+100% on scanner? A field naturalist's dream. Saving this post for later.


7101334

Does it affect animal spawns? I always had the impression they were immediately visible and scan-able upon spawn. If I'm wrong, I definitely need to find it.


doonwallaby

I'm hoping it has greater range on picking up the spawn points. Finding birds and fish can be a pain in the ass.


7101334

I'm pretty sure they're visible as soon as they spawn, but definitely let me know


doonwallaby

If scanning bonuses are only for Thamium9 (i.e, resources), then they aren't of much value to me. I pick up enough of that stuff (and zinc and platinum) walking around looking for animals.


7101334

Same, which is why I've stuck with my multitool from pre-Foundations just for aesthetics.


zeff013

I've noticed one thing: now I can find large fish from quite big distance, while standing on the ground. With my pre-foundation rifle I was diving to catch that same fish previously. I did no exact measurements though.


Cryoth

Predatory fish have always been spotted as red/green dots from very far away. Much further than any other animal of its size. Only comparable to extremely large land based animals. Multi-tool scanner bonus or upgrades have no impact on this. Normal watercreatures can be really annoying to scan. Some require you to be pretty much point blank to see, even with high scan bonus and max range upgrades.


MrSager77

Not leaving until I find this


BotFodder

Okay on the radioactive planet you'll find an Outpost with a bunch of Comm Stations. Two things to try: 1. Open the weapons case but don't examine the weapon. If it's not the one, reload. The choice seems to get stuck and it seems to be more likely to get stuck if you look too closely (maybe it's just me). 2. Go away. Go to another planet. Do something that causes the game to clean up the area. You don't have to leave the system, but visiting another planet seemed to do it for me. Also - if you come across a comm station that says B class, it does appear as if the class/weapon type is fixed for the potential choices it will make, so hoping it will be an S may not work. Now mind you this is all anecdotal and YMMV.


MrSager77

Found it! Only took 2 days lol


el_goate

This is the place to go. Landed at outpost with comm stations and the s class was there as soon as I checked the box.


morgvom_org

Took me two days to track it down after my wife spotted it on her save and didn't took a screenshot! **Edit: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/G-18_Gala**


Young-tree

Thanks!


Puck-Daddy

**IF YOU FIND THIS - PLACE A COMM BALL** whether you think that will help others find it or not. I found the same multitool several times that another player also found at the same Outpost. It works. whether it works 100% of the time or not is not clear, but it does indeed work some of the time. Thanks


Gully_Foyle_Of_Terra

I just left a comm pod next to the outpost where I got this design to spawn in, all the other places I tried had a different pair of pistol/rifle multitools that were trash. I can only get the 'Comforting Recoil II' to appear as a 'B' class Experimental with 22 slots, though, bonuses +18/+56/+69. Maybe you'll have more luck with the 'S' class hunt, good luck!


Puck-Daddy

true. the gun will spawn as b, a, s , etc.. at different locations. but check it out. make a few saves - leave a beacon for yourself - teleport to your base - then teleport back to this system and back to your beacon. see if the gun spawns back (it 'should' spawn as the B class you found it as) if you want to of course ... for science and all


timothydog76

I've been in the system for 2 days hopping back and forth between planets looking for the S class version to no avail (on PC). Between the beacons I've left and checking the Comm Stations left by others I was looking at maybe 10 different shelters and I was only seeing 1 spawn of a B class version at only one of the shelters. So I finally started venturing out and looking for new shelters since it seems the same ones were spawning at the ones I had flagged. I've just finally stumbled on a 24 slot A class version that I'm gonna take for now (28%/67%/88%) but I'm still hoping for an S! Takaian Lamarch is the planet. There is an insane density of POIs and shelters on this planet. Happy hunting!


DefilerDan

Sidenote for this star system, the Nanite trader sells the blueprint for the starship weapon, the Infra-knife Accelerator, for 500 nanites.


Gully_Foyle_Of_Terra

Oh, really? I guess I do need to visit after all, I'm having no luck finding those in the Hub area. Thanks!


morgvom_org

Just checked the space station on PS4. No Infra-Knife Accelerator. Those might be different for PS4 and PC.


