Buying a new multitool transfering the old laserupgrades?!

[PhiL]

Hi guys,

is it possible to transfer my old laser/modul upgrades to a new multitool?
I have found a really nice laser upgrade and the last time (before the new patch) I lost everything i my starting tool...

look at my screenshot. Current state:

I hope you can help me^^

Upgrades can not be transferred over, but you can dismantle the upgrades on the old tool to get some of the resources back.

damn okay =/ thanks! thats really bad...

Tbh I don't know why we can't transfer upgrades, it makes no sense, a multitool with a lot of upgrades would be thousands of nanites, and the mats for dismantling them are useless compared to hundreds of nanites per upgrade.

Right now the best thing to do is suffering for hours with just a few upgrades, waiting for a good multitool, and then buy upgrades for it.

Too me, it's just Game mechanics, too add a little logical depth to the game...

Your Current Multitool... Through how nanite technology works, Upgrades modules that you combine the nanites with, would molecularly "Fuse" to the multitool.

Nanites can only be used once on the pre-built upgrade module containing initiated and active Nanite receptors... the process is irreversible... save, for the base material resources (rare-metals and rare-earth minerals) that went into the making of the modules, that can only be extracted back out after they are disintegrated from the multitool housing.

Go play creative, use a save editor and a trainer, use cheat engine, idk, FFS you spoiled rat, THIS is the game mechanic, like it or not, if you dont like it, then is not a game for you, look something else.

[PhiL]

damn.... so you want to mute us because we don't have those mechanics we want? then maybe go away and don't comment in this thread?!

Those devs want feedback like this I think. Otherwise would there be an update in like 2.0?!

I totally understand why you cant transfer upgrades from both a logical and game balance point of view.

If you get your upgrades back there is no "should I change" when you see a better multi tool.

whoa, Whoa... calm down dude, no need for name call'in...

... it's not like OP was ask'in for something crazy like like, oh i don't know, stacking resources into a single slot up-to 10,000! ... that would be ridic... amiright?! :)

[PhiL]

thanks for your support!
I m sticking with the beginner tool because of this S-upgrade I found... it is now around 600 Nanit-things. that is really expensive I think^^. Now you can't farm Nanit-things (idk the english word) fast, the purple ressource is gone from the market (which you can transfer into Nanit) and the robots are also really rare now.^^

I read this yesterday and was similarly bummed, but the important thought that didn't occur to me and may help others with a similar concern is this: you can keep multiple multi-tools.

[Mr. Bufferlow]

As you progress in the game, the main issue is to actually keep finding stuff to spend credits and nanites on. Unless you switched to a C class tool, anything you have, even without the addons, is overpowered for anything in the game.

The RNG gods can be pissy about giving you the store bought ones you want, but it is all good.

[Guh~hey~hey~♫]

You dont really need to get ride of the starter multi-tool.... it's a pistol, so it has the best bonus for mining among all other types and the second best bonus to scanning (best being experimental).

Just upgrade it over time and you'll have a perfectly good multi-tool dedicated to mining and scanning, just get another one for your weapons...

Also rifle is the worst type of mylti-tool bonus wise..... it only give bonuses to damage and scanning, and both at the smallest score amongst all types..... if you want a good weapon MT, get an alien one.

found out today you can transfer backpack/ship/multi tool etc upgrade modules to your friends but you have to purchase them new and then transfer, no old ones unfortunately
