nms-multitools

[cedar fossil]

i dont always run both but when i do

[ivory parcel]

Aw man some vr nms sounds epic

[sweet spoke]

@mighty monolith sorry for the ping but do you know the coordinates to find the multi toll in the measage attached

[mighty monolith]

Yup, its in this YT short

https://youtube.com/shorts/eiTba0n5RLk?si=G1zmrbhAJXX_AMaW

[sweet spoke]

thanks

[cyan shard]

I wasn't expecting the staff to be so small

i like the colors tho

[snow citrus]

this is puny compared to mine, but should i salvige the module?

idk what to do..

im thinking of turning it down

or declining

[sharp pawn]

it kinda depends on ur own multi tool there pistols like the 1 ur using have less dmg then multi tool rifles like the A class there its that and its SC are pretty close so you might get more dmg outta it

[snow citrus]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ill buy it

mabey

[sharp pawn]

how Close or how far are the SC on the pistol there

[snow citrus]

whats the SC

[sharp pawn]

try comparing em again when u have removed all tech from it SC is Supercharged

[snow citrus]

okay

[sharp pawn]

Dont delete just uninstall the mods then compare easier to see the raw stats that way. wouldent wanna delte it by mistake XD

[snow citrus]

hmmm

give me a moment

[sharp pawn]

this 1 of the multi tools i found its SC are rly nice

[snow citrus]

the rifle won, but my main is still probably gonna be my main

how to get?

[sharp pawn]

do you know how to make multi tool staffs?

[snow citrus]

make? no, the only one i saw was the one from expidtion 18

[sharp pawn]

ahh there is a video on youtube that explains it in detail i suggest you watch it :3 otherwise u wont be able to make the staffs

[snow citrus]

okay

[sharp pawn]

staff like that 1 up there are made by combining parts and for em they can have diff looks and styles the only part that matters for its stats is the staff head piece the rest is cosmetic

like this 1

[snow citrus]

where to make

[sharp pawn]

they are made a terminal camps by the xenophage

or whatever they are called

its a robot race completing their quests unlocks the staff

and the ability to reveal their camp sites

[snow citrus]

the korvax?

[sharp pawn]

nope nope

[snow citrus]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[sharp pawn]

Autophage

that was the name

[snow citrus]

ooooohh

[sharp pawn]

them u gotta complet their quest line

[snow citrus]

ill look for them

thx

[sharp pawn]

nw for the staff up above tag me or dm me later once you are able 2 make the staff's i'll help you get that 1 😄 ofc the crystal 1

[snow citrus]

okay

r u playing?

[sharp pawn]

atm no im not on im waiting for my food in the oven to finsih

finish*

[snow citrus]

ok

[sharp pawn]

im planing on getting on laters to continue my search for the best crafted solar ship location :3

[snow citrus]

oooh

[sharp pawn]

i got parts i rly wanna use for a in cross sorta styled Supercharged

[snow citrus]

oooh

[sharp pawn]

kinda like this staff

[snow citrus]

oooh

[sharp pawn]

atm with the solar not much luck but i have got some close attempts with it 😄 i think if i search in the area where they were close to being in the same shape as my staff here i willd get it :3

[snow citrus]

i could try and help

idk what i would do but..

[sharp pawn]

are you new to no man's Sky?

just wondering no real reason

[snow citrus]

nope!

[sharp pawn]

ahh i see :3

[snow citrus]

i have been playing for like,4 years!

[sharp pawn]

thats a long time 😄

[snow citrus]

yeah

[sharp pawn]

i respect that

[snow citrus]

thx

[sharp pawn]

i was mostly wondering since you did not know how to make the multitool staffs

which there is no harm in knowing :3

[snow citrus]

yeah, i dont explore much, i like combat and making bases

[sharp pawn]

fair fair

for combat i would say for ur multi tool the bests 1s for that are the staff's or the sentinel Rifles

[snow citrus]

oohh

[sharp pawn]

like you see with my staff up there it hits very hard XD

[snow citrus]

XD

[sharp pawn]

sentinel multi tools can also get double mining lazer beam

:3

[snow citrus]

oooooohh

[sharp pawn]

and the atlantid tools as well like this 1

[snow citrus]

personaly i like to use my minotar for combat, but if i HAVE TO use my multi-tool im fine

[sharp pawn]

and yes it does affect the mining speed and overheat

[snow citrus]

ooohh

ooh?

[sharp pawn]

currently the best multi tools for mining are the atlantid the best for combat are the staff's and sentinel rifles the best for scanning are the experimental idk how it all works but its currently wats the most used

[snow citrus]

oh

[sharp pawn]

im just following the flow i love the staff's alot and use very often

they are also showed when you walk around

[snow citrus]

i have never switched from my pistol

[sharp pawn]

you can see it in third person if u walk around with the staff others can see it without you having to pull it outta the infinite pocket aka outta nowhere cus yea

which you might have noticed when you went to the anomaly

[snow citrus]

yeah that backpack is filled with tech and stuff that keeps you alive, HOW CAN YOU PUT STUFF IN IT yeah

@ me if you want my attentoin

[sharp pawn]

if you like ur pew pew's there is a sentinel pistol as well :3

[snow citrus]

oh

[sharp pawn]

you get em the same way with the sentinel Rifle and it can also have double mining beam

[snow citrus]

oh

yay

if i get it

[sharp pawn]

do you have a sentinel starship?

[snow citrus]

no i have a corvette

[sharp pawn]

fair Fair you can find sentinel starships and tools on the dissonant planet

[snow citrus]

oh

[sharp pawn]

the tools are found in harmonic camps

i have a base Right next 2 a harmonic camp

i think on that planet the sentinel ship color scheme is white and black if i m not wrong

if i remember Right

[snow citrus]

i had one, but it was in a diffrent steam acount

[sharp pawn]

i wouldent mind hopping on now and letting you join on me at that base so u can have a look around

[snow citrus]

you can see mine too

if so, meet me at the anomaly

@ me for my attenton

[snow citrus]

[sharp pawn]

geee which hellogames would fix the multiplayer in this game its kinda scuffy

[round swan]

Those slots tho. Definitely still a keeper despite what I was saying lol

I'd keep pretty much any I find if they have that arrangement

Looks good without the circles tho

[mighty monolith]

I hunted some recently that took ages to find the s class and had a terrible slot layout. These days when I find stuff I more or less say here it is, grab it if u want or go find one with slots you prefer

[round swan]

Folks can always hunt another monolith if they aren't satisfied. Great work! 👍🏻

[mighty monolith]

Exactly

Grab a C class and unlock it , see what it looks like. I aint got time to check them all

[round swan]

Haha seriously. I do want to start cataloging some myself, but trying to figure out how to show all the styles for each system. I'm not good at photo editing lol

[mighty monolith]

Neither am I, hehe

[sharp badge]

Hello 🙂

Does anyone know whether a multitool location from around September last year would still exist now?

Apologies if this is a noob question, have only recently picked NMS up again after a long hiatus

[stuck glacier]

I think it should yes

[sharp badge]

Awesome, thanks!

[stuck glacier]

Hey man, did it end up working for you?

[sharp badge]

haven't had a chance to have a go at it today unfortunately, should be able to tomorrow though

will update you!

[stuck glacier]

Good luck mate!

[sharp pawn]

Luck is Evil as it gives you only for the Cruel twist of fate giving you a terrible Rng roll ingame NOOOoo

[stuck glacier]

NOOOOOO

[sharp pawn]

XD lol

the god you need to pray to well atleast in no man's Sky Rng of update god

as the updates will for whatever reason randomly change layout of staffs weeee

[sullen scarab]

I want that white one :o

I didn't even know coordinates were a thing in the game

Oh nvm thats another galaxy i dont think i can jump galaxies yet haha

[mighty monolith]

Go to the anomaly, featured bases list , one called last egg from the first dragon is in eissentam. Teleport ro it , and u are in eissentam galaxy . U can then go portal to the multitool

[cedar fossil]

whatever this thing is\

[cedar fossil]

i cant even get other staffs yet, i'm stil stuck with the atlas staff which mind you is still quite cool

[noble remnant]

if anyone wants one of these, atlantid s class, two sc slots not adjacent [planet Weyor/Pirate Controlled]

[noble remnant]

two smol s class pistols side by side at the space station, one has great 3 adjacent slots setup, that could be one powerful pistol

[noble remnant]

can someone explain how this is possible? with X module I get less damage potential than with S module that have better stats? and no matter how I reposition them I always get the same result as long as they all in a cube cluster, so the 3 S modules will give me 12.8k while 2 S and 1 X will give me 13.6k, all of the S modules have better stats across the board (except that one module that has less fire rate) but result in less damage overall?

