " mission.

[fallen sparrow]

are those the staffs?

[valid hollow]

i am here i just had a dialog but i answered and it just reduced my reputation? what was i supossed to do?

[candid shell]

Are the atlantid multitools better than a staff type? (Both S for conversation sake)

[night heart]

thanks for putting the waypoint

[cloud spoke]

I made a staff with the colors I want but it's only c class, is upgrading staff to s class just as good as finding one?

[heady pond]

Base damage on Staves is literally just dependent on how/where S Class was acquired. 483.3 for nat S regulated, 416.7 for nat S outlaw, 433.3 for anything upgraded to S

However these small Changes in base stats are negligible in the long run and won’t have much of a noticeable change to your gameplay.

As long as you like how it looks you can improve the tool by applying better equipment/modules.

[heady pond]

Dependent on what the tool is being used for, different types of tools do have a proficiency in certain areas, in this case Atlantid for mining and staff for damage.

Those these class bonus are negligible and you would be better off investing in a tool you like then applying better quality modules with better stats.

[heady pond]

Once you have completed the quest, “they who returned” there will be a node glowing purple (discordant interface) on the monolith platform that you have to interact with and input atlantideum in three glyphs, doing so will allow you to claim the Atlantid tool.

[cloud spoke]

👍

[tender granite]

guys is there a sort of guide for layout techs in MT?

[heady pond]

Check the pins.

Will have this there.

[tender granite]

tyvm!,

[valid hollow]

Ty bro

[tender granite]

guys look at the atlandid tool i found! it was a class i instantly made it S and bought some expansion slots, 3 supercharged slot one after another (sorry for the brightness, its an issue i couldn't solve on screen shots :D)

[steel dove]

coordinates??

[tender granite]

ummm do you mean glyph things people post?

[steel dove]

yes sorry

[tender granite]

sec

[steel dove]

thank you, also if you have the + - thanks

[tender granite]

I already left the place for +- but its a dissonant planet, if you have echo locator you can start a recover sentinel ship mission and find all monoliths

[steel dove]

Alrighty no worries there

[tender granite]

[steel dove]

thanks

[pastel pilot]

What are those questions mark upgrades

[slate fox]

They are sentinel mods, their rank is ?

[supple copper]

Is this still relevant? Has there been no updates?

[heady pond]

This is the most up to date for optimal layout with/without SC slots.

[heady pond]

Forbidden multitool modules (sentinel modules) obtained from destroying sentinels and looting barrels to obtain salvaged glass which can be opened to sometimes give you Sentinel weapon shards or sentinel exosuit fragment

[raven temple]

what's the coolest autophage staff you guys have made/seen?

[heady pond]

I’m fond of this one for the photo factor.

Was made with a once working glitch.

[raven temple]

that's awesome

also quick question about tech modding, are there any other mods that increase resources mined apart from the optical drill mod?

with that supercharged, I'm tantalisingly close to bumping the resources mined stat over 100%

[heady pond]

There really isn’t a “best” go for a tool you like the look of over base stats, base stats have a very small variation from tool to tool, you’ll barely notice a difference, the difference comes from applying better quality modules with better stats.

In the pinned you can find what tool types are proficient in certain areas (class bonus) and the optimal layout for the best adjacency bonus and supercharge layout, I would suggest looking at the latter and applying it to your current tool as most modules in that tool are under-utilised in adjacency.

[heady pond]

No, but you can use the food item ‘the Stellerator’ in the nutrient ingestor to get a +64% resources mined

[raven temple]

well that's sad, but thanks! bumping it over 100% will increase resource collection of some specific materials significantly, which is why I wanted it

means I get two instead of one

theroetically

[slate fox]

Thought it was one of the donuts you want to use for mining

[plush goblet]

Anyway to get past expedition tools?

[slate fox]

Reruns

[heady pond]

1. Save editing this will allow you to “unlock” the items or just add the items without actually playing the expedition. #nms-modding has info pinned there if you want to pursue platform capability and the process

2. Service bot, https://nomansapp.com the service bot can unlock the rewards for you, they do have free deliveries but that from memory is 4 uses a month, you can use their patron to pay for more uses.

3. Mods can allow various access to unlock rewards, the consumerism mod allows you to buy expedition rewards for quicksilver.

4. Reruns, rerun pattern only has the current years expeditions rerun at the end of that year, previous years don’t get a rerun after, only two expeditions have had reruns outside the normal, 1 was because mass effect had its anniversary and another did but it’s rewards were not the same.

If you relied on reruns this year you would get the pillar of titan staff and the basilisk crown staff.

[supple copper]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[merry sapphire]

ehmmmm...

[maiden lagoon]

How the heck did you get that in there ?! xD

[broken snow]

The nanotubes and hermetic seals? If you hover over something you want to install and press E (at least on pc) it shows you a diagram of things you need to install it and if you don't have the materials for the thing you want to install but do have the raw materials to craft those you can click on them to craft them, which deposits them in the multitools grid (or wherever you do it, same thing happens on ships, your exosuit, etc.) and if you cancel out of the screen without actually crafting the end result, they just stay there. (not the person asked, but it has happened to me before)

[dawn void]

does anyone have glyphs for a purple and black rifle

been searching for a while

[slate fox]

like a rifle class or exotic/sent/etc?

[hushed palm]

The blue lines move through it

3 charge slots open not added any to it

[zealous nebula]

Very nice!

[neat pike]

Love the golden ball, will be visiting for sure

[slate fox]

What planet, what your screenshot is showing isn't matching the system im in inputting your planet code

[lone lion]

Oh dang how do you get that?

[tired zenith]

Either this is outdated or the reloading on another planet is a must to spawn the exotic/royal weapon cause I keep getting a b rank instead.

[tired zenith]

Or rather should I ask do I have to keep going back to the other planet and save reload and fly back til it spawns?

[frosty oar]

exotic can still be C-S Class, type is seperate from class
if ure following the guide and they look different then ig its outdated

[rancid dust]

I can't get to the white and silver one because some blocked it off 🥲

[tired zenith]

Same an I use the teleporter they made there and it spawns different MTs

[rancid dust]

Finally got through just for it to not be a royal weapon 🙃

[fierce stratus]

It's not an S class but that sure is a sweet supercharger layout

Both the other S class pulse splitter upgrades plus the open one.

[fierce stratus]

Update managed to get damage output to over 12k, that's my first in class multi-tool for fighting. Managed a quad pretty handily, plus a number of those smaller versions.

[heady pond]

Love the model, just for an fyi the forbidden (sentinel) modules only work for the boltcaster.

Once upgraded to S you never know that 4th SC slot could be in a pretty good location

[fierce stratus]

Reload sure seems quicker

[fierce stratus]

Like just below the pulse splitter.

Or on it

[heady pond]

Unfortunately those modules do not influence any other tech besides boltcaster.

[heady pond]

Is that where it is or a hope? Would loved to see it complete the T

[fierce stratus]

Which I don't use, so find another use for the slots

[fierce stratus]

That would be the pulse splitter itself, and a hope and a prayer it happens

But I'll have to stop spending nanites on tech or I'll never get there

[heady pond]

lol fair enough, looking forward to seeing where the slot is

[supple copper]

Is this a sentinel weapon?

[lone lion]

How do you get that??

The multitool eats

[fierce stratus]

Visited discordant monoliths, this one in Calypso

[lone lion]

Oh, i re-played the game yesterday so i’m kinda lost, is their a wiki or a video explaining on how to get it?

[fierce stratus]

Sentinal rifle

[fierce stratus]

Probably, or try a wiki

I just built a exocraft base and ran radar searching for alien structures

Move one to another until I found that one, gave up after that

[mint wing]

Didn't notice, good to know

About the korvax systems

[ocean kayak]

Are there any fixed locations for a good multitool? I seem unlucky best I have is a B tier so far

[lone lion]

OHHHHH I SEE, i alr saw one but it was kinda trash but tysm

[mint wing]

Uncan upgrade all mt types to s class with nanites.

[ocean kayak]

I'm lacking Nanites like crazy 😄 I want that staff but It seems I'm not far enough in msq

[fierce stratus]

Find another monolith same planet, same weapon different class and sc slots

[steel dove]

If I find one I like, just keep going to other monoliths on the same planet till i find the layout / class I want?

[fierce stratus]

You hope

It's what I did

[steel dove]

Oh yeah ofc, just meaning each monolith will have the same model its just up to chance

[fierce stratus]

👍

[fierce stratus]

Here's a short shot of it in action, I thought by the look the barrel would move forward and yep. Nice detail on the globe and ring.

[ancient junco]

Is there general consensus on which weapon type is best? So far I've only really focused on blaze javelin bc the stun upgrade is so powerful and running on carbon instead of managing ammo seems easy. Suggestions on which to try next?

[wispy nebula]

how do you get that?

[proper magnet]

I enjoy the Pulse Spitter, but you need to carry ammo for it.

[ocean meadow]

Neuron cannon is pretty good. Sufficient damage and easy to charge

Pulse splitter is also good

[lunar halo]

Bolt caster have highest number in tech family so it can get more ad bonus than other, but you can only notice this weapon deal more damage and kill faster when play in higher difficulty setting. As for normal setting all weapon seem deal similar so it more preference

[charred dew]

I need one of these

[south phoenix]

From my gameplay I haven't figured out how to get much out of most weapons

[charred dew]

But in blue n yellow

[south phoenix]

My Pulse Spitter shreds everything, Boltcaster does a bit, Blaze Javelin does basically nothing

Cycled a few others but idrk exacts and none of them were doing much of anything

[charred dew]

Pulse splitter for the win. I love it goes brrrbrrbrrbrr on my dual shock 5

[south phoenix]

I can take out Sentinel Walkers in around 20 seconds and I genuinely dont know if it gets much better than that

My upgrades arent even optimized just 2 random S classes and a decently high roll X class

[fierce stratus]

Too everyone asking where I got this, I'll try to pinpoint the system and provide a screenshot of a ship in the station with it's address

Didn't do too many hops yesterday after getting it

[fierce stratus]

Update for mt seekers. I visited every Kofax system in my recent list and none were the right ones. I can only surmise that it's in one if these two abandoned systems which don't show up on the teleporter list.

[fierce stratus]

Just portaled to both, neither is the one. Apologies not able to help here.

[fierce stratus]

On the flip side I took it into a Nexus mission, hack a sentinal tower, solo and were it not for running out of ammo would have made it. 1200 pugneum, a hard frame engine, and 11 shards of glass but no quicksilver grrr.

[ancient junco]

That's interesting. Blaze javelin takes a while for sure but it's got infinite ammo and with the stun upgrade i never get hit even with its poor damage. Seeing the other options have enough damage the target can die before you get hit rather than being stun locked would definitely be nicer

[maiden girder]

I use my blaze javelin for long range, it’s way more accurate than the pulse splitter and I can charge it up to max power before I fire it

But my pulse splitter shreds pretty much everything else, and I can stun-lock sentinel quads and walkers with the paralysis launcher

[mighty monolith]

1 Black and 2 Grey S Class Atlantid Rifles - Eissentam Galaxy

[mint wing]

4 supercharged slots atlantid multitool P layout

[neat pike]

I'm running neutron cannon, can be used at close/medium longish range, can be spammed and charged, good dmg output

[gritty surge]

what is a good enough multitool for killing the corrupt sentinels? im trying to look for a sentinel ship

[heady pond]

Any, it’s the upgrade modules you install for a chosen weapon you use that will make the difference.

Each multitool does have a proficiency in certain fields these class bonuses can be seen in the image below. The bonus itself is negligible and really won’t make a huge difference, but that option is there for min/maxing players.

[gritty surge]

would this be good enough? also should i have multiple multitools for multiple weapons or is just one for the scatter blaster fine

i also have a rifle with 30 slots but its a-class and im not sure if it would be worth it to upgrade class

[heady pond]

Up to you, I tend to normally have two or just package up core modules that I don’t normally use, I mainly use the pulse spitter for it’s high ROF makes handling sentinels easier. The scatter blaster is fine tho just depends on what those modules stats are, the burst cooldown stat can give a great advantage along side fire rate. you can check highest stat rolls in your catalog and guide them in technology.

With your module placement try placing the same type of module more in a box (most sides touching each other) this gives you a better adjacency bonus. See the below image.

[heady pond]

Either or, if you prefer the other one then why not, but depending on your stage in the game those nanites might be better used elsewhere while you do have an unfilled S class already. But A class if fine no reason you couldn’t use it even now.

[gritty surge]

i see tysm!

[gritty surge]

i put the modules on the rifle i had and it seems to have better supercharged slots, would this be fine? i think ill just use the other one for mining for now

i think the pistol i had had like 9-10k damage potential with the optimal module arrangement

[heady pond]

Better layout for the SC means more of a bonus so I would say that’s a good switch, supercharge your core tech first then use any other sc slot for additional modules.

The rule of thumb for SC Slots is for weapons (and sentinel ships minus antigravity well) you SC core tech first and for standard tech you supercharge Modules.

In addition to that don’t take the damage potential stat on your multitool to mean anything, Damage Potential stat on multitools is a value calculated by the game including the damage innate bonus. This stat is for your strongest weapon but keep in mind that this stat is not how much damage a weapon is doing, it’s not a damage ceiling.

If you want to know how much damage a weapon is dealing turn damage numbers on in your settings.

[gritty surge]

i assume that the core tech means stuff like the scatter blaster module instead of the upgrades?

[heady pond]

Yeh core tech is just the main weapon/tech itself some of these are always pre installed on the tool/ship itself or require its instalment in order for the player to use it (pulse engine, photon cannon, mining beam, Ect) procedural modules are any modules where their stats are generated based on seed (aka generated once the player installs the module, you buy these from stations or get them as loot) and a blueprint modules is a module the player can install themselves from an unlocked blueprint (either by the anomaly or completion/progression of a mission

[gritty surge]

got it tysmmm!

[south phoenix]

If I find a good Atlantid design is there a way to get another one of a better class?

Found this thing and I'm wanting to grind for one of a higher class

[neat pike]

You can upgrade it

That design does look insane btw

[south phoenix]

Yeah ikr

Just found an A so I might stick with this

[neat pike]

Can you send coords for ts by the way

Also is the white at the back lighting or actual white glow

[south phoenix]

Lighting I think

[neat pike]

Aw

[south phoenix]

Is there a way to grab coords outside of finding the portal?

[neat pike]

I think photomode puts them in the corner

[south phoenix]

Oh ok gotcha

Here we go! Planet was discovered by somebody else so I wouldn't be surprised if this is documented already but it's a great design

Gonna keep exploring the system for an S class

3 star economy so the odds aren't terrible

Wait why arent the glyphs there

Hold on...

Ok this works lmao

[pseudo coral]

I was logging off for the night but this has me logging back in 😅

thanks for sharing!

[fierce stratus]

Search for other monoliths using excocraft radar, each one will be same weapon diff class and sc slots

Found this one on my 5th try same planet, really hoping when I upgrade it that it completes the T

[frozen sequoia]

I was wondering on those stats and how much they change max numbers once packed with tech. i was mainly thinking about a dedicated mining atlantid to maximize output, as the damage once can achieve is so high anyway, i don't feel much of a difference between my sentinel and other weapons. But if that base value is negligible in the grant scheme of things, a single weapon will be easier to handle.

[ocean kayak]

U can just upgrade it to S tier in any space station

[ocean kayak]

How do u find the Monoliths any item that shows em

[heady pond]

Can use an exocraft with its radar to locate monoliths alternatively can also use charts.

Will need to be a monolith in a korvax system in order to get the node that allows the player to get an Atlantid MT

The player will need to have completed the autophage questline “they who returned”

[ocean kayak]

Thanks

[karmic scroll]

Should I keep it?

