Stats, effects & acquisitionReference coverage and sources
Decisions are limited to the supplied No Man’s Sky Wiki tables and excerpted contexts. The source mixes legacy update references with version 6.03 Corvette details; it does not establish a single edition or patch baseline. Some variants and class distinctions are explicit, while others are unlabeled in the table excerpts.
Counts describe the imported source tables. They do not establish complete coverage of every patch, DLC or upgrade variant. Multiple values remain labeled as listed values when the source does not identify their upgrade levels.

MAKE A USEFUL NEXT MOVE
Start here
Need to gather resources
If you are still gathering basic materials, start with the Mining Beam. If you need advanced substances, check the Advanced Mining Laser entry and confirm its current blueprint requirements in game.
Mining Beam Advanced Mining LaserExploring an unfamiliar planet
If you want to identify nearby resources or inspect scan results, begin with Scanner and Analysis Visor. The source describes Survey Device as a separate hotspot locating option.
Scanner Analysis Visor Survey DeviceChoosing a multitool weapon
If you are comparing combat options, use the stated firing style and range descriptions to narrow your choice: the Scatter Blaster is close range, while the Blaze Javelin is a beam weapon.
Scatter Blaster Blaze JavelinKNOW YOUR OPTIONS
Equipment & progression guides
Choose a topic to see how it works, where it helps and what to consider.
Mining Beam
The Mining Beam is the multitool's mineral extraction laser and mines basic resources. Its stated fuel is Carbon, making it the source-described starting point for ordinary resource gathering.
Understand this choiceAdvanced Mining Laser
The Advanced Mining Laser is described as a Mining Beam companion unit for mining advanced resources. It is a distinct technology choice when basic-resource gathering does not meet the stated need.
Understand this choiceTerrain Manipulator
The Terrain Manipulator is described as a terraforming device that adds or removes terrain and mines resource deposits, giving it both terrain-shaping and deposit-mining uses.
Understand this choiceGeology Cannon
The Geology Cannon is described as a terrain-destruction device for rapid ground excavation. It requires unstable plasma, according to the technology entry.
Understand this choiceScanner
The multitool Scanner is described as detecting resources essential for survival. It is the basic named scanning choice in the source's multitool exploration list.
Understand this choiceAnalysis Visor
The Analysis Visor is described as improving the HUD and detection abilities and enabling detailed scans. It extends the Scanner's stated resource-detection role with more detailed inspection.
Understand this choiceSurvey Device
The Survey Device is identified as a hotspot locating system. It is a distinct multitool scanning option when your goal is to locate hotspots rather than perform the source-described detailed scans.
Understand this choiceBoltcaster
The Boltcaster is an energy projectile weapon that uses Projectile Ammunition. The source compares its role to a pistol and names Barrel Ioniser as an upgrade.
Understand this choicePulse Spitter
The Pulse Spitter is described as a rapid-fire projectile weapon. The source names Amplified Cartridges as its upgrade, without stating the upgrade's effect.
Understand this choiceScatter Blaster
The Scatter Blaster is described as a close-range, wide-cone projectile weapon. Its source comparison is a shotgun, and Shell Greaser is listed as its upgrade.
Understand this choiceBlaze Javelin
The Blaze Javelin is described as an energy beam weapon recharged with Carbon. Mass Accelerator is named as its upgrade, though its effect is not given.
Understand this choiceCommon mistakes to avoid
Treating a companion technology as a full replacement
The source distinguishes the Mining Beam's basic-resource role from the Advanced Mining Laser's advanced-resource role. Check which kind of resource you need before choosing.
Expecting the named upgrade to have a known effect
Several weapon entries name an upgrade but do not describe what it changes. Verify the current in-game description before planning around that upgrade.
Assuming every scanner reveals the same information
The source assigns resource detection, detailed scans, and hotspot locating to different named technologies. Match the tool to the information you need.