[round swan]

Because cooldown and reload time don't factor into damage mathematically.

[noble remnant]

but the S module has +2% damage while the X only 1%

isn't damage the main stat to calculate total damage?

[round swan]

Not when it fires 7% faster apparently. 7% > 1%

[noble remnant]

hmm, I was thinking that damage potential meant what's the most damage it can make in one shot not over time, but I will keep this in mind and will look for a better s module like the two other ones which are way stronger

[viscid jackal]

Ho-ly

I'm def getting this one

[pallid ivy]

I went and got it myself. It's pretty nice.

[slate garden]

Just found 1 exactly like it

[violet quest]

can i get one

[violet quest]

are you still near this or nah

[noble remnant]

nope but you have the glyphs bottom left first screenshot and the coordinates top right second one

[violet quest]

ah i guess ill do it after i get glyphs figured out

[snow citrus]

im thinking of making this one dedicated for combat

[sullen scarab]

not a crazy tool but it's a cool neon punk desing maybe someone will enjoy it (in space station)

[dusk aurora]

This look like a dyson

[upper skiff]

How does 1 obtain a staff?

[dusk aurora]

Idk, but it is very bad for a s tier

[upper skiff]

Staffs in general?

[dusk aurora]

Not very spacious btw

[upper skiff]

Alr look cool tho so I want 1

[wispy solar]

The portal tell me that the coordinate are corrupted zgfqerg

[sullen scarab]

I got someone to taxi me and the weapon is different is that normal?

[sharp badge]

😁

[stuck glacier]

Hell yeah dude! Happy to see it

[sharp badge]

Cheers!!!

followed this video if anyone's interested
https://www.tiktok.com/@daveukyt/video/7545938121389608214

[noble remnant]

welp, I went back to that planet and found a portal just to make sure, then found the coordinates and put a message box there just in case, so not sure why they are corrupted but these are the glyphs

are you in euclid?

[mighty monolith]

did u follow the instructions and reload on the other planet ?

[round swan]

It's likely just a purple system. You need to progress through the main quests to unlock them or that will happen.

[noble remnant]

yep you are correct, it's purple so atlantid drive is required

[sullen scarab]

Ah, so thats where I fucked up. Good news is the weapon that was offered was sweet anyway so I got that one

I'm guessing there are no more weapons there if I already bought it right?

[mighty monolith]

Nope, once u empty the cabinet its done

@sullen scarab i can't remember which one u were after but if its the white and black experiemtnal rifle i got more than one on the you tube channel. They are so common i only hunt them now if thee is another decent tool that spawns with it . You could grab one of them instead

[round swan]

I believe they refresh eventually... 🤔 That takes too long and the amount of time necessary is often too inconsistent to be a practical farming method though.

Think it's something like 3 days, but you have to actually be logged in for that time to count. Haven't actually tested it myself, that's just the answer Google gave me a while back when I asked.

[mighty monolith]

i have heard varying times, but also know , there are ones we found literally years ago that never did refresh

[round swan]

Oh, dang. o.o Guess I'll be more careful about which ones I pick up from now on lol

[sullen scarab]

Thank you! Yea I mostly only wanted a white one so it matches my character style but I was lucky that the one that spawned for me was white anyways! (and S rank)

[rotund salmon]

Anyone know the best mining multi tool?

[mint wing]

Any mt will do fine for any role. Mt type maters if u want to minmax.

[karmic elbow]

Best for mining is Atlantid.

Best for scanning is Royal and Experimental, but those only affects scanning range.

Best for damage is sentinel and voltaic staff.

[rotund salmon]

Got a Atlantid follows a yt video got the Same one but not the same stats

Got 300+ this guys got 2k I don’t get it followed every steps but got the low damage 😒

[pastel basin]

how u get the staff multitool

[mint wing]

Need to complete they who returned quest

[upper skiff]

Anyone wanna inform me on how to obtain a staff

[round swan]

They just did. 🤦‍♂️

[upper skiff]

Lol I was jk

[round swan]

I surmised. 👍🏻

[violet quest]

anyone got some atlantian ones and their location?

[soft quartz]

Just go to a monolith

8/10 monoliths have a discordant interface

[wispy solar]

Yup, i'm in euclid

[mighty monolith]

Atlantid multiools are in every korvax monolith once u have done the " those who returned " autophage mission in any korvax system

[violet quest]

i don’t know if i’ve done this

[soft quartz]

found this in a space station, NOTE: you need to upgrade it to s class for the 2x2 slots and move scanner and visor somewhere else

[round swan]

Took me a while longer than I care to admit to realize it was only Korvax systems. 🙃

I don't think any other races are tied to MT appearances in any way aside from staves obviously.

[violet quest]

anyone have red antlandid cords?

[left canyon]

whats the best type of all-rounder multitool

[rigid jay]

Finish They Who Returned quest, then visit Autophage camps and do quests so you can buy parts from terminal. Each camp have different set of parts.
Important advice: stats for staff roll depending to where you're standing compared to terminal.

[rigid jay]

Alien

[left canyon]

thankeee

[pastel basin]

[latent mason]

anyone know where to find an atlantid multi tool with supercharged slots in a 2x2

[round swan]

Monoliths in Korvax systems.

[mint wing]

Try google.

[latent mason]

i have

[mint wing]

X to doubt. 10s search

https://youtu.be/vm3wY1Y9--k?is=hH46s1wNVA-s6bmz

[topaz shale]

Just found the ka-oolest multi tool. Have yet to see one like it in game or online (took huge break). Here are the cords -25.73 +102.99, second pic has the glyphs!

[left canyon]

hey does anyone have the perfect alien multitool with good all-round stats?

[chrome scroll]

A and B class in Space station yesterday.
Cords in pic

[rose bay]

Just got there, half the camp was buried, thank goodness for terrain manipulators

[left canyon]

thanks so much ill check it out right away'

[chrome scroll]

This is older. 3-4 months ago.
I don’t know if they stay or change

[left canyon]

ooo that one looks good too

im gonna buy the first one tho rn, mine is b tier

[chrome scroll]

Upgraded isn’t that expensive. Nanites are easy to earn
Get your standing up with any of the races enough so you get that nice 50% discount on all module upgrades.
Just buy everything in station and sell it right back. Go to next system and repeat.

[left canyon]

ooo good idea

thank u

i will probably do

that

idk tho cause idk if the alien multitool looks as cool as my atlantid multitool or my atlas scepter

[chrome scroll]

Yea i starting to have issues with to many MT.. not sure how many slots the archive have.

[tacit cave]

Bro, this is the best multitool I've seen in the entire game, thank you, buddy.

[chrome scroll]

yw
Happy to help

[mighty monolith]

5 Black and 1 Grey S class Atlantid Rifles

[quick bramble]

Is there a solid website to browse multi-tools and their locations?

[mint wing]

This channel history is solid . Plenty mt there

U can try reddit or nmsge

[quick bramble]

Yea i forgot about the media section, if it wasn’t for that scrolling back would be a pain

Also, is it really worth it to have 1 MT dedicated to mining and 1 dedicated to damage?

As i’ve heard people say they do

[mint wing]

Ita preference. Some like all in one mt

[violet quest]

fire, def gonna grab one of these

[violet quest]

i might’ve gotten my other atlandid from one of ur yt vids lol

[round swan]

I would say so, yes. Different tools provide different bonuses in their base stats and rearranging your tech to get the most benefit from sc arrangement before each job is a pain. As is swapping between all the possible technology using only one tool. Just my opinion tho.

[violet quest]

in my opinion no, nothing in the game is difficult enough where you need to do that

[round swan]

Also depends on your game settings and playstyle obviously. If you're in creative nothing really matters other than appearance. It's totally a personal choice.

[tame hazel]

So is there any way to get an Atlantid multi tool while in the Euclid galaxy?

[tame hazel]

So none of the planet coordinates I put in for the tools take me to the correct system despite them being Euclid

[round swan]

They may be in purple systems, which also requires completion of "In Stellar Multitudes"

[mighty monolith]

Nice . Glad someone had grab at least one of them

[mighty monolith]

Every korvax monolith has an atlantid multitool in it after you have done the " those who returned " mission for the autophage race. If u try to get one before then the weapon plinth won't pop up as u approach it

[tame hazel]

Well I didn’t get the Atlantid hyperdrive through the quest I got it through the expedition so does that change things?