I'm seeing first time this tool

[lyric oxide]

you get a lot more later

[karmic scroll]

So I should not keep it

[south phoenix]

I did that system wide, best I found was an A class

Not the best slots but I'm working with it

Also other question, is there documentation on every Atantid part?

[fierce stratus]

I personally don't know but would bet yes.

[sturdy frost]

I keep replacing good for better
Upgrades. Max out this thang!

[slate fox]

Forgot to take a before pic, but firerate op. My dmg was 10k. Dropping 2% dmg from 2 sent mods and replacing them with fire rate pumped my dmg 8k

Lol 2 secs later got an sent mod with 3 stats vs 2 so i was able to replace one of the bad ones

[mighty monolith]

Green Crystal S Class White Experimental Rifle - Eissentam Galaxy

[still vigil]

got my first new multitool
after the npc called me pathetic and gave it out of pity for free...

[buoyant root]

Found this bad boy on expedition planet. Randevouz 3 system, planet Yorcan

[keen mango]

found this on rendevouz 3 space station

[spiral moat]

:0

[spiral moat]

🤩

[spiral moat]

question!
I have a Royal and a Sentinel, im using the Sentinel mostly because of damage. My question is if its possible to pack the hi-jacked laser technology from the sentinel one and put it on the Royal. The sentinel one allows you to also install a normal laser module so you get a bonus also for that. If Royal can’t install the hi-jacked, even though it has a better bonus for mining, the sentinel would still get higher maybe? 🤔

[ashen mortar]

I'm pretty sure you can't package the unique mining lasers from the MT's.

[spiral moat]

🥲🥹

[mighty monolith]

Toothed & Boned S Class Blue Alien Pistol - Eissentam Galaxy

[sturdy hull]

Has anyone already documented the S class cabinet on rendezvous 3 ss??

[sturdy hull]

DAMN. This is AWESOME

[mighty monolith]

thanks 🙂

[heady pond]

It is not possible to package this type of tech to be installed on another tool.

[fierce stratus]

Gotta love sharing. Someone found a sentinal pillar with this during expedition and put a base to mark.

[ocean kayak]

Where to get those cool looking one Sentinels all I get when I Google is the shitty red ones 🤣

[fierce stratus]

First system in Beachhead, I marked it for a dino and went back and someone has a base right by the sentinal pillar.

[lyric oxide]

just remember to turn off multiplayer when hunting for multitools or ships

[fierce stratus]

Really, I didn't. Got lucky I guess

Love the sc layout. This will be my second attempt to make a T out of the sc slots.

[ocean kayak]

So in normal mode I find them at Sentinel pillar? Google says at harmonic camp lol

[fierce stratus]

That's for the Atlantid rifle

[neat pike]

Harmonic Camps are for the atlantid rifle/staffs

[ocean kayak]

Yea ik that's why I was confused by the wiki

[neat pike]

Wait tho uhh now that I think of it aren't those atlantid multitools at like ruins

[ocean kayak]

I have that

[neat pike]

Haven't played in a while but ye

[fierce stratus]

Yep, monoliths to be exact.

[ocean kayak]

All I get is pistols at the pillars do I change the whole system or the planet if I get just pistols

Or am I unlucky

Can I spam it on 1 planet

[fierce stratus]

Bought a couple of slots, didn't get a T but an L is the next best thing! 😍 Going to have to invest in this puppy.

[neat pike]

Love how much detail there is on the sphere

And you're right, if you go for an horizontal alignment an L is a W (ironically)

[vague kettle]

What’s the easiest way to get an S rank

[spiral moat]

3 aligned SC 😳

[spiral moat]

ooh is an L

[umbral star]

Whatcha think of this? I don't really use it so I haven't put much into it.

[neat pike]

Design looks dope, SC slots not as much

[umbral star]

Didn't really care about the slots at the time, just wanted a Royal multi-tool.

[loud lance]

I'm about to pull my hair out over this. I think the bases people have set up to 'helpfully' point it out are messing up the Harmonic Interface. It's already disabled when I get there, no matter where I reload, and doesn't allow for unlocking the Multi-Tool, but the Multi-Tool is still locked up. Is there a way of unlocking it that I might not have thought of yet?

[lyric oxide]

turn off multiplayer

if you haven't already

[loud lance]

Did

Even with multiplayer off, game saved in another galaxy, shutting game down entirely and going back there through the portal the bases are still present.

[lyric oxide]

as in the bases are blocking the computer you use to unlock the cabinet?

[loud lance]

No, as in the Harmonic Interface doesn't have an entry for the Multi-Tool cabinet.

[lyric oxide]

weird

[loud lance]

And for the record, yes, done all the autophage quests ages ago.

I'm going there directly; am I supposed to be using an Echo Locator for it to not 'remember' that someone else unlocked it once upon a time?

[lyric oxide]

you could try that and see if it helps at all

[loud lance]

Nope. Sent me to another camp, that was not the right version of the gun (C class, the one visible SC was in the wrong spot). Another Echo Locator from that camp sent me to the RIGHT camp, but the terminal still thinks the cabinet is unlocked when it's not.

[latent cairn]

Anyone know what i really good multi is? Or where to find some decent ones

[open flare]

An s class and well depends you can use a tutorial or look for them in space station or get to a harmonic camp and sentinal one

[latent cairn]

I have an a class now but its not great lol

[open flare]

Upgrade it with nantes if you like it

[latent cairn]

Found one in the sentinel area🙏

[polar charm]

where can I find a good multi-tool?

[ocean kayak]

U found this in normal? If so u have glyphs?

[ocean kayak]

There are multiple options where u can find a good one

[nova fern]

Can anyone help me with the Atlantid multi tools? I’ve been to several alien monoliths and I’ve yet to find the multi tool I want

[slate fox]

Could remove the ps5 from the internet

See if it shows up in offline mode

[loud lance]

I'm not playing on PS5, I'm on Steam.

[slate fox]

Set steam to offline mode

And unplug the ethernet

[nova fern]

Maybe I’m dumb, and I still need to complete other missions first before moving to get an Atlantid multi tool

[slate fox]

The goal is to have discovery off, which means you wotn see player bases or anything at all not even com hubs

[loud lance]

Gonna try the offline mode, at least. On wifi due to house layout so unplugging entirely is somewhat more of a hassle.

[slate fox]

Gl, let us know if it resolves the issue. Just incase someone else runs into it

[loud lance]

Even offline this is what I get:

[umbral star]

What are you asking?

[umbral star]

I don't remember where I found this thing. It was like, a year ago when I actually got it.

[loud lance]

You came into the tail end of the discussion. Basically; the camp appears to be broken. The Harmonic Interface thinks it's already unlocked the Multi-Tool but it hasn't.

[mighty monolith]

Toothed S Class Blue Alien Pistol - Eissentam Galaxy

Plasma Tubed S Class Orange Experimental Rifle - Eissentam Galaxy

[slate fox]

So from some quick googling try warping to a new system then going back

[loud lance]

Done that a few times as well, sadly.

[slate fox]

Issue seems that you had multi-player on going there so some already had claim it intheir instance and its on cooldown

You've also have progress the right missions rightm?

[loud lance]

Yep, as proven by the ability to unlock the cabinet in the nearby camp.

If there's a cooldown I guess I'll just check back periodically.

[slate fox]

Could also be bugged since your game saved while mp was active so it will remain like that for a bit, especially if some had a base to close and glitched it out. Can always report that its bugged out

[loud lance]

I'll give it a few days to test the cooldown idea then report. It's not like I -need- it, it'd just be fun to have.

[upper gale]

I think I have the best multi tool rn

[upper gale]

It does 68748 dmg and 3894 scaner range

[ocean kayak]

Where'd u get it

[upper gale]

Staff from the anomaly

[ocean kayak]

Show it to me

[rigid jay]

I presume scanner range is the scanning pulse?