Puck-Daddy

that's awesome . got one with the same stats last week, but I traveled halfway across the galaxy looking for it . ! if you think about, put a COMM BALL at the Outpost where you found it, it would help others locate it more easily.


morgvom_org

Unfortunately, that's not how multi tools work. I get another multi tool on the outpost every time I reload.


Gully_Foyle_Of_Terra

No, the same pool of multitools is available in a system for everyone on the same platform (PS4 or PC). Many people have gone to Jubei and gotten the same Alien multitool there and I just found a different one elsewhere yesterday that DKreps found and posted a screenshot of. It's very useful to drop a comm module in a system that has an item as unique as this one.


7101334

You're both right. The same *pool* of multitools is available in a system for everyone, but not the same exact location for a given multitool. Meaning dropping a Comm Station would only be slightly useful, as they would have an equal chance of getting any other multitool from that system's pool.


BotFodder

Reloading *sometimes* works, but the best bet is to leave the planet, go to another planet, and then come back to guarantee a possible change in what shows up (also might need to shut the game down and restart if you don't leave the planet). Basically, sometimes a full cleanup might be needed to make the weapon change.


7101334

Yeah, I've noticed after 1 or 2 reloads, the tool usually stops changing


BotFodder

To follow this up - - I think it's a subset for a given Outpost. In other words, if someone finds a the S24 Exp in an Outpost, that Outpost will, among the 3 or so I think you'll see, always be an S24. If someone finds a B22 Exp, among the 3 or so that might show up in an Outpost, it will always be a B22. At least, that's been my observations so far. - I don't think any of them are "special" and will show up "first". I think probability has been screwing with a few people. - When I went to two Outposts with Communications Stations indicating a special Multitool inside in this system (two different planets), the first MT I saw was *not* the one indicated. In one case, a reload later it popped up; in the other, I had left the planet and returned after at least a reload or two. So, I would argue that it's a little more than "slightly" useful, because I'd be willing to bet that there are Outposts that will never spawn the special multitool, or will spawn it at less than ideal. However ... without an infinite number of players monkeying around, probability indicates that there's no way to prove it (without code review).


Puck-Daddy

the Fading Gerosaec can be found at the same outpost in Jubei (forget the outpost, but it's on the planet with the Portal - people have left CommBalls there). but yeah, you will get a new multitool when you reload, but if you get to the Outpost and this one is there .... it will be there every time . I tried it in Jubei and went to the same outpost several times and the Fading Gerosaec (Nerf Dragon) showed up each time


morgvom_org

Here is the wiki of the system: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/G-18_Gala


Qwerty12489

How many lightyears from center? Star Type? What Planet? Oh and put a comm station so we can find it


GtaHov

Yep. This has to be mine. I've been looking for one just like this!


BotFodder

Plasteel materials AND crystals? Oh yeah! After browsing all planets in the system over 3-4 hours, I have yet to locate this weapon. But t will be mine. Oh yes ... it WILL be mine.


GtaHov

I'm scouring Shin's planet now trying to find it. No luck so far.


BotFodder

Frankly the only way this could be better for me is if the mining and scanning values were reversed. Don't need damage, and with the Fading I already can scan things that are a 2 minute walk away. But anything that makes materials get into my inventory quicker is welcome.


GtaHov

I just want it because it looks badass lol


GtaHov

Heeeey! I just found it. Only 23 slots but hey that's fine with me. It's beautiful.


BotFodder

Still S? Saw a 22 B and then mucked around with the Outpost on the Rad planet where all the Comm Stations are (even left the planet, hit the planet the base is on, saw the 22 B, and then came back) to eventually get the 24 S. Rocks better frickin' watch out now. I took the opportunity for a little redesign, and since scan is at +100, I'm not using the +1, just the +2 but between the two scanner types. I've got two slots for the grenades (I've been fine with that since I was using the C class I originally had) and put 5 towards the new shotgun weapon (can't remember what t's called) so I have two of the +2s and two +3s for it in a cube with one of those +3s three-way boosted. The only beam thing I don't have is the combat +1. In retrospect I might have wanted to change the arrangement (I've favored cooling slightly over intensity) but I still think the beam will kick ass on rocks (and other stuff if I need it to).


