Fd:Mining Tools

Matter Manipulators
In addition to the starting manipulator which can be upgraded using the interface and Manipulator Modules, there are faster manipulators that can be constructed in the upgradable Tinkering Table line. Once built, they will replace the current Matter Manipulator, greatly increasing the efficiency of the matter manipulator, and "Resetting" upgrades in the "M.M Upgrade" tab. The currently build-able Manipulators are: the Morphite Manipulator, Quantum Manipulator, Precursor manipulator, and Master Manipulator.
 * Note: Not a full manipulator upgrade reset, If you switch to a previously used manipulator, upgrades will still be kept.


 * 1) Stock Manipulator


 * 1) Build-able Manipulators
 * Morphite Manipulator --5x5(Base) --Fast


 * Quantum Manipulator --6x6(Base) --Faster

Note: To equip new manipulators, you must Shift+right click while holding a Personal Tricorder, Then just grab the manipulator with your mouse and place it in one of the manipulator squares. It is also possible to place most items in the manipulator slots.
 * Master Manipulator --10x10(Base)--Fastest (needs confirmation)

Mining Lasers
The first of the tools, the Mining Laser, is built in the Matter Assembler then the following tools are upgrades in the Nano Fabricator. Note: They cannot directly mine the background and drain energy while active. Further, they only fire a mining beam via line of sight. The first few are very weak, but the later ones are quite strong.

Pickaxes
Where vanilla Pickaxes are available from Ursa Miner or as generated loot, FU's pickaxes are craftable at the Tinkering Table/Nano-Fabricator. Pickaxes are two-handed unlike Mining Lasers, but drain tool durability instead of energy to use and are able to target walls directly.

Ore Detectors
Ore detectors are an item that when used send out a pulse and highlight nearby ores. Higher tier detectors have a greater detection area. Note: The MKI is built at the Tinkering Table and the subsequent versions are upgrades in the Tool Upgrade Station. Each Tier Requires 6 more Manipulator Modules than the last.

Note: You can still make the vanilla starbound Ore Detector in the Agricultural Station
