How to upgrade Terrain Manipulator?

[Cubez]

It runs out so fast, are there any upgrades for them?

depending on what your using it for i got some advice.

scroll your mouse wheel all the way down for mining stuff up. it IS slower, but overall you'll get more out of the node and your charge will last longer as a result.
for comparison, i hit a copper node with the largest size and got about 100 copper, the smaller cutting size resulted on a node of similar size of about 220, and thats clean pickins on both.

otherwise all you can do is charge it only with magnetised ferrite, its far more efficient than using dust or pure.

and stay away from geology cannon for mining. it makes a massive dent but yields only 1 unit of material per grenade.

What he said.

However I love the geology cannon for shananigans with friends.

lol true that. i have enough problems with plasma though.

RIGHT CLICK TO EXIT MENU

*chunk*

BOOM! your dead go back to last save.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Watched my friend suicide earlier doing exactly that. Was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious. Perhaps we should submit a ticket? Then again suicide is probably lower priority than the apparent grief wars going around...

That's me. 7 times at a market terminal.

You can put an accuracy scope in the multitool to have a different option than just the grenade launcher. That give you something to change to using the middle mouse button other than the launcher.

It won't help if you forget to switch over thought :/

Get used to it. HG changed things to make it more fiddly/grindy. I have to refill my Launch thruster every other use... Really? The first most used ship resource in the game only stores two charges?

I found using my control helped mend this. While I hate using t he ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing it does help. Sure I could change keybindings on my board but I'm too lazy for that O.o

And you can stack 20 launch thruster charges into a single inventory slot instead of only 3 or 4 charges as before Next.

Some of their stupid ass choices seriously tempt me to save edit. I detest cheating in any game featuring multiplayer so I won't.

No upgrades for terrain map per say.

I think does benefit from tool upgrades.

Nice that it has a purpose now. Pre update it was rarely used.

Glad that I'm not the only one. Why plasma should auto select anyway?

There are upgrades for the terrain tool. You can install three of them max. You can usually find them reliably in stations. However I find the scanner to be the best tool to upgrade as I net 250K+ per scan. Assuming you need income.

I'm getting 4 charges, but yeah this is not my favorite thing. I want to explore a planet but it feels like there is a penaly for landing. I've just started the game and I am already comepletely sick of harvesting di-hydrogen. Does this continue forever?

once you get geology cannon, you will use it much less, but beware, its deadly, can kill yourself with it very easy if you dont know what you are doing, but amazing for fast excavations of any kind, especially with supreme addon upgrade, but 1 hit kills you then, be careful

The only use I've seen so far for Di-hydrogen is for launcher fuel. Harvest Di-hydrogen and make 20 launcher fuel charges. Then forget about Di-H until you're down to a couple of launcher fuel charges.

That is at least 80 launches from non-launch pad launches. You can also get ship upgrades to get more launches out of a single charge. I find this to be one of the better changes in Next.