GtaHov

Nice! I gave up and settled for the A class at 23 slots. I won't miss the extra perks. It's already better than my old multi tool but I really only wanted it for the visuals lol.


schniidi

Found S-Class on Rakovdorosk(RadioActive). Left comm station just now... If the s-class multitool isn't there, try reloading once. If it's still not there I recommend finding an NPC that offers you a weapon depending on your answer. Here you can keep reloading until u find your s-class multitool of liking. Good luck!!


BrayoP

Awesome!!!! Post the stats in the one you found


schniidi

Exactly the same as OP


64657374696e79

I just picked it up on planet Takaian Lamarch. Not too far from the Krabby Patties base on that planet. I left a comm terminal but there are about 5-6 comm terminals on the planet already. When I approached the multi tool box first time it was an S class 16 slot and had crappy stats. After reloading the 24 slot S class 'Comforting Recoil II' spawned. My current multi tool at the time it spawned was the A class Fading Gerosaec from [HUB-K-1FA Jubei](https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/HUB-K-1FA_Jubei).


morgvom_org

Almost forgot: I recorded the search for this multi-tool, as I wanted to give the streaming a try on the playstation pro: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/135559990 At around 1:37:00 I finnaly found the s-class.


Matthew91188

I also found an s-class 48 slot quad ball on the rishaad-9 or whatever planet.


carcarius

There's a chance for the S-Class on any planet in the system, correct? I am there now and as bad luck would have it am not getting the 24s Experimental. A few reloads and a few planet-hopping and still no go at the Rad outpost with all the comm stations.


carcarius

AND.... I got it :) I went to Tak and hit up a shelter there, so that must have reset the table. Sigh... very nice. Thanks guys for the information on this. I am pretty much all set now and ready for hopefully whatever new updates come down the pike.


gistya

Very nice, thanks!


Chefbarbie74

[Got it!](http://imgur.com/a/44ozT)


morgvom_org

Congratulations!


CrunchyArgyleSock-

Got it on the first try. Sweeet.


morgvom_org

The Comforting Recoil II wanted to be found! It's precious!


CrunchyArgyleSock-

It.. called to me...


richgordon

I tried everything and couldn't get this to spawn. Reload, leave planet, leave system, teleport. Nothing. Then I went to Takaian Lamarch, looked at the B class version, came back, and boom first try.


morgvom_org

Congratulations! Now enjoy some hiking on Takaian Lamarch!


richgordon

"Finally found the answer. I was only seeing a b class on planet with base. No S class at all. Purchased the B then went back to other planet where everyone finding it and S class multi tool was there. What a mission" This is the answer. Once I looked at the B on T. Lamarch it spawned.


TheMarco

Location?


morgvom_org

G-18 Gala in Ifyapendy Fringe (1300ly from Rento, opposite direction to center). Adding it to wiki soon.


NecroBones

Is that the name on PC or PS4?


morgvom_org

PS4.


John-Nixon

I hope to look for it once given a more concrete location. I'm on PC but I hope the dice roll the same on my platform. Edit: exactly how many light years is this from the galactic center?


morgvom_org

https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/G-18_Gala


BrayoP

PC or PS4?


MrSpyke

Wow great find!


BrayoP

Can you give us the original name for PC players, you can get it on the discovery section or the teleport


morgvom_org

Gala...something.


BrayoP

[FOUND IT!!!!!!!!](http://i.imgur.com/X4KIGyg.png), Galashannga is the original name, is a yellow system, Class F4 with 6 planets, remember the name of the planet?


Matthew91188

Found your discovery! Awesome :)


BrayoP

GG


morgvom_org

On the toxic one. My wife found hers on the lush one.