[normal turret]

anyone wanna play im trying the game in hardcore mode permadeath

my second attempt lol i jsut started lol

[slate fox]

Yes

Also may dictate how far out you see resources and such while scoped in

[night heart]

S class atlantid multitool eissentan galaxy with all slots unlocked

so cords are -26.44 and 118.54

[loud lance]

Cooldown theory holds true, it was just now possible for me to unlock the cabinet as normal.

[rigid jay]

One question about Atlantid tools: is there difference if you try to take multitool from plinth before or after interacting with central monolith?

[echo quest]

hi guys, as of now where can i build and find the best voltaic staff and atlantid multitool?

[karmic scroll]

Guys what is this

[loud lance]

Fishing rod.

[karmic scroll]

I was putting modules and my staff changed to this

[loud lance]

You installed a fishing rig and it's your currently selected 'weapon'.

[karmic scroll]

Ye I always hav rig on every tool but this never happened

Even the named changed

K I went to planet and it changed bk lol

Sorry for bothering

[loud lance]

This is the correct way to use the four supercharged slots, right?

[leaden garden]

Hey all, quick question ...I keep finding info on how some staffs can have runic lense. Not the unique Atlas from expedition. So far, looking at screenshots from coordinate exchage, this seems not to be true.
Which means that if you plan to have one tool for everything, nothing beats sentinel MT. Right?

[devout turtle]

...depends on what youre trying to do

[loud lance]

Give pros nightmares

[devout turtle]

Oh put like only base techs in it but with no adjacency

Actually...

[loud lance]

Four rusted techs with no synergy

[devout turtle]

Analysis visor, combat scope, fishing rod, and... idk the terrain manipulator

[loud lance]

The horror.

[south phoenix]

Just constant crazy Atlantids

[thorny linden]

How you get S MultiTools

[slate fox]

via upgrading with nanites or finding

[thorny linden]

with Nanites are expensive xD

How i finding?

[mint wing]

Luck

5%chance in outlaw systems

2% i 3* systems

1%in 2*

[leaden garden]

Either thru playing and farming, or look for coordinates share thread on reddit. You have to have main story mostly finished.
If you're new, just grab sentinel gun (guides on YT) it's much better then regular ones.

[runic bay]

Hmmm

[thorny linden]

Its this multitools good? im looking for S rank 😄

[neat pike]

It's C-Class with no technology, so for now, it's... kinda garbage
Look for sentinel or atlantid multitools, or a staff
You can also upgrade your multitool's class

[thorny linden]

yup, but 10k nanites are expensive XD

I like more explore and test my luck

[neat pike]

Yeah...

[thorny linden]

But thanks 😄

[neat pike]

That's a good solution yeah

[thorny linden]

I have this one too

but its More expensive udgrade the clash, 50k nanites not cool 😄

[sharp estuary]

Hey all, little help.
I started another save for the expeditions only, I don't wanna finish the main storylines to get access to the staff.
I was thinking, Atlantid is only within a Korvax system but I don't remember if it is behind the main storylines.
The third option is the sentinels rifle, I am pretty sure Murphy's Law will make me find class-c only.
I just wanna replace the boring class-c little gun with something more fun/damage to bring in during expeditions.

Sentinel rifle is very expensive to fix with a fresh save too

[slate fox]

atlantid is content locked yes
sentinels are easy to farm with a few upgrades, i like to fight them at secure buildings alot of cover

[sharp estuary]

Crappy, so sentinel is it. I got pulse spitter upgrades at Anomaly so I can at least take an Echo down.
What sucks is the little spider for the crystallised heart to fix the sentinel rifle, derelict freighter/repair kit is also content locked, I dislike those spider so much haha

oh wait, pirate station sells repair kits, this is the way!!!

[rigid jay]

You need to finish Artemis Path up to and including The Purge, which unlocks Autophage quest.
That unlocks Atlantids and Staffs.

If you're lucky, you can rush the path under an hour.

[sharp estuary]

oh hell nah, I just want something that sucks less during the expeditions, sentinel rifle will do and I enjoyed it, I hoped to get the staff, all good

[leaden garden]

You do not need to fight at all, be further than 150m (iirc) and sentinels won't even detect you when you crash down the thing.
For repairs, cheaper ones do yourself, for harder ones get to pirate systems and buy repair units. Whatever the name is.

[weary crater]

Looking for a camp which paints default or crystal head staff into darker blue&white, blue&yellow, dark purple&white etc. Anyone has coordinates? NMSce not provided a lot of results unfortunately.

[rigid jay]

If you haven't named that tool BFG9000, I'll be sorely disappointed.

[loud lance]

I haven't renamed it yet. I'm thinking of 'Pew Pew Lazorz'.

[loud lance]

Not done improving it yet.

[thorny linden]

Its this good?

[upper gale]

Holy shit

[upper gale]

Whats you're current multitool

[fallow bronze]

Question are you using shotgun set up?

[loud lance]

I'm using Neutron Cannon if that's what you mean.

[fallow bronze]

Ok thanks

[sharp estuary]

I tried that and the multitool does like 5 damage, it is insane each time 🤣
I installed pulse spitter with the upgrade you get from Anomaly and voila, found an inverted mirror and echo together ( that is pretty much my experience on the main save hunting resonator btw)
I got a class-c sentinel riffle, that should do it for future expeditions. I bought the repair kits at pirate stations and voila, fixed everything.
Thanks all.

[loud lance]

Optimizations continue.

[bright osprey]

Goals, holy cow

[pearl marsh]

Don't forget to mark the camp so you can use it to find interceptors. I have a couple to trade in when I find an exotic ship somewhere and I have one as my general use ship too.

[shrewd quarry]

I love this MT so much, had it for a long time

[loud lance]

Yeah, it's pretty cool to see just how you can get it. Doing a run through all the space stations I know to see if I can get some higher techs than what I have. 🙂

[shrewd quarry]

I use it for my pulse spitter. The numbers don't show high but it melts a walker in 4-5 seconds flat

[rigid jay]

I'm using quest reward staff with neutron gun.

[mighty monolith]

White and Orange S Class Experimental Rifle - Eissentam Galaxy

[loud lance]

I am going to wring as much power as travellerly possible out of this gun.

[trim tulip]

That’s a nice nerf gun

[sharp estuary]

I've been farming interceptor since forever lmao and one of my units income 🤣

[pearl marsh]

Yep. They're so nice

[slate fox]

remember that is not the true dmg of said MT, that is a culmilation of our your weapon types and their mods. If you want to get better ball park range for your weapon, you will have to remove all other weap/weap mods

[heady pond]

Damage potential on ships is calculated based on all weapon systems installed, for multitools the damage potential stat is calculated on your strongest weapon installed.

Removing modules wouldn’t provide the player with how much damage their tool is doing, instead turn on damage numbers, this will provide a more accurate way to tell how much damage a weapon is doing per shot comparative to another.

Removing all tech influencing damage potential can be helpful to compare two multitools or two ships against each other.

[maiden isle]

Hey how do I make an A class staff without using nanites

[ocean meadow]

Make purchases free in difficulty setting😛(idk)

[slate fox]

class and color are deteremined per terminal via the head part. just going to have to use a dif terminal till you find one you like

[maiden isle]

Is that a thing?

[ocean meadow]

Yeah

[maiden isle]

And works for everything? That seems too easy

[ocean meadow]

Works for most things, doesn’t work on corvette part trading tho

[ocean meadow]

Any nanite or unit purchase becomes free. I mainly use it to bypass grinding for ship slots

All up to how you want to play

[maiden isle]

Uh yeah I would do that too

[maiden isle]

No I hate grinding nanites

[ocean meadow]

Just don’t forget to put it back to standard😅

[maiden isle]

Yes that makes sense, I use admin to avoid grinding for certain materials on Starbound too

[maiden isle]

Does that work with Void Motes and Quicksilver? I can’t imagine it would

[ocean meadow]

Tbh I haven’t tried

Quicksilver I would imagine not working

[heady pond]

Won’t work for quicksilver, will for anything requiring void motes same with anything requiring tainted metal.

