Recharge With:

1.0 Release - Added as a technology.

1.07 - Fixed a rare issue when scanning creatures that would cause all planets to show as 100% complete even if you had only completed one. It is now easier to scan flying creatures.

1.09 - Improved framerate when scanning colossal structures, like a Manufacturing Facility or an Operations Centre.

1.1 Foundation - Prevented player being prompted to scan for buildings before leaving the star system after visiting the monolith.

1.3 Atlas Rises - Increased information available about scanned foliage and creatures.

1.32 - The power of Analysis Visor upgrades has been significantly improved, resulting in much higher rewards when scanning with Flora or Fauna upgrades.

1.33 - Improved binocular scanning for background objects.
Prevented binocular scanning flicking between multiple objects.
Added ability to scan all building types and fixed their displayed names.
Added ability to scan ships.

1.34 - Added the amount of units the player will earn for a discovery to the Analysis Visor interface.

1.35 - Prevented players being able to scan creatures through the terrain.
Fixed an issue causing extremely distant points of interest to show when scanning.
Fixed an issue where scanning buildings would not also scan nearby waypoints.
1.38 - It can now be used to scan farm plants and see the remaining growth time. It can scan ships to determine their class, type and value at a distance.

1.5 NEXT - Procedurally generated Analysis Visor Upgrades added, while Sigma/Tau/Theta upgrades removed.
Blueprint changed, formerly used Iron. Icon changed.
Additional markers visible in Analysis Visor.
Points of interest can be tagged from Analysis Visor.
Latitude/longitude displayed on Analysis Visor.
Scanning ships shows their slot count.
Improved scan ranges for biome specific plants.
1.55 - Reduced the time required to scan discoveries. Fixed an issue where the Multi-Tool glitched while going into the Analysis Visor.

1.57 - Fixed a number of visual issues around using the Analysis Visor in very specific circumstances.

1.58 - Fixed an issue that caused player ships to have incorrect information when viewed through the Analysis Visor.
Fixed an issue that caused Sentinels to appear as undiscovered creatures when viewed through the Analysis Visor.
Fixed the axes used to calculate planet coordinates shown on the Analysis Visor.
1.63 - Improved the visuals when highlighting objects with the Analysis Visor.

1.75 Visions - Added Natural Burial Sites and additional Hazardous Flora.

2.0 Beyond - Overhauled the Analysis Visor. Scanning of flora, fauna and minerals no longer begins automatically, but begins when the player holds a button while looking at the relevant object.
In VR, the Analysis Visor becomes Analysis Mode. Objects are scanned by aiming at them with the Multi-Tool.
Made butterflies and other flying creatures much easier to scan with the Analysis Visor.
Hidden changes: The cardinal directions are removed from the compass.
3.3 Expeditions - Added Target Sweep Mode.

Additional Info:

Survey Device - allows to scan for Hotspots with its Surveying Mode

The Analysis Visor is a core component of the Multi-tool that provides supplemental information on various objects: Fauna, Flora, Minerals, Points of Interest, Resource Deposits & Hotspots (in surveying mode).

Survey Device

Survey Device is a Multi-tool technology and an upgrade to the Analysis Visor. It enables the Surveying Mode, a real-time terrain analysis to the scanning array.

Scanner

Used to discover resources and points of interest.

Waveform Recycler

-20% Recharge Time
+11% Scan Radius

Waveform Recycler is a technology that increases the scan radius and decreases the recharge time of the Scanner.

Mining Beam

The default weapon installed on the multi-tool and it is an essential accessory used to expose and capture elements within planetary rock formations and vegetation. If not used carefully, the Mining Beam may result in sentinel scrutiny and aggression.Getting the mining beam closer to overheat will make it deal more damage.

Hijacked Laser

This Multi-Tool is made with material and methods known to no conventional manufacturer, its core a unfathomable array of impossible optics and glassy foam. Nonetheless, there is a layer of recognisable technology. It shows signs of having been tampered with by an unknown craftsman, who has repurposed its scanner array into a high-powered mining laser
Powered by Carbon-based Elements.

Damage - 150 x8
Mining Power - 30 x8

This shotgun-style weapon fires 8 projectiles at once in a wide spread, making it most effective in close range encounters such as charging animals or attacks by Sentinel Quads. It allows multiple targets to be damaged at once, but requires a reload after every three shots.

Shell Greaser

-15% Reload Time

Shell Greaser is a technology that augments the Scatter Blaster, a Multi-tool weapon.

Neutron Cannon

A charged energy weapon that does not use projectile ammunition, dealing short-range explosive damage in a fast-moving cone of destruction.

P-Field Compressor

+2.0 Ion Spheres Created
+22% Ion Sphere Speed

Adds additional Ion Spheres and bonus Sphere speed.

Incinerator

The Incinerator is a Multi-tool weapon which can currently not be obtained by normal means, but comes pre-installed on many multi-tools.
It is significantly overpowered against all enemies in the game & also affects fauna.
Note: Other weapons have since become more powerful. Given the Incinerator's lack of upgrades, it is nowadays a fairly disappointing weapon against many enemy types.

Solar Ray

The Solar Ray is a Multi-tool "weapon" acquired in Starbirth which allows conversion of metal deposits into Liquid Sun.

Animus Beam

A blue variant of the Mining Beam, its primary purpose is the extraction of Fragmented Qualia from fauna, a lethal process which forfeits normal creature resources such as Mordite and cooking ingredients.

Terrain Manipulator

The Terrain Manipulator is an attachment for the multi-tool which allows alterations to planetary terrain, both destruction and creation.

Plasma Launcher

The Plasma Launcher causes massive amounts of damage against entities both living and robotic.

Geology Cannon

The Geology Cannon causes massive damage to the terrain compared to the Terrain Manipulator.

Paralysis Mortar

+ Stun Damage

On impact, or a short time after launch, the Paralysis Mortar’s projectiles will explode in a flash of electric energy, temporarily stunning all entities caught in its blast radius.

Voltaic Amplifier

+ 21% Damage to Stunned Entities

Grants Extra damage against stunned enemies.

Combat Scope

Weapon Precision Enhancement.

Personal Forcefield

Adds a deployable shield as an alt-fire function to Multi-tool weapons. This shield nullifies all ranged attacks coming from the front, but disables weapon usage and incurs a heavy drain on Life Support while active (the percentage value associated with the shield in the heads-up display indicates how much Life Support is left).

Cloaking Device

+ Stealth

Causes the user to become temporarily invisible, allowing rapid escape from Sentinel forces, or for a quick tactical repositioning.

Fishing Rig

+ Fishing

Lost Angler's Rig

+ Fishing

Resonance Amplifier

Locates Sentience Echoes.