[mighty monolith]

Autophage mission is before that when doing a normal play thru . U will need to do it to interact with the monolith as far as I know regardless.

[tame hazel]

Ok I’ll try that tmr

Thank you

[mighty monolith]

If u were trying to get one of the ones I posted above remember they are in eissentam galaxy

[chrome scroll]

Supercharged slots location all identical ?
Just random chance or is that standard for atlant MT ?

Does anyone know the max MT slots in the archive ?

[balmy python]

where i can find the staff as multitool?

[mighty monolith]

Same as multitool cabinets , the sc slots are fixed to that location no matter which tool you grab from it

[chrome scroll]

Ahh i didn’t realize they were from the same place

[chrome scroll]

First one from Autophage quest

Audience with the Autophage

[chrome scroll]

I love the staffs
Both really nice and the damage boost are great

[raven zenith]

What’s a good source for expansion slots?

[round swan]

Local missions or the corvette mission board. Some guild envoys have them if your standing with them is high enough.

[raven zenith]

Local missions? From the space station?

[chrome scroll]

Yea

[raven zenith]

Thanks

[chrome scroll]

And daily gifts from the envoys

[fleet scroll]

Hello just a quick question, how does one make a s class staff? Or should I just upgrade one

[chrome scroll]

I upgraded from A

[fleet scroll]

Well... best one I have made was a B one, so I will work with that, thanks

[chrome scroll]

I got a A from quest. Then another A from making one with 3 reclaimed parts. Same with 3 Radiant parts

[fleet scroll]

...I just did it, not my color but I did it

[chrome scroll]

Nice!
Runic?

[fleet scroll]

2 runics and forgot what I used for the third part

[crystal bolt]

hmmm yey or ney?

[mint wing]

Very decent

Very good even

[deft void]

one of my acquantences has a spectral staff.. how?

[gusty thorn]

to get a staff you have to do some thing with the autophages in the wich are first unlocked as a race inn the customizer and as npc`s in the they who returned questline hope this helps:3

[mint wing]

Its not actualy "spectral" . its just an effect casued by bug of building a staff with missing parts.

[round swan]

It's some kind of save edit. One of my friends has one as well.

[noble remnant]

question for the hunters, I've found this one in a sentinel tower, really loving the red and considering taking it, but my question is it worth to keep looking through other towers/settlements for s class? does this mean there's somewhere an s class on this planet/system? or should I just grab it, clean it and see how it upgrades?

[deft void]

Ah

[noble remnant]

scored my first s class experimental from proper hunting, does any one knows if s class cabinet is per system or per planet? do I have a chance to find another s class cabinet or should I move on to the next system?

[subtle minnow]

I want a good multitool system can someone slide some portal cords

[left canyon]

im gonna invest in the basilisk crown, looks so cool

[minor trail]

Oh it's beautiful, both in tier and aesthetic

[mighty monolith]

0% chance of s class cabinets in low economy systems, 1% in medium , 2% in high, and 5% in pirate systems, but with pirate systems max slots wont be unlocked on s class finds

Tnat being said ive found s class cabinets on my first try entering a system, and also taken nearly 700 to find one

[noble remnant]

thanks for the reply but that's not what I meant, I've found an s class cabinet on a planet, grabbed the experimental tool but it was the global system pool, then I went to reload on another planet but that cabinet was already empty, so my question is can I find another s class cabinet on that planet/system or it's better to move on once the tool is grabbed?

[mighty monolith]

Yeah you can go find another s class cabinet, there is more than 1 per system . As for the cabinet u grabbed the tools from, once u take a tool out and save , its empty , nothing will spawn back in

[noble remnant]

do I even look on the same planet or best to switch planets? or there's no rules about it?

appreciate the adice, love ur finds 🙂

[mighty monolith]

I've found 2 s class cabinets within 100u before , but thats rare . There are really no rules , its just chance . I'd change planets for a change of scenery and reduce the likelihood of maps sending you back to ones u have already been to.
( and thanks btw )

[noble remnant]

@mighty monolith one more question if you don't mind, let's say I've found s class cabinet on planet a, reloaded several times that planet to see what weapons are in pool but I still get the same tool, I assume it's the same thing with another planets and there's no way I'm going to planet b multiple times to reload just to get the same tool from that planet in the cabinet, so is there a way to effectively cycle through the pool with a single cabinet or there's no way and it's all chance?

[mighty monolith]

Find an A class cabinet and drop a beacon or base , then u can go reload on planets and check with time what u get

U will always get the same tool in the same spot

[noble remnant]

I did find couple of A class cabinets and marked them, so I can just check these for what's in the pool, nice.

U will always get the same tool in the same spot
ah, so there's no point reloading multiple times on different planets. got it. if the one I want doesn't appear in the s cabinet either look for another cabinet or take the a class. thank you!

[mighty monolith]

Yup, . Once u find the s class , just reload everywhere else , and see what u get . Found plenty of systems that spawn more than 1 decent tool as s class .

[noble remnant]

wait, so you're saying the s classes from other planets can appear in the a class cabinets too? ooh that's nice, I thought the class is fixed

guess I wasn't maximizing the effort on the a class cabinets

[mighty monolith]

Well kind of . Normally when im hunting , if i find something nice and its A class , i assume it will spawn as s class , but its not always the case . A cabinets class is fixed, a multiools class isnt . Tools shift up and down a class , so u will see a multitool as a class , but also b class , and s class , as a general rule

Very occasionally, u will find one u see as a class constantly, but u finally find an s class cabinet and its something u have never seen before, and its only s class . Its rare but happens .

Of course, , we are talking about traditional systems here , pirate systems are different all together

[noble remnant]

I haven't tried pirate for hunting yet, I just check the outlaw station, doing regular T3 ones trying to see what I can find

[mighty monolith]

Pirates are the easier cause there is a much higher chance of s class spawns

[noble remnant]

noway haha, the s cabinet gave me something nice

I'm going full red now with red sentinel

only 2 adj slots but that's ok, good enough for scanner I guess

I'll check the a cabinets anyways

[mighty monolith]

And in a pirate system u dont have to figure out if the tool will be an s class cause u can tell by an easy method

Whatever is in the cabinet in the back of the anomaly will be what spawns as s class for each pool, even though its c class

[noble remnant]

man I should start looking for tools, I only do dissonant pirate systems for sentinels but I should start doing tools too

[mighty monolith]

In a pirate system , one tool in each pool is c,b,a,s classes , and all others are c class only

It's very different to regular systems but takes the guess work out of it

[noble remnant]

I'll try next time I'm in pirate, thanks, good info

[mighty monolith]

👍

[noble remnant]

I'm getting the hang of it, thanks for the advice @mighty monolith, btw I tried a pirate system but it was very weird, also dissonant was weird, I think maybe I should stick to normal systems for now, either way, getting some very cool tools now!

[trail socket]

Does everyone just use one multitool or does anyone else like me enjoy cramming weapons into one multi-tool and mining tools on to the other? I don't know if it's just hte M+KB controls but it's a pain to flip through all the attachments otherwise.

[noble remnant]

I have two as well but thinking combining into the one experimental I've found today, I think I don't need more than two weapons so cycling between four things not that bad, so scatter blaster, neutron, mining and terrain manipulator on the main side, plasma launcher, paralysis and invisibility on the other side and it's not that bad, I can still keep a dedicated weapon tool and switch on occasion when I'm farming sentinel towers or going after crystallised heart but to be honest I can't tell the difference much between maxed out weapon on the royal/experimental and for example the sentinel, I didn't try maxing out alien yet but if I can take down a dissonant resonator with two scatter shots I don't see the point for stronger weapon, I'd rather have scanning and mining speed bonuses.
also, once I've started picking up more tools for fun switching between them becomes a hassle, I tried to macro tool 1 tool 2 but they keep changing places if I pick up other tools, so I think I'd better stick with one and keep one dedicated to combat just in case

[trail socket]

Yeah, I just took a lot of the extraneous tools off and split them into two. Also I couldn't decide whether I wanted a gun that looked like my ship or a cool stick so I kept both lol

[rustic canyon]

Any glyphs for an multitool

[nova portal]

Whos got glyphs for 2x2 sc slot multitool

Cube one

And autophage nothing else

[noble remnant]

very tough find but very cool red small experimental [euclid/ -18.08 : 168.62 /reload on planet]

[chrome scroll]

When comparing MT, what is experimentals type description?