[ocean meadow]

Void motes and tainted metal I’d have to try it

[heady pond]

You can exploit quicksilver purchases tho, any purchase made with quicksilver, is stored on your account not save, not including void eggs, fireworks ect.

You can exploit this by saving then purchasing quicksilver items then reloading your save to get back that QS while those items will be available to claim.

[maiden isle]

Wild, but makes sense

[loud lance]

I'm sorry wut

[slate fox]

for void motes, you can bring your atlantid into expedition, and once your exp is done you can just copy and break it down

my S class i used in exp is only 900 nanites to copy, and breaks down to 2.8k void motes

[maiden isle]

My what

[pearl marsh]

I'm not sure how I feel about the quicksilver thing. Although it does not affect any irl income or anything so...maybe

[slate fox]

Atlantid mt, if you haven't unlocked it yet then dont worry

[maiden isle]

Bet

[subtle lagoon]

Fair warning. The staff you see will not be what others see

The colors will be different

Has been an issue for a while

[heady pond]

Has been since they came into fruition.

HG doesn’t seem give two cents about what stuff looks like in mp.

Staves are teal and mostly larger, and many accent colours or secondary colors on ships, primarily any fabricated ship will be teal.

They have an affinity for teal

[rigid jay]

Breaking Atlantids in Anomaly gives motes?

Also one question about Voltaic Staffs.
When you assemble them, are they always C, or they can be assembled in better class?

[heady pond]

Yes, their class can higher than C, their class chance is determined by system economy, same for ships class.

Stats, slots including SC slots and class will change on different staff head application and cabinet, but the colour won’t change on different staff head like it did prior to relics it does require some playing around.

The guide I attached below details how you can change that colour based on location you stand around the terminal/cabinet.

#nms-multitools message

[maiden lagoon]

Anyone got Upgrade ideas?

[trail forge]

Wild, what configuration did you use to achieve this?

[eternal jacinth]

I don't think you'll need so many weapons on one multitool

[maiden lagoon]

Didnt know which was best and did most dmg so i kinds just threw it all in

[eternal jacinth]

It's a good idea to throw all of them in for testing, but once you find the one that you want to use you can get rid of the rest

[jade plank]

Not sure if this is new but i found black colored staffs never seen these before, anyone?

[rigid jay]

Not yet, but it looks neat.

While we are at staffs, is it better to prioritize class, slots, or color while rerolling?

[jade plank]

I dont know i got enough to do all but i guess class should be thr main focus at least for me

[rigid jay]

I've found spot to roll this (nothing better than B on rest), but It's kinda light on slots.

[weary crater]

If anyone seen dark blue staffs - please let me know.

[rigid jay]

Plus, I'm not fan of color combo.

[trail forge]

Genuinely thank you so much for even showing what stats you choose

While I don't have that SC slot config I'll try to mimic your upgrades

[loud lance]

If you search this channel for a sentinel rifle you'll get linked to it quickly.

[trail forge]

I farmed x class upgrades that are either better or similar to S

[trail forge]

Thanks! Will do that

[loud lance]

#nms-multitools message I knew what to look for.

[trail forge]

I'm eternally grateful, holy cow on a stick

Awesome!!

[rigid jay]

Anyone knows if there is more than one s-class spot around assembly terminal?

[rose idol]

Hello there
Can we have atlantid MT in abandoned mode or still need mod ?

[mighty monolith]

4 black and 3 grey s class atlantid multitools - eissentam galaxy

[fallow hornet]

My main multi tool is the second picture

At least pretty close to it

I want to find a red one but I’m having trouble

[high ferry]

are sentinel multi tools still meta or are there strictly better options

[red helm]

I’m aware of the reset thing

But doesn’t anyone have coords to a purple radiant staff, with black/gray as other color

[heady pond]

There can be, each time you get a new seed at a new location around a synthesis terminal it can be any class with the percentage chance matching the system economy.

[heady pond]

How’s this one?
https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/TSELRdsZlA

Change over the head to the radiant heart, won’t be the same stars, class or layout however the colour will be the same.

Alternatively
https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/5ClnhCujij

[red helm]

Thats really close, like I'd accept it

how do you search these?

[heady pond]

Coordinates exchange, I use the subreddit but they also have a discord.

Discord: https://discord.gg/hdwX59cKD

subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/

Because relics messed up staff generation, when searching player discoveries for staves any staff published by players prior to the relics update it’s highly likely that staff seed is no longer at the terminal.

Safe to assume any find after the 26MAR25 has been found post relics will be at the terminal or as the OP has described.

[red helm]

should this work then?

they posted coords in comments

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/1m53o53/help_me_find_a_purple_and_black_staff_multitool/

[heady pond]

That should work, was only posted in July.

[heady pond]

Colour and looks, it will take up 25% of your screen so hopefully you like it enough to look at.

All other factors are negligible, base stats make no major difference your individual weapon or tool modules make the larger difference, class can be upgraded along with slots, only thing you can’t influence will be SC slots. Can have that as a secondary focus if you want a good layout.

[subtle lagoon]

Yeah it is dumb

[ancient junco]

I finally unlocked the staves. Is there anything to know about parts affecting tier or supercharged layout or are they purely for graphics and rng the rest?

[jolly aurora]

Not gonna lie, if i can have the glowing crystals in blue while the rest is in gray/black.

That would be cool

Let me pick my color for my Multi-tool, pls xD (random rant) xD

[shy acorn]

🙂

[jolly aurora]

heh, finally xD

[fierce stratus]

I've been seeing a fair amount of these experimental pistols lately usually on just one side of the vendor but have yet to see a rifle. Have an A class similar to that in white archived, just to have you know. Not that I would ever actually use it.

Wish the weapon rack actually showed what's archived

[jolly aurora]

Well.....this is first

is there a way i can pushed that damage even further though

[shrewd nymph]

Agreed. I was so disappointed when I installed it the first time.

[pulsar charm]

Is there a way to get one like that but white?

[ancient junco]

Are staff colors determined by where you make them?

[mint wing]

Also from what parts

[devout turtle]

So far it seems like it pulls the same colors, but applies them differently to different parts

[cursive moon]

Roll x class upgrades that have a chance to be better than S

[jolly aurora]

Oh, so i get more than one xD

[cursive moon]

It takes a lot of rolling cause most of the time they will be worse than S but if you get lucky, they make a difference especially in supercharge slots

Some weapons are easier and quicker to roll than others as they have less stats to draw from, 4 for pulse spitter vs 6 I think for boltcaster as an example

[glacial frost]

anyone hass location for blue and white staff location? crystal head

[frank geyser]

Pretty sure you just need a radiant heart and then you can put it together yourself the radiant heart just turns blue

[glacial frost]

okies

[nova temple]

The highest potential damage in vanilla is somewhere around 200k. Using a MT with high base damage, 4 SC slots together and a nutrition cannon with 3 max stats upgrades. Most important is the charging speed value. I have opened hundreds of upgrade modules to find them. But once find 1, you can copy it with the personal refiner glitch. Or copy your MT on a expedition and bring the upgrades back.

But in the end, it's just a displayed number.
A fully upgraded boltcaster has a quarter of that damage potential. However, it kills sentinels more quickly.

[ancient junco]

That's scary, playing around without a super buffed neutron cannon i found it works pretty well. If a bolt Caster works better... wow.

[nova temple]

The same happens for corvette ships with the phase beam. It beats the infra knife accelerator.

[rigid jay]

Atlantid or Staff, what's better investment choice?

[nova temple]

For mining Atlantid and for damage the staff.

[pulsar charm]

Geology or nuetron?

[fierce stratus]

So by now I have thoroughly specialized my multi-tools. First for appearance sake, having gone full General Grievous. The second is when doing salvage containers. Third is mining. Fourth is weapon. However I have questions regarding two of them. The Atlantid doesn't seem to give damage for the mining laser, yet kills on contact it seems and Never needs to be cooled. Is it actually a better weapon than number 4? The other question is even though the damage numbers on 4 are my highest for any of the tech is it the best use of an L sc layout or would the boltcaster or pulse splitter be better used?

