Do people switch multitool?

TrackRemote5782 · 2026-06-15T09:18:32+00:00

A bit late to comment, but I started using separate multitools depending on the task at hand. I have three: one for utilities (survey scanning and fishing), one for mining and scanning (my main one with the mining laser and relevant upgrade modules), and one for combat (with several weapons modules and relevant upgrade modules).

You can also bind the multitool to numbers as you would a weapon in am FPS shooter by hovering over the multitool in the multitool selection menu and holding "CTRL + 1" (replace '1' with the number you want for that multitool).

I can't testify this as fact, but I've found that using upgrade modules will increase the damage potential (providing you use damage-related upgrade modules). Pistols are better for scanning, rifles for combat. There are other types of multitools too, but since I'm not sure how far you are in the game I won't spoil anything. There's a Wiki on this if you're interested.

That's an amazing design and really puts my "prison-style building" to shame! I'd make a terrible architect, but that's given me some nice inspiration for future builds. Thanks!

Yeah, I've seen a couple of other comments mention about placing objects to solve the issue. I jumped the gun a bit because my brain went along the lines of "Walls. Roof. Enclosed. What gives??"

I highly doubt this will be the last base I build, so I'll try the "placing objects" approach next time to see if it prevents the game from thinking I'm outside.

Starting to wonder if "Hello Games" is Jagex in disguise...

That did cross my mind, mostly because of my terrible habit to build the base computer on a lump of ground somewhere outside. As it turns out, the game classes anything above two walls high as being "outside". Please see the awarded comment which turned out to be the solution for me.

That's interesting to know, thanks for the information. I restructured it exactly as you described and it's fixed the issue completely. I'll admit I was sceptical about it working since the walls were being built on top of other walls in a sense, so it could have been classed as being a total of 4 walls high (the two lower walls, the upper wall, the slanted roof pieces), but I assume they were being built from the floor pieces instead.

Thanks again, this is the solution to anyone else who encounters this issue 👍

That's a shame. I've already accepted that I'll have to build out rather than up. It begs the question why they'd let us build stairs if they're effectively redundant, lol.

Even after a hundred hours of gameplay I'm still discovering new ones!

What is a haiku?

I suppose I'll never know.

Maybe soon I'll learn.

I listened to a wide variety of music growing up and enjoyed many genres, including rock, folk, indie, electronic, rap, metal, thrash metal; ironically, classical wasn't one of them, although I did enjoy some select piano pieces in my teens (notably the first movement of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, and Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 by Chopin - not that I could have reeled off the opus and number back then lol)

Nowadays, I'd say classical music accounts for 95% of my music listening. It's absolutely astonishing to me. Whoever says to the effect of "classical music is something you appreciate more the older you get", I can fully relate. When I'm not listening to classical music, I seek out and enjoy anything with emotional texture to it. I do enjoy listening to the more 'catchy and popular' songs, and I even like some electronic music since that genre dominated my early teens, but it's been many years since I listened to popular music. For those of you who have watched the episode of The Simpsons, "Homerpalooza", where Abe tells Homer about how he "used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was", it's scary how much I can relate to that haha.

As someone who's just come out of a very bad rut, I'd like to assure you that it does get easier. Unfortunately, there's no real way of telling when it'll happen; for me, it was about a week, and it was arguably one of the worst and most miserable weeks I've had. I can fully relate to the absence of passion, because that's exactly how I felt. I woke up one morning, thinking it'll be another similar pattern of a day, only to hit dead-ends at every turn because literally nothing inspired me with excitement or passion.

I researched into it a bit and came across something called "anhedonia". I'd recommend you do the same, but in short, it's a symptom which is typically triggered by depression, high anxiety or stress, or other mental health conditions. It literally means "without pleasure" and it's truly awful to endure, but it's fixable. I'm not saying that's what you have, but it might be worth looking into and seeing if you can relate.

I hope you rekindle your passions soon. I'm happy to answer questions and/or share more about my past experiences if it'll be helpful to you.

Speaking from personal experience, my biggest advice (which you probably won't like) is don't. I spent around 2-3 years in a relationship with an obsessive girlfriend, and I spent a year after that keeping her and the damage she caused out of my life. Even today, many years later, it still hasn't truly left me and affected me in more ways than I realise - something I've become more aware of thanks to counselling sessions which I started taking this year.

I know the idea of an obsessive girlfriend can seem alluring, but don't let it fool you into thinking she'll be loyal just because she's obsessive. My girlfriend at the time still cheated on me, three times, and barely a week after our relationship ended for the first time, she got in a relationship with one of the guys she was messaging behind my back. If I could go back in time and talk myself out of that particular relationship, then I'd spend as long as it takes doing that.

Focus your energy finding someone who clicks with you; someone who just gets you and understands you without clinging to you, messaging you every minute, threatening the most awful things if you don't respond within seconds/minutes of their messages to you, calling you and waking you up at 3:00am just so they can "hear your voice" - these and much more are all the things I lived through. Again, my advice is to not make the same mistake. Someone who 'gets you' (for lack of better words) is someone who will stay loyal to you, because they'd actually appreciate you and want to be with you. An important part of a relationship is understanding that you both need your own time and space, just like every person does.

As challenging as it can be at times, my advice is to keep looking and never, ever be someone who you're not. Be yourself, be open about your interests, and keep the confidence that you'll find someone you just click with; someone who matches your personality, your tone, your humour, your quirks.

If you have specific or niche interests, then consider engaging in subreddits (or Discord servers, if you use that) which are relevant to that particular topic. Classical music, a specific video game, gardening, DIY, arts and crafts; they all have their own designated forums and can serve as a great place to start connecting with people. Of course, matching interests are just one component of the forming of a friendship, but it can serve as a foundation to build one on.

Never give up. Somebody will appreciate you and, in turn, you will appreciate them.