[mint wing]

Scan

[chrome scroll]

I have a royal for scanning & mining
For fighting i use Staff with neutron or sentinel with Boltcaster depending on my mood

[unreal wedge]

Then experimental and royal are equivalent for you purposes

[chrome scroll]

Yea i know. Just wondering what the classification is ingame

[unreal wedge]

(well, for all purposes)

[mint wing]

Any mt will fit any role. Type only maters when u want to minmax

[chrome scroll]

I never seen a MT ingame with experimental class.
Only pistol/rifle/exotic etc

[sweet spoke]

where can i get an experemental rifle

[unreal wedge]

It will display as "experimental" when you compare tools, but they are quite rare

[sweet spoke]

nvm i just found one on nmsce

[chrome scroll]

Thank you.

I need to find one. I have all other types

[unreal wedge]

You can search on nmsce.com for them and find one that takes your fancy

[fallow bronze]

Any recommendations for getting Multi Tool expansion slots?

[noble remnant]

harmonic camps have harmonic scrap, pretty good chance to get multitool, exosuit and starship augmentation, freighter missions also give some but it takes longer, if you find a good flat dissonant world with a lot of echo locators to farm you can farm it from the camps

[fallow bronze]

Ah I see thank you

[noble remnant]

oh yeah and the guilds also give you some, I don't remember which one of them, I think the merchant ones, so it's really worth to level up with the guilds, if you at the correct level you can just warp into systems and collect them from the space stations

they also give bulkhead, starship and exosuit slots

[fallow bronze]

Kk thank you

[heady swallow]

I found some awesome looking multitools recently let me grab my pictures

[remote glacier]

Are there any in-game (no-save-edit) tricks to getting good SC layout on a staff?

[rose bay]

Found this by accident XD
Galaxy and coords in second and third pic

[knotty flax]

Not a bad little pistol. I fully upgraded it, it starts as a B class.

[uncut skiff]

So just out of curiosity, what is the best weapon in y'all's opinion?

I tend to stick to boltcaster and blaze javelin

But I wanna know what I can do to be better. I feel like cycling between multiple things takes too much time in combat, considering I have a fishing rig as well

[fallow bronze]

I use pulse spitter

Hard to aim tho

[uncut skiff]

I like the blaze javelin but I kinda wanna switch it out

I hate having too many things to cycle through so

[tough hill]

I used to use pulse spitter, the I switched to neutron cannon (with a pc mod that reduces the camera recoil of the weapon), now I use neutron with bootcaster

[obtuse loom]

Neutron is my go-to, as I am a bad aim for bolt, and pulse spitter tends to take a little more time.

Scatter blaster also isn’t bad, but eats ammo.

Blaze javelin is really really good CC

[chrome scroll]

Absolutely easiest way is to grind rep with the 3 guilds to exalted and then warp around and pick up their free daily gifts.
You can go to exalted in a couple days.

[random bison]

is 23k damage potential good?

[mint wing]

If it works good its good

[simple sonnet]

I guess most people use the fatbody or royal for scanning and mining?

[mint wing]

Scanning stat caps at 2k . But it does not do much. And even rifle is able to reach it

[simple sonnet]

Is it not related to the amount of units or receive scanning things?

Or just scanning distance?

oh, OK so I any MT is good for scanning

[mint wing]

Scaning distance caps even quicker

[simple sonnet]

So what is the most optimal way to get the most units out of your scanning?

Supercharge slots S upgrades? The mt doesn’t matter much?

[mint wing]

Sc slots layout. Good Scanner modules and ingestor food boost

[simple sonnet]

Ok I won’t bother hunting for a better MT then. I thought it had more of effect than that.

I assume the mining stat is more important?

[simple sonnet]

Atlantid would be the best weapon for mining?

[unreal wedge]

Yes, especially if you can get a layout that lets you optimise the synergy bonuses while supercharging..

It's worth noting that most of the mining bonuses don't affect the terrain modifier, so you won't get extra materials from deposits.

[simple sonnet]

what do you mean by synergy exactly? I've been putting upgrades into supercharge spots when possible. If there an optimal way to layout MT slots in general?

[unreal wedge]

When you put techs of the same type together, they get a little bonus to any numeric stats they have (and a coloured border). So you want to boost your best mods by having as many adjacent techs of the same type as possible.

See #nms-commands message for more info

I believe the effect of supercharging is greater (hopefully someone can confirm/correct me), but if you can do both, it's ideal

[simple sonnet]

OK, this explains why generally the best tools have a box of supercharged slots

With slots close to can maximize and specialize your MTs

[soft quartz]

Damage build, don’t have much scanner modules rn

[simple sonnet]

Probly my favorite looking MT. I’ve only found a B class so far

Can you find them in different colors?

[soft quartz]

Idk

[uncut skiff]

I've yet to find a cool multi tool haha

[proud lintel]

How did u get those damage numbers with only a few modules?

[obtuse loom]

looks like the funny sc slot box

[mint wing]

Neutron canon boosts the stat number. But the stat is not accurate in practice

[soft quartz]

Supercharged

[red cairn]

that thing is sexy you got coords for that?

[red cairn]

I am watching your video literally right now how crazy

how tf are y'all getting MTs with 180k DPS potential @.@

I thought I was fryyyying with this

[mighty monolith]

i was literally just recording another one

[red cairn]

it is possible to teleport to other players...I mean since we're both here rn I'd love to get one of those 4 baddies haha

[mighty monolith]

im not in that system right now, was hunting a red experimental pistol with green crystals somewhere else

[red cairn]

gotcha np, those are fire tho

I gotta figure out how to find Monos faster to get around

[mighty monolith]

thanks. u can get there easy enough yourself, if u need an easy way to eissentam, just got to the featured bases in the anomaly, one is in eissentam galaxy, teleport to it, then you can just go find a portal and dial the planet those atlantids are on

[red cairn]

cheers I'll do that ty again brother 😄

[mighty monolith]

no probs 🙂

[random bison]

It was from a video made by Zhunt. The one I got is the 4th one in the list https://youtu.be/Izl9jRztuBo?si=2BVLoiNrZS16wRZh

[nova portal]

Wassup people does anyone have glyphs for a white autophage staff

White and blue is best

[red cairn]

Vice you got coords for this?

[soft quartz]

Yup

Reload in the station

Then go to the base there

[red cairn]

that thing is absolutely insane

[red cairn]

did you put one up or

[soft quartz]

No but there is a base there

[red cairn]

hmm those coords keep saying Atlas failure and taking me somewhere else

[red cairn]

yeah I've tried like 4 times this is nuts

I wonder if I need quest progress or something

@noble remnant is that the same MT you have, this one with the nutty damage?

@round swan and yours

[mighty monolith]

judging by the glyphs, its a purple system. if the 2nd glyph in a sequence is anything but the water or bird glyph, its generally a purple star system. u cant dial a purple star on a save that hasnt unlocked them yet. it will give u an atlas error and put you in a nearby system

second glyph in that address is the moon glyph.

[random bison]

Seems like you haven't completed the "In Stellar Multitudes" quest that unlocks access to purple star systems

[red cairn]

yeah I have not, ty for the clarification y'all

[proud lintel]

so the 4 superchared nutron canons are enough to reach almost 20k damage potentian?

[tough hill]

Depends on your MT as well. This is mine on my sentinel

just shy of 156k damage potential, but as stated before, that damage potential number is purely for dopamine related effects, it is not an accurate indication of damage.

[noble remnant]

not sure which one you mean but I had the sentinel rifle with great damage, but I realized numbers don't really matter, I've set the same scatter blaster setup on royal/experimental and the results are the same, I judge by how many shots it takes to take down a dissonant resonator/walker sentinel for the brain and it's the same thing pretty much, two shots for resonator, 5-6 shots for the walker, so I went ahead and combined everything into a single experimental I've found and use it for everything.

btw same thing with scan range, not sure how it works but I have >3k scan range but I've never seen a target further than ~1k units, and on small moons where many things are very close even less, my guess is that there's a limit on how many items you can read in your visor and it just don't render the far points anyways

[red cairn]

haha where'd you get it tho

[red cairn]

fair enough, but my MT isn't even close to that so I'm still looking for a big upgrade, and yeah I was talking about the Sentinel one 😄

[tough hill]

Not my find, just passing it on

[noble remnant]

yeah I still have it but I don't use it, I decided to use only tools I find so I'm with the red experimental I've found, I use the 3sc slots for scanner modules not for the range but for scan bonuses, the damage is pretty much the same as my sentinel was

[red cairn]

you're goated ty for that

[noble remnant]

I was after a full red alien which I wanted to test for weapons but I only found it in c class

it's documented so I might go back and find the one that opens up with nice slots setup

I'm hunting scanner modules now, the ones with over 8k bonus for fauna are so rare, harder to find than the tools

[red cairn]

even if there is a dmg cap I'm sure I haven't reached it, so if you have* the coords to yours if it has a better SC layout that would be nuts

[noble remnant]

I think it was 3+1, but if you get a cube slots that's insane damage bonus

[red cairn]

yeah someones is, it's like 180k DPS and I'm desperate for it haha

I got my infraknife up to 104k on my Sentinel ship

trying to see what I can do even if the game caps me

[noble remnant]

nope, just checked and mine was 2+2

[red cairn]

did that come out as a B tier?

