Terrain 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.

How it works

The technology list identifies the Terrain Manipulator as a terraforming device and describes two actions: adding or removing terrain, and mining resource deposits. It does not state crafting costs, mining limits, or controls in the supplied evidence.

When it helps

If your task involves changing terrain or extracting a resource deposit, this tool matches the source's stated uses. Check the in-game entry for current operating details before relying on it.

The tradeoff

Its listed role is terrain manipulation and deposit mining; the source does not describe it as a general mineral extraction laser.

Your next step

Review its current multitool description and identify whether your target is a deposit or ordinary resource.
