S-Class 多用途工具

★★★★☆ 难度等级

24格实验型/皇家多用途工具。在空间站、定居点、护卫柱处获取。

1. 概览

S-Class 多用途工具 是无人深空中继 外骨骼 和飞船之后最重要的装备。

无人深空中的 多用途工具 分为四个等级：C、B、A 和 S。

  • Pistol: Compact, 10 slots max. Highest base mining bonus. Good for early-game resource gathering but limited weapon and tech space.
  • Rifle: Balanced, 24 slots max. Good all-rounder with solid damage and mining stats.
  • Experimental: 24 slots max. Highest scanner and mining bonuses in the game. Ideal for explorers and farmers who prioritize resource detection and extraction speed. Distinctive organic/alien appearance.
  • Royal/Alien: 24 slots max. Highest damage bonus in the game. Ideal for combat-focused players. Crystalline, ornate appearance with bone-like structures.
  • Sentinel: 24 slots max. Balanced stats with unique Sentinel-inspired appearance. Requires the Interceptor update content to unlock.

对大多数玩家来说，理想的 endgame 多用途工具 要么是 24-slot S-class Experimental，要么是 24-slot S-class Royal。

与本指南中大多数物品不同，你不是制作 S-class 多用途工具——而是找到它。

需要理解的关键机制是 多用途工具 'pool' 系统。

  • Wealthy/High Economy systems (3-star wealth): Higher chance of S-class spawns. These systems are marked with a filled-in economy icon on the 星系图.
  • High Conflict systems: Slightly higher chance of S-class 多用途工具s, especially Royal/Alien types.
  • Minor Settlements on wealthy planets: These have independent pools from the station, effectively doubling your chances per system.

这意味着最佳的 S-class 多用途工具 狩猎策略是找到富裕、高冲突的系统，并检查空间站机柜和每颗行星上的每个 Minor Settlement。

2. 配方与蓝图

由于 S-class 多用途工具 是找到而非制作的，'配方'部分涵盖如何生成、识别和获取它们。

Where S-Class 多用途工具s Spawn

Location 1: Space Station 多用途工具 Cabinet

每个空间站在主通道右侧都有一个 多用途工具 机柜。

空间站机柜从系统的主 多用途工具 pool 中抽取。

Location 2: Minor Settlement Weapon Rack

Minor Settlements 是行星表面上发现的小型前哨站。

要找到 Minor Settlements，使用带有 信号增强器 升级的 地面载具，或从空间站上的 Cartographer 购买 Settlement Charts（需要 Navigation Data）。

Location 3: 护卫柱 谐波营地s

在 Interceptor 更新中引入，谐波营地s 是与 护卫柱 地点相关的特殊结构。

Location 4: 废弃建筑s

一些废弃建筑在储物箱中装有损坏的 多用途工具。

How to Force an S-Class Spawn (Save Scumming Method)

获得 S-class 多用途工具 的最可靠方法被称为 'save scumming' 或 'save reloading'。

  1. Create a manual save at a 保存点 or Beacon before visiting the target location (Space Station or Minor Settlement).
  2. Visit the location and check the 多用途工具 cabinet/rack.
  3. If it is not S-class, reload your manual save. This resets the random roll.
  4. Repeat until an S-class spawns. In a wealthy system, this typically takes 10–30 reloads.

这种方法耗时但最终保证有效。

How to Claim Without Losing Your Current Tool

当你与 多用途工具 机柜互动并接受新工具时，你的旧工具将永远消失。

  1. Always check the new tool's slot layout and class carefully before accepting.
  2. If the new tool has fewer slots than your current one, it is probably not worth it unless the class jump is massive (e.g., C10 to S24).
  3. Consider carrying a cheap 'disposable' C-class tool for exploration, keeping your main tool safe in your inventory until you find a worthy upgrade.

3. 材料与获取方式

实际需要的东西 (不是材料)

找到 S-class 多用途工具 需要准备，而非制作材料。

🧭 Navigation Data

Total needed: 10–15

来源: Drop Pod coordinate data, Cartographer on stations, 信号增强器 scans

备注: Used to purchase Settlement Charts from the Cartographer. Each chart marks a Minor Settlement on your current planet.

💰 Units (for comparison shopping)

Total needed: 0 (多用途工具s are free to claim)

But: Carry 5+ million Units to buy upgrade modules once you get your new tool.

