On foot only.

[Spoodie Bob]

It sounds familiar, If you can post a screenshot that would help.

[Harry]

Sorry alas I cant. It did seem to go after i changed multitool. but i think it was a fluke some how

[Spoodie Bob]

that's ok, might have been something for that multitool, a lot of symbols that appear are not explained very well, unless you do an internet search.

Although guessing games came be fun, next time get a screenshot so we can have a chance to identify it for you ;)

[wkitty42]

that's the personal shield or cloaking device... i think the cloaking device based on when it started appearing in-game... that and the observations posted here : https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Cloaking_Device

Despite the in-game description claiming that the Cloaking Device draws life support power, this does not appear to be the case. Instead, the Cloak has its own power meter that determines the amount of time you can use it within a short interval.

I had it whenever I equipped one of my multitools that had no weapons installed (other than the mining-beam). It would disappear when I switched to a weaponised tool.

That was on previous same though and it doesn't seem to happen on my current one.

Thanks one and all.

It seems to be the cloacking device.
Don't work buuuut I can see the thing is connected to it finally for sure.

Thanks again.

Now how to get this to work hummmm....

Assign it as your secondary weapon, then use right-click to activate it.

Very strange you should mention that.

Ok I have (thats say for example) two MLs'.

Both have the Cloak. Until literally just now every time I fire the Plasma Mortar using the Alternative key the mortar would fire.

On the other gun I didn't know how to use it so its never been used.

NOW! I just pressed the button to distroy the walker thing and he just looked at me and walked off.

I then realised the Mortar button has suddenly changed to the Cloak without me changing anything.

Phewwww. This game does have its Qwerks I must say. But at least now I know if I need it how the Cloak works.

Now to get the Plasma going again! grrrrrr

The choice of primary weapon will also determine the secondary weapon in use. If you change the primary weapon you will see the secondary type change as well for some of the primary weapons.