[jolly aurora]

THAT'S ALOT OF DAMAGE !!

[loud lance]

Yeah, that's decent.

[astral sluice]

What is the best multitool overall?

[nova temple]

It doesn't really matter. Choose one that looks cool. Because every MT works. Only if you want to specialising your MT, you have to watch to the class bonuses.
I prefer the staff. It has well class bonuses for damage and scanning. But the mining bonus is lower than atlantid.
Here the class bonuses:

[ancient junco]

I finally pulled an atlantid and specialized it for mining. It's absolutely ridiculous that it's like 5x faster than what I was using and I refill it so rarely I'm surprised when it runs out

The Scan bonus is for scan range, not bonus units for scanning flora fauna or minerals. So honestly you can probably ignore that.

[nova temple]

I think you could optimise that a bit more. I don't quite understand what you want to do with the ‘Zehbys chrono analyser’. Can't you open the salvage containers with the Atlantis MT? You have the scanner upgrades on the scattered SC slots. But royals and experimental MTs have better class bonuses for scanning.
I would suggest the following:
For weapons, a staff or a sentinel MT.
For scanning, a royal or experimental MT, and for mining, the
atlantid MT.
I think the Atlantid MT is less suitable as a weapon than a staff. But you can try it out.
With an SC-L layout, I would probably use the Boltcaster. The Boltcaster has more upgrades, which allows you to take better advantage of the adjacency bonuses.

[nova temple]

That's true. And it's the reason why i using mostly the staff and the atlantid for just for mining.

[fierce stratus]

The Chrono is mostly for the range on the scanner. I don't have to move as often to find containers at 2.5k ou. True the Atlantid melts the containers and anything else. Still waiting for a royal or experimental.

I'll try swapping in the boltcaster for a few freighters.
Thanks for the feedback.

[nova temple]

Äm... The fourth mt is a royal.

[fierce stratus]

Ah, thought it was a sentinal

Got it from a sentinal tower

[nova temple]

Yess! You can found royals only on sentinel towers. And sentinel mt's from harmonic camps.

[normal sage]

My multitool and its not even its final form 🫡

[hushed palm]

Found this today anyone know what the no one means

No Glyphs on it

[fierce stratus]

Question, the numbers in the grid do they represent the bonus value for the sc slots?

[nova temple]

Yes! That is the class bonus in %. The damage bonus increases the damage of weapons. The mining bonus increases the speed at which resources are mined. The scan bonus increases the radius of the area covered by the scanner's quick scan mode.

[fierce stratus]

Based on your advice I swapped around the tech on the royal and a just acquired staff thus, although much work on the staff needed. Not even any quality suspicious tech on scanner. I figure I can probably get another 25% range if I'm lucky at an outlaw station.

[nova temple]

I could understand it, thick accent, I’m sure they’re sorry for their native language.

And they literally ask you to screen shot the glyphs for the planet.

I like his accent 😅
This is so good! Galaxy is Euclid.

[fierce stratus]

I think I can work with a line of 4 with a gap in the middle, maybe not the best but I can move on to something else. Don't mind the colour scheme, after all black and yellow is one of nature's warning signs.

Gooey Screamer + 6129% Fauna Analysis Rewards 10:00
Mucal Curiosity + 6160% Fauna Analysis Rewards 10:00
Soft Custard Fancy + 6355% Fauna Analysis Rewards 10:00

There are variants for rocks and plants too

[verbal bison]

It's not that easy. Every weapon type has a thing they have a high bonus for. Though rifles and pistols aren't the very best at anything, rifles improve damage more and pistols improve scanning and mining more.

[subtle lagoon]

But what is the main weapon you use and how much damage dose it do.. for the number you are showing just shows you threw a ton of things on it.

[normal sage]

Nah just 4 super slots with the right technology! And the mods are not even the strongest one out there ill show ya in a lil while im eating dinner 😆

[crude crag]

Have you tried switching between the weapon modes? Maybe it’s an ammo counter?

[sacred thunder]

Think I have that one as an S class but havent done anything with it because I like the rifle I am using

[fierce stratus]

Question and maybe system for quality S class mt. Last 2 multitools I have upgraded, A to S, both behaved the same when adding slots, first slots added ended up sc slots. Sample rate is too small to verify behavior. Is this consistent? If so wouldn't it be quicker to find a C class with open spots next to the existing sc upgrade straight to S, then add slots next to existing sc?

I am too nanite poor to test myself

[scenic arrow]

Very much a work in progress. Keep getting side tracked >_<

[fierce stratus]

My work in progress, got it out to 5.8k this morning with a couple of suspicious tech. One more to go.

[cosmic iron]

got it at the second rendezvous space station

[hushed palm]

What's glyphs

Awesome pics but see alot of cool stuff no Glyphs for others to find them or if on planet share cords also be helpful

[mighty monolith]

crystal experimental rifle - eissentam galaxy

[hushed palm]

Cool awesome find

[pale wraith]

I just got this one and haven't even upgraded it, should I exchange?

[slate fox]

the potential dmg is higher on yours due to it counting your pulsesplitter and bolter, they would be the same stats if all mods were removed. So its more of SC placement at this point. I see your current one having better potential as you can encircle your sc slots. the one on the shelf has two sc on the side, limiting your adj potential with it

[pale wraith]

I see

[nimble swift]

anyone have a camp for purple and black staffs?

[clever sonnet]

i think my luck suck for this
the last 2 superchargeslot is at the bottom
is it worth it putting modules in superslot or keeping the adjacient bonus?

[fallow bronze]

Use the super charge slots bc the bonus is greater then then the adjacent bonus

[slate fox]

and you still have 2 additonal rows of slots you can open up

[fierce stratus]

I'm going to try answering my own question above. Got this experimental rifle just now as a C class. I've upgraded to A without adding any slots. One more upgrade, probably after next expedition, and then I will try adding first four slots at the end in a T format. If all goes well first four will be sc slots.

Nevermind, just answered my question. Was luck first couple of times.

Well it's only nanites

[fierce stratus]

On a more positive note Scan It, my Royal, is now primarily completed from a scanning perspective. Full stats are,
Flora: 37495
Fauna: 25945
Minerals: 34136
Scan radius: 6330

Some minor improvements may occur but no longer chasing suspicious tech just for.

[hushed palm]

Is there 2 type of Ruinic tools in each system

Have run across one that has 2 different options if miss first one times out and changes to something else

[tepid rapids]

I found this multitool by total accident on my first ever sentinel walker kill at the pillar it led me to had this at rank A I just upgraded it to S

Is that unusual

In that color too which id only prefer less than blue gold

[tired zenith]

What is the S and the A rank tech?

[fierce stratus]

As it was explained to me yesterday, scroll up for a pic of all bonuses per type, this is a Royal mt and it's sc slots give 100% for scanning.

It's my goto now, get out and scan

[ashen violet]

The S one is a tool you get from completing They Who Returned. The A upgrade kind of looks like just a normal scanner upgrade, but I could be wrong.

[tired zenith]

That defintely not a A upgrade. @fierce stratus also has it in his royal MT

But thank you for pointing out the S upgrade

[tepid rapids]

I know about all that but im curious how rare a royal type multitool actually is

I would've not even taken it if I didn't like the color since I didn't know what it was and I assumed my very first walker kill wouldn't lead to something so rare

I was working on upgrading an A class sentinel multitool I found not realizing the royal is mostly better for what I want (I have a twitch reward alien MT for combat)

Apparently even finding a sentinel pillar is hard let alone a royal multitool

And I already used a blue and black color scheme for my outfit

[fierce stratus]

Not sure about the rarity of the Royals, personally only done a few sentinal pillar. Got this one after I went back to the Beachhead starting system to get a dino and there was a labeled base Class S Sentinal Pillar

[nimble swift]

how do i roll for better colors for a staff multi tool?

[nimble swift]

if anyone has cords for a purple and black havoc staff with radiant core please PLEASE ping me and lmk 🙏

[shrewd nymph]

Can you find atlantid tools higher than C class? So far 5/5 I have found are all C

[hearty forum]

Is there like an actual method to getting a good multitool, or do you just have to get lucky and find a good one on a space station?