备注: The 多用途工具 itself is free, but you will want to buy S-class upgrade modules immediately.

💎 Nanites

Total needed: 5,000–10,000

来源: Upload discoveries, refine Platinum, complete missions

备注: Each S-class 多用途工具 upgrade module (螺栓发射器, 采集光束, 扫描仪, etc.) costs 480 Nanites. You will want 10–20 modules.

⏱️ Patience

Total needed: Infinite

来源: Within

备注: Save scumming takes 10–30 reloads on average. Up to 100+ in unlucky cases.

立即购买的多用途工具升级模块

一旦你获得 S-class Multi-Tool，前往空间站 多用途工具 Technology Merchant。

  • 螺栓发射器 S-Class Upgrade (×3): +15% damage each, max +45% with adjacency bonus. Essential for combat.
  • 采集光束 S-Class Upgrade (×3): +15% mining speed each. Turn your tool into a resource-harvesting monster.
  • 扫描仪 S-Class Upgrade (×3): +10,000% scan value per fauna/flora. A single creature scan can yield 500,000+ Units with full upgrades. This is one of the best income sources in the game.
  • Plasma Launcher S-Class Upgrade (×2): For terrain manipulation and Sentinel combat.
  • Waveform Recycler (if available): Reduces 采集光束 heat generation, allowing continuous fire.

4. 最优采集路线

这条路线最大化你在最短时间内找到 S-class 多用途工具 的几率。

Phase 1: System Selection (5 minutes)

  1. Open the 星系图 — Press M. Ensure you have the 经济扫描仪 installed on your starship (purchased from the 飞船 Technology Merchant for Nanites).
  2. Filter for Wealthy Systems — Look for systems with a 3-star economy rating (the icon shows three filled dots or a 'wealthy' descriptor). These have the highest S-class spawn chance. Also look for 2-star or 3-star conflict levels.
  3. Warp to a target system — Choose a wealthy, high-conflict system within your warp range. If you have the 铟驱动 or 艾梅里尔驱动, you have more options. Even 镉驱动 systems can work — the economy tier matters more than the star color.
  4. Note the system name and economy type — Write it down or take a screenshot. If this system does not work, you will want to remember which ones you have checked.

Phase 2: Space Station Check (10 minutes)

  1. Fly to the Space Station — Dock and exit your ship to create an autosave.
  2. Create a manual save — Use the station's 保存点 (usually near the teleporter) to create a manual save. This is your scum point.
  3. Check the 多用途工具 cabinet — Walk to the right side of the concourse. Interact with the cabinet. Note the tool's class, type, and slot count.
  4. If not S-class: reload manual save — Open menu → Options → Reload Manual Save. The cabinet will reroll.
  5. Repeat up to 30 times — If no S-class spawns after 30 reloads, this system's primary pool may not contain a high-tier tool. Move to Phase 3.
  6. If S-class: evaluate before claiming — Check the slot layout. An S-class with only 10 slots is a Pistol type and not worth it for endgame. Look for 20+ slots (Rifle, Experimental, or Royal).

Phase 3: Minor Settlement Sweep (30–60 minutes)

  1. Purchase Settlement Charts — Talk to the Cartographer NPC on the station (near the Mission Board). Buy 5–10 Settlement Charts using Navigation Data. If you lack Navigation Data, scan for artifacts using your 信号增强器 on each planet.
  2. Visit each planet — Land on Planet 1. Use a Settlement Chart from your inventory. It will mark the nearest Minor Settlement with a waypoint.
  3. Fly to the Settlement — Land, enter the building, and check the weapon rack behind the NPC at the desk.
  4. Save scum each settlement — Before entering the building, create a manual save with your portable 保存点 (crafted from 1 Metal Plating). Check the rack. If not S-class, reload. Repeat 10–20 times per settlement.
  5. Check all planets — A system with 4 planets has 4 Minor Settlement pools. Each is independent. Check them all before giving up on the system.

Phase 4: 护卫柱 Check (Optional, 20 minutes)

  1. Clear a 护卫柱 — If you have already unlocked 护卫柱 encounters (see our 护卫外骨骼 guide), clear one in the current system.
  2. Check for 谐波营地 — After clearing, search the surrounding area (within 500 units) for a 谐波营地 structure.
  3. Check the 多用途工具 — 谐波营地s have their own 多用途工具 spawn points. These are always Sentinel-type tools and can be S-class.