I hate having to navigate that shit. I went there, MT was B Tier, I reloaded the game and now it's not even the same gun -_-

and it's still B tier lol

I don't understand when to reload or not

[tough hill]

I don't remember if it dropped as S tier, but if it wasn't, I upgraded it to S and the cross SC layout was the result

[wet wharf]

This feels like a good start so far at least in my opinion.

[tropic grail]

Test

Wonder why my last message was auto deleted.. lemme try again,,

If only it was fully green :(

[tough hill]

that ain't a bad looking tool

[mighty monolith]

Assume these are both still there but here are S class versions , white on green and green on white.

[snow citrus]

got meself a staff

only my second one i made so far

[remote glacier]

is there a visual guide to staff colors somewhere?

[snow citrus]

i honestly dont know, try diffrent autopahge terminals, that might work.

[wet wharf]

Not the finished product yet but I have finally acquired the perfect staff.

Will send updated photo when I get on

[sharp pawn]

the staff colors are completly random what its gonna be in each camp

[unreal wedge]

Each staff assembly terminal has a random preset colour combo that applies to all staff heads, but if you change heads more than 2 times per interaction (preview, cancel, swap head, preview, cancel, swap head), it generates a new random colour combo (and a staff class for each head) using your current position. So you can move around the terminal to generate different staff colour and classes to see if any take your fancy.

[round swan]

Just be mindful when you do that, you're the only one who can see staff colors. Staves look grey/tealish to everyone else regardless of the colors you choose.

[wet wharf]

This is useful to know. I spent hours going to different camps. Guess I'll be rolling for a better black and red one 🤙🏻

[wet wharf]

Wait seriously?

[remote glacier]

sure, but how many colors are there?

[wet wharf]

So far I have found black and red, red and navy blue, white and purple, green and red, orange and blue, light blue and black, and black and green.

Im sure there's a set pool of colors but those are all I have found so far.

[remote glacier]

Thanks, that helps.

[wet wharf]

Anytime.

I had to hunt for mine so I ran into quite a few color combos

The coolest one was the black crystal for the radiant heart one.

It had the ugliest neon green for the shaft though and it just ruined it

[errant tangle]

always or only if you do the buggy reroll thing?

[round swan]

Pretty sure the only ones that don't do it are from expeditions.

Which is quite sad. I spent hours looking for my first one just to learn it's actually grey. 🙃

[wet wharf]

This one is fire af.

[mighty monolith]

Thanks

[wet wharf]

So I found this thing while I was wandering about

Ngl, nice color scheme. If only the crystals were red 😮‍💨

[knotty flax]

Unfortunately not no. The colour is completely random depending on the location

[knotty flax]

Glyphs for the system? Coordinates for the location of the terminal?

[remote glacier]

I'm not looking for a correspondence between location and color, but rather a guide to the different colors that are available, so I know what to hunt. Someone here has posted the combinations they've found‚ so I'll go with that.

[knotty flax]

Aaaah, I misunderstood then, my bad

[wet wharf]

If I remembered it would be there

I apologize.

[knotty flax]

Aw man, that's a damn shame. It's a really good colour. This is why I always say people should do their best to post Glyphs and coordinates because if you post your finds, you never know who might want to go grab them. There really isn't any point sharing the post if you don't intend people to go find it. Anyway, it's all good, I don't wanna make you feel bad. It's just something I've been saying for ages, often getting backlash for it, but this proves that we NEED people to share the info aswell as the item. Thanks anyway.

[fringe totem]

So far the best multitool I obtained (and still use) is the one I got from the base armorer quests.

Though not gonna lie, I am salivating at the prospect of getting the stuff.

[pale sphinx]

Check this cool thing out I found on an Atlantid planet!

Mathematical Impact Absorber.

Reminds me of Adventure Time

[wet wharf]

It was just late and slipped my mind when grabbing it.

[sullen scarab]

@mighty monolith do you have any like "encyclopedia" where i could look for the multitools I want without having to scroll through millions of messages lol

[daring vigil]

This site has a lot

https://nmsce.com

There are some Reddit forums also

[mighty monolith]

yup, its called my You tube page, hehe.

[mint wing]

Search channel by media?

[mighty monolith]

Just posted a new video in the content creator channel here for this one

[sullen scarab]

Theres something I don't understand with multitool bonuses. If I have a royal S multitool, the mining bonus is 25-30, right? Now if that royal multitool is also a pistol, do the two bonuses add up?

Basically, does it make a difference, for example, for mining if the royal mt is a pistol or a rifle?

[rose forge]

after searching and searching for s class staffs i took this one and upgrade it. Exhausts me to hop from terminal to terminal

[atomic nebula]

If you take the time to learn the secondary staff technique, I assure you that a single terminal will be more than enough.

[ivory veldt]

Doing the magic staff trick I find 3-5 S class at every terminal. Also natural S Class seem to always have higher base damage.

I think it’s 483-433

[rose forge]

is this the trick with changing positions infront of terminal?

[ivory veldt]

Yes

Have every staff head. Put together a staff, assemble and decline until the staff changes color, the you can swap every head in to check them all. After, move and start over.

[atomic nebula]

The staff is definitely the easiest thing to get in S-class once you know the technique. I think with the console off, I start a timer and I find one in less than 5 minutes

[rose forge]

hmm ok ye def try this

thx

[ivory veldt]

I think you wrote the book on this

[ivory veldt]

I think I missed a step. After you decline take of a piece of the staff and put it back in

I’ve been doing this on one of Aresmars ships where I have a limit to where I can stand and still find 2-3. What’s nice is after moving the ship I get to start over

[atomic nebula]

I didn't mean to sound pretentious, it's just to illustrate how simple it is. And yes, you have to assemble the staff twice before changing one of the parts.

[rose forge]

is there a link to this book ?

[ivory veldt]

I’m on Hero’s discord, I’ve read your stuff there. I know you know this better than just about anyone.

[atomic nebula]

I misinterpreted your answer lol my bad

[ivory veldt]

I do have a ?. When ever I get the magic staff I have to trade another multi-tool. Is this normal.

[mint wing]

Late game content. Type !faq-echoes in #bot-spam

Once u complete the quest u can make them at autophage camps

[ivory veldt]

Let me ask the question differently that hopefully makes more sense. When I make a normal staff I can take it for free if I have an open slot. With the magic staff I only get the option to swap with another tool. I’ve never heard anyone point this out so I’m wondering if it’s a bug on my end.

[mint wing]

Max mt u can have on u is 6. U can store mt in cold storage when using weapon rack base part.

[round swan]

Royals don't come in different types. Chech the pins to see the bonuses (and appearance) of each type.

[round swan]

They also fail to mention staff colors don't appear to anyone in multiplayer other than you. They see a grey staff with blueish accents regardless of the colors you chose. The only ones that appear how they should to others are from expeditions unless the terminal gave you a dull grey and blueish staff to begin with.

[wet wharf]

Feeling pretty good about this thing now.

[round swan]

I feel way better about the stone and bone ones now too lol now if only I could get my hands on a pre-packaged runic lens and incinerator... 🤔 I may just have to buy a subscription for the bot. -_- Those are incredibly hard to find. Editors tend to use things like that immediately, not hand them out lol

[blazing pike]

Mines full s class it's very good staff

[primal cypress]

Ok how TF do I find a good multi tool. I find exotics a plenty but I've NEVER seen a multi tool above c class

[tough hill]

I know I have said this many many times, but nanites upgrading your tool is one way to do it, though the SC placement is more random, if you have the portal glyphs unlocked, you may want to check the images posted here and see if any strike your fancy and use the portal system to go there and grab the tools

[mint wing]

Hello. i dont recall u as moderator so im just saying hello 🙂

[tough hill]

Hi, you are a fast spotter ><

[primal cypress]

Well where do people find them in the wild?