[ashen violet]

That other scanner thing is a Scan Harmonizer, also gained from They Who Returned.

Sorry about the late reply. I had forgotten you obtained that from that quest, and just watched my father obtain it on his own save file.

[nimble swift]

FINALLY

[unborn creek]

I like the look of thos one

[gritty anvil]

i got a question what are the best things to install into a multitool?

[glacial python]

I fuuuuucked myself yesterday and traded for a multi tool that didn't have the ability to terrain manipulation. What the best/easiest way to go about getting that on my new multi tool?

[unborn creek]

My opinions (others may differ) . Initially you need the mining beam scanner terrain manipulator and any weapon. Mostly you get all these with any new weapon. After that I like the scatter blaster as my weapon with as many upgrades as you can get. Beef up the scanner with the advanced scanner module ( so you can detect gas/mineral hotspots etc.) You will need the fishing rig at some point but no rush. If you are short of cash, some scanner mods increase the credits you get for scanning animals/flora and rocks. There is an updgrade that makes you invisible for a few seconds if you are fighting a lot but I find this a bit of a distraction (its called "cloaking device").

[remote glacier]

can ||autophage staves|| be class-upgraded at the multitool upgrade vendor in space stations?

How do you get the staffs ?

[nimble swift]

finish the autophage story i think

[weak jolt]

Is it random or can you go straight to them

[nimble swift]

wdym

[weak jolt]

How do I get the autophage story

[nimble swift]

finish the main story

ask someone other than me bec my memory is shit 😭

[late zinc]

Need to complete the main story.
"Normally" at this point you would also need a settlement but somehow a related side quest would pop up, that one should chain or at least open up autophage.

[rigid jay]

First you need to finish Artemis Path, up to and including The Purge (allegadly you can skip new beginnings but I haven't found out how). Then you'll get random event when ship gets infected by something full of Greek letters.
As part of quest you'll get basic staff and Autophage detector.
After questline you can just search for them, do quests for void motes and exchange motes at terminals for staff parts and build them there.
I also recommend checking how to reroll staves.

[weak jolt]

Perfect thank you now I know what to focus

[pearl marsh]

Don't you have to finish atlas path too? Or is that for a different quest

[south phoenix]

I think you do

I didn't get the quest till I finished both

[remote glacier]

you do have to finish both Atlas and Artemis paths, but I don't think you need a settlement any more

[south phoenix]

You dont

I have Autophages done and I've never made a settlement

Need more than lifting the seal to a harmonic camp to start the autophage questline

Echo locators locate harmonic camps, once you lift the seal (gain access to the terminal by completing the small puzzle) all you have left to do is the Artemis questline

[weak jolt]

Looks like I’m grinding that quest line tomorrow

I’m barley on the triangulate position part

Ah. Sorry.

[delicate ore]

So like, am I just building my weapon wrong or something? I got the Pillar of Titan staff from the expedition and it just feels far weaker than my atlantid multi tool.

Which is a shame because it's the first expedition multi tool I've gotten

I don't really know a whole lot about what upgrades are better than what or what gun is better, ect. I just move things around till it does what I need it to

oh so these dont take me to the calypso galaxy?

first time doing a portal

[mighty monolith]

Nope , u need to be in whatever galaxy the thing u are trying to get to is first , then find a portal and dial the glyphs

[coral vault]

Oh god LOL thats embarrasing so first i need to find out how in the world to get there LOL

[mighty monolith]

A few ways u can end up there, wont spoil it though for you

[coral vault]

Damn this mai nstory must be huge in like 100 hours in and keep spammin these atlas paths LOL

[mighty monolith]

If u jump thru the core of Euclid and the the next galaxy u will be in calypso

[prisma creek]

just be sure to use a random class C ship or if you have retained it Radiant Pillar

The funny is S classing Radiant Pillar and making it have full slots

[lavish radish]

Do you lose your ship moving galaxies? lol

[heady pond]

Spoilers for players that are yet to reach the core.

||No, after a core warp tech installed on your exosuit and current active ship and multitool will be damaged meaning you need to individually repair each tech item.

In terms of mitigating the most tech the player would need to repair It is irrelevant of what ship/tool type and class is used but what is installed on them plus quantity.

Generally it’s best advised you have a “scrap” tool and ship equipped that has minimal tech or one you just don’t really care about that can be used for core warping.

Alternatively you can just package your installed tech and reinstall after the core warp to avoid it being broken.||

[prisma creek]

No it just kind of breaks and upgrades and tech needs to be repaired

smame with multitool and equipping exosuit upgrades

In other news. I got my alien multitool I think pretty much where I want it. i’ll share screenshots later

[pale wraith]

can i just upgrade an A tier staff to S tier easily

Anyone here has any Atlas staff build ?
also... is it worth using it for mining purposes as well ? i know its one of the best for dps..

Fair warning. The color of the staff is not seen by anyone other than yourself

[molten spire]

i must say this staff system is peak ragebait

[crimson hamlet]

is this good?

could it get more powerfull ?

[viscid musk]

Definitely good

[crimson hamlet]

what sould I do more?

[viscid musk]

I'm pretty new but afaik since it's s-class you're just gonna add slots and that's it

[crimson hamlet]

ok I got it to 18k dmg

[crimson hamlet]

What’s the best way to find an S Class Sentinel Multitool? I don’t want to use a portal, just hunt for it myself.

[delicate ore]

So like, where are the op multi tool upgrades? Is praying to RNGesus at different stations really the only way to get good modules?

[rigid jay]

In the beginning it's whatever fits, in lategame, favorite choices are Atlantid for mining, staff/sentinel for damage and royal/experimental for scanning.

I personally have Atlantid and staff, because I don't care about scanpulse range that much.

[eternal jacinth]

Staffs are end game thing

[shrewd cosmos]

can anyone find me a multitool that looks similar to this guy

[devout turtle]

Closest youre gonna get are the alien type multitools

They dont have eyes

[shrewd cosmos]

can u get me one with a similar shape and colors

[abstract grotto]

i believe you can, as in an "alien" multi-tool that's green with hot pink crystals

yeah this is the site i went to but when i tried to paste the code in, it changed in the input box to another number lol

oh im dumb i had the KILOO part in

[lavish radish]

ah the gold version

[pulsar charm]

Yes

[orchid lotus]

If by exotic, you mean royal (a specific type of multitool), then they're only at sentinel pillars

If by exotic, you mean S-class in general, then outlaw systems have the highest S-class chance at 5%. You can also follow coords from other people or class upgrade a tool with nanites

Here, I hope this doesn’t count as spam, sorry if it is I’m new

[lavish radish]

[glad mirage]

Ah, a Royal multitool. You found this by defeating a sentinel pillar, I assume

They have above average stats all around but are best at scanning

[heady pond]

Their stat bonus is comparable to experimental

[lost garnet]

There guides of what to upgrade first for multi tools? First time player here

[gloomy lichen]

Mining beam is typically the first thing

[whole peak]

Id grab s tier scan upgrades from vendors if you scan a lot, hunt for 4 stat rolls. Mining is borderline pointless past early earlygame, terrain manipulator does the biggest work and doesnt have mods

[lost garnet]

What about weapons to get nanites early on to get mining and others?

[whole peak]

if you hunt sentinels, you can get sentinel mods that sell for a lot of nanites. But youd have to be comfotable with combat for that

[lost garnet]

I started the game today so no idea what's priority or what to focus on first.

[whole peak]

just follow the main quest a bit, it unlocks a lot of free techs and tools

its a good idea to test the weapon options in your multitool to figure out what you like, then you can get the mods for that specific one

but you might not have other than the boltcaster yet so dont worry bout it

[quick tree]

does anyone have a portal to the 4 turbo s class mt

Hey guys, I'm new to the game. I'm rather confused about information I find on the wiki vs what I see in-game.