Phase 5: Move to Next System (If Needed)

  1. Return to the 星系图 — Find another wealthy, high-conflict system.
  2. Repeat Phases 2–4 — Most players find an S-class 多用途工具 within 3–5 systems.

凭借坚持和这种系统化的方法，你将在几小时内拥有一把 24-slot S-class 多用途工具。

5. 注意事项与技巧

⚠️ Your Old 多用途工具 Is Gone Forever

当你获取新的 多用途工具 时，旧的将被永久删除。

⚠️ Not All S-Class Tools Are Equal

10 slots 的 S-class Pistol 客观上来说比 24 slots 的 A-class Experimental 更差。

  1. Slot count (24 is max — aim for 20+)
  2. Type (Experimental for scanning/mining, Royal for combat, Rifle for balanced)
  3. Class (S is best, but A with more slots is often better)
  4. Slot layout (adjacent clusters are better for upgrade module placement)

⚠️ Upgrades Do Not Transfer

当你更换时，旧 多用途工具 上安装的所有升级模块都会丢失。

⚠️ Reloading Changes the Pool

在空间站进行 save scumming 有效，因为机柜每次都从相同的系统 pool 中重新抽取。

💡 Pro Tip: Check the NMS Coordinate Exchange

无人深空社区维护着一个包含已确认 S-class 多用途工具 坐标的庞大数据库。

💡 Pro Tip: Carry Two 多用途工具s

虽然你无法储存旧的 多用途工具，但你可以同时拥有两把并在它们之间切换。

💡 Pro Tip: 扫描仪 Upgrades Are the Best Income

Experimental 多用途工具 上的三个 S-class 扫描仪 升级使动物扫描变得异常有利可图。

6. 额外收益与解锁内容

获得 S-class 多用途工具 解锁了一系列游戏体验的改进，触及无人深空的每个方面。

即时收益

  • +40% Base Damage: S-class 多用途工具s deal 40% more damage than C-class right out of the cabinet, before any upgrades. This makes a huge difference in early-to-mid game combat.
  • +35% Mining Speed: Harvest resource deposits in seconds rather than minutes. Large Gold or Activated Indium deposits that take 30 seconds with a C-class tool take 10 seconds with an S-class.
  • 24 Technology Slots: Fit three full sets of S-class upgrade modules (螺栓发射器, 采集光束, 扫描仪) with room to spare. C-class tools max at 10 slots — barely enough for one weapon and the mining beam.
  • Expanded 扫描仪 Range: Detect fauna, flora, and minerals from much farther away. Red planet exploration time by half.

解锁活动

  • Fauna Scanning for Profit: With three S-class 扫描仪 upgrades, scanning fauna becomes one of the highest income-per-hour activities in the game. A Lush planet with 14 fauna species can yield 6–8 million Units in under 20 minutes. No farming, no refining, no crafting — just walk around and scan.
  • Sentinel Combat Farming: S-class 螺栓发射器 upgrades let you destroy Sentinel Drones in a single eye-shot and Quads in 3–4 hits. This makes 护卫柱 farming and 5-star wanted level survival actually profitable rather than suicidal.
  • Rapid Resource Extraction: S-class 采集光束 upgrades turn your tool into an industrial harvester. Large deposits disappear in seconds. Essential for Activated Indium farm construction where you need thousands of metal units.
  • Terrain Manipulation at Scale: With a Plasma Launcher and S-class upgrades, you can reshape entire mountains in minutes. Useful for base building, road construction between bases, and creative landscaping.

后期解锁内容

  • Endgame Combat Builds: With 24 slots, you can install a full 螺栓发射器 suite, a full Scatter Blaster suite, and a full 采集光束 suite simultaneously. No more swapping weapons at cabinets — you have everything in one tool.
  • Explorer's Income Stream: The 扫描仪 upgrade path turns every new planet into a potential 5–10 million Unit payday. Combined with the 停滞装置/聚变点火器 crafting chain, you can generate 50+ million Units per hour.
  • Sentinel Technology Synergy: The S-class Royal 多用途工具 pairs perfectly with the Sentinel 外骨骼 upgrades (see our 护卫外骨骼 guide). The combined damage output makes you unstoppable against any enemy in the game.