[round swan]

Minor settlements, trade posts, space stations, archives, player owned settlements with the corresponding structure built, sentinel pillars, npc events. They're all over and most have a set 'pool' they draw from depending on the planet you load the game from within that system.

[tough hill]

Basically a combination of looking specifically for them AND dumb luck

[swift hound]

Is there any way to get a specific multi tool design or is everything procedurally generated and you hope you find the one you want?

[mint wing]

Proc gen*

Depends on tool type.

Sentinel mt are in charmonic camps.

Staffs are assembled in autophage camps

[swift hound]

Is there a catalog of all parts to kinda gauge what they can look like ?

Are the pins not just the types ?

[mint wing]

Pinned messages have all types of mt

[fringe totem]

Dunno if anyone needs it for anything but aesthetics but there is some funky multitool on the sale at the system space station:

[pulsar loom]

What‘s the over-under you could Coldstore that for me, i‘ll be on in a while

More than willing to pay with some multiplied compensation

[fringe totem]

Pardon, need to leave the game for a while, sorry.

[pulsar loom]

Fair enough
Worth a shot at least.

Im on a bender of collecting Multi-Tools

There was a red Experimental Multi-tool (pistol) the other day in there

[gaunt heath]

Eissentam
Defiance - Primary Planet
Art of Sight -
Shadow of Solemnity -
4th Planet undetermined due to Aggro Sentinels and no pillar

[blazing pike]

Any senitel god ones

[patent oriole]

Found this color on planet cool thing about it is it has 4 supercharged technology slots next to each other

[sweet sail]

Why is it so wide😭 🙏🏻

[mighty monolith]

showing the expanded slots to the 4th row so u can see the 4 SC slots.

there is a video of it in the content creator channel where u can see how it looks in the cabinet

[wet wharf]

If anyone wants it, this was on a trading outpost on my planet. Might have to reload before landing but I'll drop the tool and the cords.

[tawdry siren]

Its an experimental pistol, their nature is that they are phat.

[open atlas]

replaced my origonal multitool with this new one, how is it

[tough hill]

apart from the placement of your scanner mods, I think it's good

the scanner itself doesn't do much when you quad adjacent like that, I would choose a block formation and have the X rank mods have as much adjaceny as possible with each other

[round swan]

Right. 😆 Didn't take long to happen again tho...

You know what we're tired of seeing? Your bitching.

[desert beacon]

fish.

[half forge]

Cool

[sullen scarab]

Hey all

Is it worth upgrading my MT to class S? Will that make it mine faster/better?

[amber oak]

Yes

I think

[sullen scarab]

lol

I think so too but I would like to be sure haha its all my nanites

[sullen scarab]

Oh wait, of course it does. The table shows the bonuses haha I forgot it included class

[pliant swallow]

This Vy'keen is generously offering me a "better" multitool XD

[karmic wedge]

[sullen mauve]

Maybe he thinks it suits you 😂 /s

[gloomy lichen]

This fits more into #memes🤡 @pliant swallow

[slate garden]

So from what im getting is that when you're building a staff multitool the color depends on what planet you're on

[bitter falcon]

If anyone wants to add to their collection. Located in Euclid Galaxy. Its at the space station

[tough hill]

It also depends on the the station, multiple stations makes multiple different colors, even if on the same planet

[gaunt heath]

Eissentam New Find

[noble remnant]

that feeling when you randomly check a sentinel tower and there's s class royal there [-63.98 | -111.79]

[tawdry siren]

That feeling when you find an s class cabinet in the station, then you check all the pool designs and they are 💩

[twilit ridge]

Dang the slot police in here to

[noble remnant]

happened to me way too many times

[frank crater]

Hey is this worth it? I would say Im in Very Early to Early game and wiring looms cost like 80k units

Im asking if its worth repairing

or should I take it and sell it or something

[tawdry siren]

Id leave it and buy an unbroken one

or one with more slots

[frank crater]

its free

[tawdry siren]

take n sell then maybe

[frank crater]

I had an interaction where I showed this guy my multi tool and he offered me this one lol

[plucky onyx]

It does but if you don’t like the first color u can return it to ur suit then reapply it for a second color

[slate garden]

So you just cycle through the 5 or so options that you can get from the same place

[plucky onyx]

There’s only two color options per terminal

[slate garden]

That's good to know

[karmic wedge]

found this one multitool that looks like a shotgun

[plucky onyx]

Hy tru

[mighty monolith]

nice experimental rifle , looks like a much older shot based on the UI

[gloomy lichen]

oh dang, I remember that old UI, wowzers

[gaunt shard]

yo for the voltiac staffi get an s class???

[karmic wedge]

it looks like a shotgun not a rifle

[sacred oriole]

Yes, but that multitool is classified as an Experimental Rifle multitool.

[lunar depot]

Anyone got coords for a good sentinel rifle multitool

[noble remnant]

anyone knows what's the category for this one in nmsce?

[tough hill]

Sentinel

[noble remnant]

I don't see this option

[tough hill]

Yeah one sec

Most are either labeled Atlantid (for some reason) or has no label at all

[noble remnant]

I think rifle is more appropriate, maybe even compact rifle

[tough hill]

Rifle is its own category though

Even though it does look like one

[noble remnant]

I can feel the disappointment incoming

[tawdry siren]

Hehe

[fallow bronze]

Can there be alien riffles?

[tawdry siren]

Is considered an alien rifle, i dont think that mt box is valid anymore btw. Just showing for example reasons

[noble remnant]

I'm so conflicted, green is not exactly my color, but, love the runic shape, and it took me a lot of time to find it s class... the other color variation is c class unfortunately...

@tawdry siren u think multitools nerfed in pirate systems like ships?

[tawdry siren]

except sentinels ones yes

[noble remnant]

so I gotta look for another staff

[tawdry siren]

not sure about staves, i dont use them

probably same as sentinels

i always forget about them as i dont use them

[noble remnant]

I got it anyways just to see if the damage is really better, but, same as the experimental... two neutron shots for dissonant resonator.

[tawdry siren]

the nerf only applies really to damage, so if you use one for mining should be ok

[noble remnant]

no I wanted to check the damage specifically

same setup for native s class experimental vs s class staff, the numbers almost the same, the damage seems to be as well

I need to try alien too, just for the sake of it

[tired apex]

I think the green suits it

[raven zenith]

When looking for an autophage staff can you find more than one class in a camp? Can I get a better class using different parts from the same terminal is what I wonder.

[tough hill]

Yes, if you try different heads

Also, whenever you are at any terminal, you can see the stats of a y staff before you commit, if you do this for two configurations without backing out of the terminal menu completely, the seeds for that terminal changes, which lets you get more opportunities for different classes for the staff heads you have tried, however, this second part is very hard to reproduce because that new seed also depends on where your character is physically standing, so even if you move ever so slightly, the new seeds will change.

This may be used to your advantage, but is quite detrimental to reproducing the results.

The first two tries you get do not have this issue, and the tries are reset when you back out of the terminal

[raven zenith]

So, it’s even more challenging than I thought! Thanks

So it’s the heads that drive the class?

[tough hill]

It's the head that dictates the stats of the staff, the other two parts are there for the ride and don't affect the outcome beyond the looks

[rigid jay]

It looks like something you looted on Tau Ceti

[noble remnant]

I eventually rolled the dice couple more times and got a different yellow/turquoise combo so I decided to go yellow for a while, a change is nice and now I have the excuse to switch for one of my yellow exotics for a while, or if I find a full yellow sentinel tank.
the slots on the staff are not the best so I'll still be looking for other terminals/colors see if I can get a better layout but overall happy with it

[pliant swallow]

Do i understand it correctly that multitools don't have any inherent bonuses beyond the ones from type and rank? So, for example, every rank A rifle is going to perform the same (modules nonwithstanding)?