For multi-tools I see the class bonuses for mining, damage, and scan displayed on the wiki. How do I see in-game what real stats my multi-tool has? I'm assuming it's a roll that lands within a range, and I'd like to know how I can see that.

[mint wing]

Cant see real stats without save editor

That looks like you've only got half the tech slots open. You can have up to 60 slots

All s class multitools can have a maximum of 60 slots

[dry saddle]

does anyone know how to get different staff parts

[heady pond]

You can purchase staff components from autophage terminals in autophage camps for void motes.

[tough hill]

Note that different terminals offer different parts, so not everything is available from every terminal

We need more parts 🙃

[dry saddle]

would you happen to know where I can get an s class staff with these parts

[heady pond]

I would suggest checking out the coordinates exchange on both Reddit and discord, use the search function to find specific tools with these parts, Because relics messed up staff generation, when searching player discoveries for staves any staff published by players prior to the relics update it’s highly likely that staff seed is no longer at the terminal.

Safe to assume any find after the 26MAR25 has been found post relics will be at the terminal or as the OP has described.

Alternatively I attached a guide a while ago detailing how the current staff seeding works and how to abuse this. Can try that.

[lost garnet]

For multi tools is it like for example you have like a staff for damage then something else best for mining?

[blissful delta]

Staff is for damage yes

Along with alien and sentinel and rifle

Atlantid and pistol do mining

[slow bronze]

whats the best multitool to get? for like harvesting and damage wise

[radiant aspen]

the stats each multitool type has is in the pins
Sentinel and Staffs have best damage
Atlantid has best mining
Experimental and Royal has best Scanner

[tawdry siren]

Hence why most vets specialize with multitools

[vocal warren]

What is the best multitool for harvesting large amounts of minerals? I need a lot of ferrite dust for base parts and I’m trying to do it as fast as possible.

[flat birch]

somone have a op file for a multi tool

[dry lichen]

Don't post the same message in short time across multiple channels, you will end up auto muted for spam, thanks 🙂

[fallow bronze]

What is the best multi tool you guys own ( Im asking for damage potential)

[mint wing]

Sentinel mt

[flat birch]

somone can make me one or find me a seed for a xmas staff

[glad mirage]

Is having a neutron cannon and a blaze javelin on the same tool a bit overkill, or do they have some synergy?

I couldn’t help but notice neither of them run off of solid ammo, only hydrocarbons

Is using those in a prolonged fight going to get me in trouble

[neat pike]

Neutron Cannon is my go-to for fighting since you can go spamming shotgun-style or charge shots (which is rly fast with good technology)

Honestly depends on wyw, but I usually only use neutron cannon and sometimes a bit of boltcaster/pulse spitter, and ofc terrain manip, mining beam and fishing rig

[glad mirage]

I was asking because stopping to top up fuel takes longer than reloading ammo

How often am I reloading these?

[neat pike]

I dunno if it's my technology, but I rarely reload

Like maybe twice max in a 5-wave sentinel fight (tho I often use my minotaur for some parts of the battle)

But yeah you'll be reloading a boltcaster or pulse spitter way more often than a blaze jav or neutron cannon

From experience at least

[glad mirage]

They seem to kill fauna quickly enough, but most animals are made of Doritos so it doesn’t tell me much

[neat pike]

I usually 1 or 2 shot sentinel drones with charged neutron cannon shots

[glad mirage]

Excellent

[neat pike]

And as I said with the right upgrades you can charge it fairly quick

[glad mirage]

And the blaze javelin’s special upgrade adds a stun, of course

[neat pike]

Rarely use blaze javelin, not as versatile as neutron cannon

[glad mirage]

it's a super long range weapon for softening up the beginning of a wave, right?

[neat pike]

Pmuch, or if you want to stay away from a big enemy (example, walker) while hitting big shots

[heady pond]

Atlas sceptre is a reward for completing expedition 12, a player cannot trade you this or give any parts to construct it.

By referring to a seed I assume you may be using a save editor, if using goatfungus you can simply change your tool type to that of the atlas sceptre. Alternatively I can see if I can find the tools ID.

[glad mirage]

Currently using a Sentinel style multitool, those are supposed to be “balanced” right

[blissful delta]

Yes

Good stats for most stuff but damage first

[dry saddle]

I tried doing that and it kept giving me c class staffs

it also kept giving me dogshit ass supercharged configs

[heady pond]

That’s purely proc gen would be the same regardless of what you do, try higher tier economy systems.

When locating finds on the coords exchange the player finds will be there in the class found, but as stated look for posts after the 26 March

Also like to point out that Upgraded to S the base damage is 433 vs 483 for natural S, this difference is minimal in the grand scheme of things.

[peak plinth]

S Class black and red Atlantid! I found this on the Steam Deck so I just couldn’t get a screenshot of the coordinates (conflicting buttons) but there’s a communication station at the specific monolith. I chose the second option!
(Also, bonus, but there’s a B Class black and red interceptor about 500u or less away, further inland!)

[glad mirage]

Anyone ever seen a bug with sentinel multitools where the model changes between a 1 hander and a 2 hander?

[echo cipher]

I just found this A class Rifle Multitool in Euclid, System: Gobialin at the space station that has a near perfect X class Scanning module for about 4.6 million Units. Portal to System, you'll landed on Atom 46/H2, do not reload and just go to the space station.

[echo cipher]

Multitool can change in cabinets at space stations or Harmonic camps depending upon where you spawn in or reload your save file

[glad mirage]

Okay and then it changed back

[echo cipher]

at the same camp?

[glad mirage]

After a quit and reload

It was the same stats but the model swapped

[echo cipher]

well that's why when you reload it changes; if it had a style or class you wanted then you'd have to turn off multiplayer, mark that spot with a save beacon, Fly to a different planet in that system, reload and fly back to that save beacon/spot without reloading to see what spawns in that cabinet.

Each planet in that system including the Space station can change that style of MT in a cabinet

This video explains some of the deeper MT hunting mechanics pretty well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACmxBk0npfA

[tawdry siren]

just dont get one from a outlaw system, unless its a sentinel MT., as outlaw MTs have BAD stats

[slow bronze]

Damn that looks cool

[mighty monolith]

Thanks

[glad mirage]

Even an S rank outlaw multitool?

[tawdry siren]

Yes, only ones i believe that dont take a hit from stats are sentinel

Each multitool type has a range where the stats can fall, in outlaw space, they tend to be the bottom end of the range.

For example s class alien damage is 25 to 35, in outlaw space it will tend to be near the 25.

[glad mirage]

Does scrapping a higher tier multitool have a higher chance of better drops from it?

[tough hill]

For Atlantid tools, you do get more Void Motes from them, not sure about the other tools, never paid any attention

[rapid radish]

finally got my staff

[glad mirage]

Oh, limited edition

[graceful urchin]

Q: I seem not be able to scan some minerals and flora with my Pilar of Titan, no idea why, it was working fine but after doing Relics and got this other staff, i am not sure if that is the reason why it fails so many times to scan minerals or flora, not even sure if fauna works... I got these modules installed, i packaged 2 to make sure they are not effecting the main one, i put the main one [quantum prediction] in the supercharged slot, it increase the rewards of course, but still not able to scan, it does work sporadic, so i wonder is there anything else involved like a timer or so, still a complete newbee in this game and using the Xbox Series X.

[prisma creek]

I have a blue green alien pistol with teeth at the front.

I got it in my starting system but I don’t remember the settlement

[mighty monolith]

Yeah i like the teethed ones

[tough hill]

I don't see any reason why your scan would fail, apart from maybe that the aiming system in this game can be a bit wonky at times, I suggest that whenever you are trying to scan something through the visor, the description of the item you are looking at should be populated by question marks, not by information of the thing you are looking at, because the latter means you have already scanned that type of mineral/fauna/flora and cannot scan it again

[pulsar charm]

is this a good multi tool

like to use long term and to max out

[tough hill]

If the last spot on the row below your x rank blaze javelin upgrade is a super charged slot, it's fairly decent