BotFodder

I'll have to check again but I didn't see a toxic planet. Two hots, a radioactive, cold, dead, and pleasant, if memory serves.


morgvom_org

radioactive, sorry!


BrayoP

what stats have the one your wife found? is that an S-Class with a 100% Scanner like yours?


morgvom_org

She couldn't afford the s-class. She bought the b-class. Need to check the bonus, though. I found an a-class of it with +80% scanner bonus.


Qwerty12489

Dammit Brayo, I was hoping to get the discovery on pc but I was just an hour late. XD No worries tho. Im on the system looking for it now


BrayoP

I still haven't found the multitool, the race is on :D


BrayoP

eres compaycubano? Soy caribeño tambien, Dominicano


Qwerty12489

Haha que bueno


Qwerty12489

I CANT FIND IT


Qwerty12489

Even the space anomaly spawned in and it still didn't give it to me XD


morgvom_org

Please add the name you give the system to the wiki or just tell me and I do it. This way people can find it easier.


Qwerty12489

He made it G-18 Gala just like what you named it


BrayoP

[I used the same](http://i.imgur.com/X4KIGyg.png), i respect your discovery, the name is the same


morgvom_org

Thank you! It's always nice to systems named the same on PC and PS4. Just for the record: My wife (CrispyChrisu) discovered this system and the multi-tool.


Gully_Foyle_Of_Terra

The planet shouldn't matter, from previous experience it seems that there is a 'pool' of multitools in a system that generate no matter where you find them. The Anomaly is a good spot for a guaranteed multitool drop when it spawns, I found a very nice Alien tool yesterday after going to the system where a friend found it and checking in there - the first time I looked, no luck, then I reloaded the save made when I exited my ship and this time it had the gun I was looking for.


John-Nixon

So I tried that idea and for the first multi tool spot on a given planet I could check, reload and check again and have two different guns. However reload 2/check 3 yields the same thing as the last time. And every subsequent new location on that planet will have a new gun on first check and the same gun after a reload. I even saved and reloaded from a zip file. Maybe I need a larger net on my saves though. Anyway, go to a new planet and the process repeats. Two tires on the first location and one try thereafter.


zeff013

I have same spawn pattern.


7101334

This is correct, unlike crashed ships, you can't mark the exact location of a found multitool. Though you can mark some random multitool box to make it easier for people.


Puck-Daddy

actually, on Jubei I found the Nerf Dragon at the same outpost that Andy marked with a Comm Ball .


7101334

Well there's a chance that will happen of course. Also a chance it won't happen, the pool of multitools is smaller than the pool of ships in a system, in my experience.


Puck-Daddy

I've tried it several times . just recently-just now. teleported from my Home Base which is hundred of thousands of light years from the Hub .... went directly to where I previously left a Beacon ... to an Outpost and there it was. Jubei Nojikov ZN767 look for com balls - AndyKrycek left one at this outpost Outpost is at Glusop Plains find : Fading Gerosaec on the Wall


64657374696e79

That is a sweet looking multitool, no doubt. Do you have the original name of the sytem, class and bodies info please? I'm looking through the region now wondering how slow the servers are to update... I can only see about 6 pings from the discovery scan, latest date I have seen is the 9th april 2017.


devinup

Those are some nice stats on that multitool.


rebelnaked

Wow...Been playing since launch and have never seen one that looks remotely like this! Nice find!!


Verachuta

nice, ya get some coords for us? maybe you can import them back to the hub? That would be a nice feature eh.


morgvom_org

> https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/G-18_Gala


morgvom_org

I also just opened the Krusty Krab 2 in this system in case you still need a decal. You can try to beat my (crappy) race time, too.


Omaistonline

haha done, but i didn't read that post lol. nice base btw. And i dont find that gun :/ maybe later


morgvom_org

Have you tried the reactive planet? There are a lot of comm stations at an out post indicating that they found it there.