[tough hill]

There are inherent stat bonuses on each multitool

So each say a rank rifle will have slightly different performances unless the rifles came from the same cabinet

But even if no stat variations, the supercharged slot layout generally tend to make each weapon perform differently

[tawdry siren]

Multitool bonus range are shown in the pic for each multitool and rank

[pliant swallow]

Okay, but how can i tell the size of a mining bonus? The multitool only displays scan range and damage potential. In fact even those already take installed mods into account, so they're not exactyly representative

[tawdry siren]

Only way you can see them is via a save editor

damage you can get a general idea if you remove all modules and upgrades except for i think mining beam, you can compare then, but its only a general idea

so this is what you see in a save editor

if you remove all damage related modules and upgrades like this, you can compare the number at top right for damage

So damagewise that pic just has mining laser or equivilent

and damage potential is 483, which on sentinel weapons is around 48 damage rating

That is only way to compare MT weapons damage stat in game

Sentinel Weapons also come in 466.7, 450.0, and 433.3 variants, where 433 is the worst and 483 is the highest

There is no way ingame to compare mining bonus afaik

[unreal wedge]

Worth noting, if an MT has a scatter blaster, its damage potential will be highly inflated - hence why you should remove all weapons tech to compare damage

[orchid root]

I found.a Gek that was stuck dancing a month ago ;-;

[unreal wedge]

Also I think the mining bonus is just mining speed, not resources

[orchid root]

somehow ;-;

[tawdry siren]

#nms-multitools message is what I use for mining pre atlandtid unlock

[orchid root]

oops, wrong chat ;-;

[tawdry siren]

yer but 10 resourses per second is more resourses than 2 per second if you mining for 10 seconds

or no?

[unreal wedge]

What I mean is, you don't get more resources for the whole node (barring tech & consumables)

[tawdry siren]

not sure how it works tbh, I still prefer the best mining bonus I can get

and once you unlock minin food buff, its well, becomes less pointless i suppose

When you can mine 3 stacks in like 10 seconds

tbh not done much if any testing on it

[unreal wedge]

Indeed, I also have an Atlantid for the mining speed, because why not 😁

[tawdry siren]

me too, i think mine is 48/49 mining stat

but pre Atlantid I use that pistol alot with 34

[vague void]

been using this multitool for my scanner build matching my blue sentinel theme

[raven zenith]

What are the most productive ways to gets MT expansion slots?

[vague void]

Get max guild reputation for the 3 guilds. (Solar System Jumping then donating then jumping again)
Once they are ranking up, buy everything that's free.
Will include MT expansion slots, ship expansion slots, inventory expansion slots, and freighter expansion slots.
You'll work on everything while doing this.

[raven zenith]

Thanks! I already have one guild and maybe close on a couple of others. Should be fun.

[knotty flax]

I just found this little beauty. Starts as a C-class

L slots too

[obtuse loom]

Is it just me or is every multitool in some way… just… dissatisfying?

It’s weird for me.

I legit just trashed every multitool minus the one I use to slaughter enemies.

The mining on it makes me… very saddened, but I genuinely didn’t know what else to do-

[knotty flax]

Which one are you using?

[obtuse loom]

The sentinel rifle.

It had almost a line 3 natural supercharged slot layout

so it’s a sentinel shredder

[knotty flax]

That's the most powerful rifle, so maybe that's why the others feel underwhelming to you. You could do with better slot formation though tbh, like a T shape or diamond, or square

[obtuse loom]

that is indeed true but that grind screams agony, and even then I HATE how sluggish the sentinel weapons are with mining…

[knotty flax]

I use a staff for killing (it's the same power as the sentinel rifle) and an atlantid for mining because its the best for mining period

[obtuse loom]

That starts triggering the issue of “I don’t have enough active weapon slots”

Yes I have the rack but I don’t wanna go back n forth…

[knotty flax]

Sorry, I don't understand

[obtuse loom]

Its a personal thing so it’s 100% fine you don’t LOL

normal people would be fine with how many active multitool slots you have, which I think is 6?

I start sweating when my ass has more than a single usable multitool…

[knotty flax]

You can store a whole bunch in your corvette

That's what I do

[obtuse loom]

granted eventually I’ll be making it to where I have guns designated for “people” as my outfits are separate entities in my mind

[knotty flax]

I have a lot of great slot mt

Great looking with great slots, but one of each type is good for me

Any more than that feels excessive

[obtuse loom]

I need to work on my staff but my nanite grind has been stalled multiple times LOL

[knotty flax]

Oh, you pay for your upgrades? Lol no wonder you don't wanna grind for slots

[obtuse loom]

for classes yeah-

I don’t bother with the natty S bc it’s a lot of hassle-

[knotty flax]

I don't worry about all that nonesense. I just upgrade everything I find, for free. It leaves more time for discovering

The survival elements just slow me down

So I turn that crap off

[obtuse loom]

I match colors and go from there basically.

Turns out that my staff had some decent slot placements.

[knotty flax]

Nice. I save screenshots of multi tools I find nowadays, and ships. I've found so many I want to keep, so the only way I can keep them all is to keep the screenshots with the glyphs

[obtuse loom]

Rn I’m just putting random weapons on the rifle I have now

blaze javelin w the stun module thing (both), plasma launcher

I want the plasma launcher for the fun only

@knotty flax I just remembered black market exists…

if I want boosts out of the other unsupercharged slots, it’d be best to find the best possible black market modules for them…

I am in denial that I’m in that stage of the game ig

[knotty flax]

Don't deny it, roll with it. Become one with the modules lol

[obtuse loom]

I am now thinking that the grind won’t be that bad.

It’s more to do!

[knotty flax]

It's not that bad tbh. The grind for a good slot formation is actually quite therapeutic, because you can do ships and multi tools at the same time at the harmonic camps

Staffs, sentinels, and the sentinel ship. If you can be bothered there's the exotic but I often don't bother with those.

I've actually started hunting good slot shuttles

I love them lol

[obtuse loom]

O god I need basalt for once

excuse me why is it possible to add another mining beam to a sentinel weapon?-

Update: Maxed blaze javelin is useless against corrupted sentinels but probably not too shabby against regulars.

You’re gonna use it for damaging stun anyways.

So it def needs black market tech.

or it needs those damage sc slots more than the neutron cannon ever will

[unborn mist]

is there a clear way of telling if a multitool is an experimental type?

[fallow bronze]

They usually have a sleeker design

[lunar depot]

What’s an easy way to get multi tool expansion

[plain oriole]

this thing looks like it can distroy a planet

[plain oriole]

is this thing real or modded??

im so unsure which of these all are modded or not 😭

[noble remnant]

real, all runic components, I had no idea there were modded multitools

[plain oriole]

idk if there are im new here and i am just making sure im not getting excited by something thats modded

😅

also quick questions can you encounter other players in your game like is it all one big server or not?

sorry if thats stupid

[noble remnant]

you can in the anomaly all the time, also during weekend missions, otherwise it's very unlikely to just stumble upon another player randomly

[plain oriole]

okay okay thanks!

[vital ruin]

Whenever Im in a different system I just buy a slot

Stacks up really fast

Or you can do the sentinel farm

Thats a bunch of hard work tho

The shards you get from killing sentinels has a chance of giving multitool expansion

Probably the most efficient way

[formal fossil]

Both that tool and the tent/environment around it look exactly like a base I have in a camp XDD

[serene fable]

Hi, is my first time going to sentinel pillars and found this weapon, is only giving the option to compare, do I have to fix everything to take it? Or is it like blueprints for later?

[pliant coral]

Did u add to collection

[serene fable]

I dont think so, no

[pliant coral]

I had this problem too, just hold compare and it will say to either add to collection or swap with ur gun (dont do that)

Or what so far i experienced

[noble remnant]

first you take it by either adding if you have space or swapping for another tool, then you fix the damaged slots, if you don't have the resources to fix the slots you can buy repair kits from outlaw stations in pirate systems or exchange void mote for them in autophage harmonic camps

[serene fable]

Thanks!

[barren saddle]

Cool Alien Pistol, only C-Class though

[split remnant]

found this lil guy on accident

my first infact

[blazing verge]

Nice color tbh

[tired apex]

B l u

[feral crag]

why is the right one worth double?

[lyric totem]

Where can I find a staff like multi tool

[gloomy lichen]

You make them at autophage camps

[quick crown]

oh hey found my first alien
B tho so ill skip it

[sullen mauve]

Where do you guys find those geometric multitools?

[sullen mauve]

Like this one

[mighty monolith]

Thanks

[tough hill]

Those are atlantid tools, which require the quest They Who Returned completed

#nms-commands message

And they only show up in Korvax systems after you complete them

[jovial jolt]

location?

[tough hill]

That is Expedition 12 reward

[jovial jolt]

rip

[unreal wedge]

The NMS service bot appears to be able to deliver it (https://nomansapp.com/)

[sullen mauve]

Ah, nice. I forgot completely.

