In No Man’s Sky the Multi-Tool can be upgraded to improve mining efficiency, scan flora & fauna and use it as a weapon (shoot energy bullets, grenades, scattershot).
Upgrade Multi-Tool Inventory Space:
Buying a new Multi-Tool from alien facilities or space stations will always increase the number of available inventory slots. With the purchase of each new multi-tool you will start seeing better versions. They get +2 inventory slots per new purchase (slightly varies). You should deconstruct all your enhancements before you go shopping. You can’t take your crafted enhancements with you, they get lost! Also, deconstructing means the multi-tools offered to you will come with less enhancements installed and are cheaper (you can craft them by yourself to save money). You can also get lucky during conversations and receive a new multi-tool as a gift from an alien. Whenever there’s an option to hand over your multi-tool, do it! The alien will offer you an improved version for free. If it doesn’t have more slots, leave it. Multi-Tools in space stations require the Atlas Pass V3 to open the locked doors.
Craft Multi-Tool Blueprints:
These will make your mining beam last longer, increase range, decrease cooldown time, turn your tool into a weapon, add grenades, scanners, analysis tool and more. After getting the blueprints you must craft them. Lining up multiple upgrades of the same type in your inventory gives bonuses (they will light up yellow when done correctly).
- There’s a free upgrade in every space station.
- On planets: almost every alien facility / outpost / building has a Multi-Tool tech console in it (same as space stations).
This is what the upgrade consoles look like:
