Master Manipulator

Master Manipulator is an upgrade of vanilla Matter Manipulator. It is one of the six Artifacts, powerful and immensely advanced devices created by the Cultivator as a gift for six alien species. The Master Manipulator was gifted to humanity, who based their own Matter Manipulators on it.

It is the best manipulator in the game. It starts with 10x10 area and has exceptional range and mining speed. It can challenge even the highest-tier Mining Laser.

You can replace existing Matter Manipulator by using Shift+right click on the Personal Tricorder and moving it into the Matter Manipulator's slot.

Upgrades

 * It doesn't matter if previous Matter Manipulator had some upgrades like "+300% speed" - a newly installed Master Manipulator starts from a clean slate (no speed/distance/area upgrades), with the exception of Wiring Mode, Paint Mode and Liquid Collection (only these 3 upgrades are retained).
 * After you install Master Manipulator, you can upgrade it further (with upgrades like "+300% speed"). For example, its mining area can be increased up to 13x13.