[lean steeple]

i wanna die

[stuck plaza]

how tf did you manage this LOL

[lean steeple]

i did an atlas quest and then this happend:(

[stuck plaza]

ah damn, sorry to hear that. at least most module repairs are relatively easy to fix

wrong channel mb

[lean steeple]

yea but still will take quite a bit of stuff:(

[stuck plaza]

use my stuff if you want, im a packrat

[lean steeple]

no dont worry :v but thanks:)

[stuck plaza]

np lol

[obtuse loom]

oooh you did the last quest that destroys your shit…

whenever you jump to another galaxy it will destroy all tech on your exosuit, active ship, and multitool

So use throwaways and remove exosuit tech before jumping

[lean steeple]

ye :v ik now xD

[oblique sundial]

Someone in nms questions told me to use a dummy MT and Ship and remove all the upgrades so it doesnt damage them im so glad I did

[tough hill]

Yep, your galactic core travel kit

[lean steeple]

Lucky you

[vague void]

I would love to find a Blue experimental multi-tool ( 3+1 ) that has 25% damage.
This one only has 15% damage 💀

[tough hill]

That's after upgrqding to S rank?

[quick crown]

found this exact X-class tech on an otherwise unremarkable multitool from sentinel pillars twice in a row on this planet

[unreal wedge]

It's nice, but there are versions which boost all 4 stats (fauna, flora, mineral and range)

[quick crown]

figured flora/mineral are useless anyways

[unreal wedge]

Fauna are worth more, especially rare ones

[quick crown]

yeah
and theres actual reasons to scan fauna (i.e. xeno arena) as opposed to flora/minerals

[unreal wedge]

I like numbers going up. Except I'm stuck at the unit cap now 😅

[vague ridge]

Anyone can help me hunt down for a multi tool '-'

[quick crown]

are any other multitools with X mods known btw?

[quick crown]

what tool do you want?

[unreal wedge]

Yes, multitools can spawn with random mods installed

Crafted staffs, sentinel pillars, atlantid monoliths, etc

[vague ridge]

I'm not sure I'm kinda new

[quick crown]

i was asking
where would i find coordinates for tools with good X mods?

do people post those coords in the first place? because i havent seen any on reddit

this feels like a better way to get ones that are actually upgrades, at least

[unreal wedge]

I think the nmsce Reddit would be the best place, if anyone has documented the mods attached, but generally they don't

[quick crown]

yeah, the subreddit only has shop layouts when i search for "X mod"

[unreal wedge]

I bought stacks of X-class ones from pirate stations and kept installing them until I got good rolls

[elder merlin]

Hey guys what is a good base damage potential for an A class multitool?

[unreal wedge]

It depends on the installed tech and whether or not it's supercharged, unfortunately you can't just look at the number

E.g. any tool with a scatterblaster installed is going to have high damage potential, but the tool itself might have a low base damage underneath

See #nms-multitools message for a little more info

[quick crown]

oh wow sentinel pillars are kinda amazing

exotic tools always spawn with the same seed, and the same rarity
so on this planet i always get an S rank that deconstructs into 3 slot upgrades for example

[flat monolith]

kind sir, would you mind donating them to the poor ?

[quick crown]

how many sentinel boundary maps do you have?

[flat monolith]

idk i will check later

[quick crown]

basically go to this address
put a base whereever
and then go to as many pillars as possible, and throw a save beacon on each of them

[flat monolith]

ty!

[gloomy lichen]

woah, never seen one with spikes

[mint wing]

Old find . Can be outdated

[tranquil zephyr]

Holy

[mighty monolith]

yeah ive found a few with crystals. they are out there

[gloomy lichen]

wowzers

[mighty monolith]

just looking, i got 2 more coming out this week

they come with horns also

[unreal peak]

Red experimental pistol

[sullen mauve]

"Light wear, barely used"

[mint wing]

The rarest are rifles with 4 crystals. None has been found through natural way from what i know

[leaden vortex]

@mighty monolith how would I find that specific galaxy? I don't quite know how to locate specific things quite yet

[tough hill]

Eissentam is the 10th galaxy, the easiest to get to it are:

1. Have someone "taxi" you there

2. Complete the artemis quest, and at the very end, ||do the final part of the quest line in Euclid, and choose lush galaxy when given the choice, that will land you in Eissentam||

3. Run a series of core warps of galaxies, starting from Euclid

[leaden vortex]

@tough hill thanks^-^ I suppose I should really do the story quest huh?

[tough hill]

Well doing the story really increases your mobility within the game and lets you benefit from any and every shared coordinates (not withstanding the galaxy they are in), since it also gives you all 16 portal glyphs, and eventually ||access to purple stars, which you cannot get to by any means without finishing the quest that unlocks it||

[unreal wedge]

You may also be able to find a featured base teleport from the anomaly

[swift sapphire]

Can you trade multi-tools?

[mighty monolith]

I see someone has answered you already , but further to this , there is a group called pan galatic star cabs that can give anyone a lift to any galaxy , but also , a real easy way , on the anomaly, and featured base currently listed is in eissentam , just teleport to it and then u can go off an drop a base on a planet and u can always get back to that galaxy

[leaden vortex]

@mighty monolith dude, thanks for the extra detail. I love collecting exotic MT's

[mighty monolith]

Well speaking of collecting , I'd really love a base part that actually displays multitools not just stores them . I wanna build a big base to show the hundreds ive found . I've asked HG , but so far, they haven't given us one. Oh well, it remains the dream

[leaden vortex]

@mighty monolith doesn't the "captain flint's ship" in the unofficial app have a weapon rack?

It's pretty small tho.

[mighty monolith]

No idea about that

The storage rack that HG gave us just shows generic weapons when you look at it , if u interact u can see what's in it . And u can only build a limited number of them per base . I've found 100s of s class tools and just want to wander around looking at them , let others visit etc

[obtuse loom]

Got a pleasant surprise to know my Atlantid weapon is a 2 + 2

literally the perfect balanced weapon

[split remnant]

what spell should i add onto my staff?

[slender aspen]

avada kedavra

[split remnant]

apprentice level spell smh smh

[lean steeple]

There spells? Add sunbeam:v

[split remnant]

hell yeah

[warm charm]

Spells? hmmm

Mend buttcrack
Connected no internet

Perhaps even cast "Sleep through alarm"

[haughty jackal]

How did u get that?

[split remnant]

u cant anymore, unless you do a bit of save editing (takes only 5 minutes with a notepad), or use NoMansApp

an website that lets you get some expedition goodies

[haughty jackal]

Ogg its an expedetion one

[tough hill]

Yep, expedition 12

Same one that gave Starborn Runner, atlas helm and backpack

[hollow coyote]

is this pretty good or nah

[tough hill]

It's the only staff I would use

[hollow coyote]

is that about as high as you can get the scanne range and damage for it tho?

or do i need to load it with illegal mods to get it even higher

[tough hill]

Scanner range is a very minor stat, the damage stat depends on what weapons you have installed, but generally it's considered to be flavor text than anything that's useful

E.g. neutron cannon can probably push that higher but it doesn't mean much apart from telling people that you have neutron cannon installed

I can try pushing it once I get back to my computer to see how damage potential can go, but again, it's not really a true indicator of damage

[hollow coyote]

ohhhhhhh

so i could possibly increase that number by slapping some blaze jav and other things im not using

[placid shuttle]

I had a neutron cannon list 81k before iirc, using only illegal parts and 3 sc slots

[tough hill]

It's possible but all that will do is add another thing to your weapon cycling list for zero gains

#nms-multitools message

This was mine with neutron cannon, pay no attention to the X rank, as it's max stat rolls are identical to its S rank so either works

I havent used that weapon in a while though, I am using a different tool with bootcaster now

*boltcaster but I am leaving the typo in

[knotty flax]

Reload restore on spacestation if you don't see this at first.

[alpine shore]

Weird question but for generalist multitools how do you guys use your supercharged slots?

I put the one mining tech that gives you more resources in one and the other two is X scanner modules for an increased base income

[sharp pawn]

depends mostly on the layout for me i use an Atlantid For my mineing and the Resource Thang

[tough hill]

If I were to limit myself to one tool fits all, they would all go onto weapons, because for Sentinel and Atlantid tools, they come with their own version of mining laser so you can install the normal mining laser to increase its mining speed even further, mitigating the need for SCing mining lasers at all

But I don't, so I SC the main function each tool is used for, so my mining tool SC optical drill and laser techs, my weapon MT SCs weapon techs and my Fauna scanner SCs the scanning reward upgrade techs

[vocal barn]

Needler from halo?!

[knotty flax]

Well, it's bones so it would be... I can't say hahahahaha

[mint wing]

Almost haha #nms-multitools message

[sterile bobcat]

rifle is a no go?

[tired apex]

Pewpew
