Oops. I lost my terrain manipulator

[swingline]

Well, I did a dumb thing. I lost my terrain manipulator that was gifted to me on a multitool early in teh game (from a monument). I was going about reorganizing things on my multitool when I learned adjacency of the modules matters. So I deleted stuff and was reinstalling everything in an orderly way.

But.. I didn't realize that even though I had the terrain manipulator, if I removed it I wouldn't be able to add it back. To do that I guess I'd need a blueprint. I suppose it's not like popping a module out and putting it back in in a new place.

Check nanite vendors. For ex i have it and don't needed, but i cannot find grenade blueprint...

you should visit multitool blueprint vendors... i think vy'keen... and look if they sell the terrain manipulator blueprint.

make sure you have a good standing and plenty of nanites to spend.

I mistakenly disposed of my own terrain manipulator before I knew it was needed. I can confirm that you can get a blueprint for it by checking at Vy'Keen stations as Eternal and eMYNOCK suggested.

Anyone doing multitool / exosuit dismantling of good items: The interface only shows you what is not installed yet, so you cannot say if you have a blueprint for something that is installed. Save the game before dismantling important stuff, and reload if you make a mistake.

This can easily happen when you find a better multitool, because you dismantle everything on your old one first (up here it's all ok), but then: you may want to move some upgrades to other slots on the new one: you have to know if you have the blueprints, otherwise it's gone :)

I wish the Manipulator blue print was easier to find as I hate the fact that the Manipulator is on the same button as swapping between mining beam and boltcaster. I can't tell you how many times I almost terrained a sentinel in the face. So I regularly either take it off or leave it broken when it breaks.
I just need to learn the damn thing so if I ever actually want it I can install it.

You get a terrain manipulator blueprint through one of the main quests pretty early on. The moment in the story when you're going to those communicator nodes to talk to those NPC's up on the towers, when you're given the quest to start buliding a base, you're very close in the quest line to recieve the terrain man. blueprint. Much quicker to get it this way, then hope on RNG through weapon vendors.