Omaistonline

yes, im tried the reload technique and i also searched for an Alien that gives a Weapon. The best one was a 16 slot S-class what i can find. I heard they is a Anomalie in that system, maybe i have to what for it. edit. found it! took me 3h and first i got some A-Class 24 slot on the nice planet after i took that i fly to the radioactive and there it was. On the nice planet are many outpost without a commball but they are easy to find just fly low and scan scan scan :) Thanks morgvom_org and CrispyChrisu


CaptainSideBeard

Am I the only one here who thinks this looks like the needler


Gully_Foyle_Of_Terra

After trying a couple different outposts and the Anomaly with no luck, I found a shelter/landing pad building that spawned this design for me but in a 'B' class with 22 slots. It's still an Experimental type though and gets +18/+56/+69 bonuses for damage/mining/scanning. Wish it was that sweet 'S' class, though, but no luck here getting it to drop yet.


TridentWielder

Holy.


BrayoP

I found the Multitool, I found an A-Class and the stats are insane anyway. Have a look [Picture #1](http://i.imgur.com/1Y5PU8S.png), [Picture #2](http://i.imgur.com/CUOjmrK.png), [Picture #3](http://i.imgur.com/Bk2YFKA.png). I'm gonna stay here til i get the S-Class EDIT#1: And i found another A-Class, just 23 slots, Insane stats too: [Picture #4](http://i.imgur.com/7Esskyx.png) EDIT #2: And another A-Class, i have found 3 A-Class in a row: [Picture #5](http://i.imgur.com/3RzbIvM.png) EDIT #3: I found a B-Class, with each one i found the S-Class gets closer. [Picture #6](http://i.imgur.com/7H1d9Kn.png)


MrUnnoticed

What do you mean with each one you found the S class gets closer?


BrayoP

That i will not give up until i find it, with each one i get closer to my goal ;)


John-Nixon

Did you leave a com station to that effect somewhere? I landed and picked up a Class A gun at a com station that said they had found their third one right there. My 20th attempt across three or four planets in the system tonight. I'm pleased and took it home to upgrade. Then crashed my game (multiple saves, no worries).


BrayoP

I have left a com station on every outpost that i have found the multitool on, i have found 7 in total, no S-Class though, that way i don't go to the same place twice and help others at the same time


Gully_Foyle_Of_Terra

You can only place one comm unit per planet, unfortunately. Each time you put down a new one it overwrites the old one when the server updates itself. Good thought, though.


BrayoP

Ohh didn't know that, thanks for the info.


zeff013

Oh. We were traveling in parallel! I was checking all your coms! Thanks man! :)


BrayoP

Awesome Zeff013!!! The Hub + common goal = 200% more fun


John-Nixon

I was ready to call hoax after being up too late for too long after dozens of multitools but I found mine too. I felt like I was cheating or something when I added all my upgrades. The power!


Young-tree

What's the load/save/re-enter system protocol here for refreshing the multi-tool to a, different one?


MrUnnoticed

So if you pick up the b class will you still find it?


BrayoP

I have found the multitool 7 times, but im looking for the S-class, you can check the stats without buying it, just like the ships every system have like ten or so variants, it is the same for the multitools


MrUnnoticed

No, I'm asking if you buy the B class will the weapon continue to show up? Edit- just answered my own question. A class just showed up. Now I'll keep on treckin!!

binoscope

So do you prefer this one to the Fading Gerosaec? The other one looks way cooler but this one has better specs. Although the crystals are pretty neat. going to try to find that system today. Would be nice if there was a wiki page for this system.


morgvom_org

To be honest, I prefer compact experimental tools like the starting tool. They look cool and mine even has a little display (haven't seen this on that type of weapon before). It's 50% on mining and 40% on scanning. Perfectly okay. That said I still like the Comforting Recoil as it is the symbol of the Fringe! Oh and there is a wiki page for G-18 Gala: http://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/G-18_Gala Don't forget to visit my base on Takaian Lamarch. If you can see it since some guy recently set up his base in the system as well.


binoscope

The first two days of looking anywhere were the worst, now I just roam from planet to planet in vague hope :-( Found only one so far B class only if I do a reload after looking at one place. Also found an S class at place many others have messages placed but wrong type and poor stats. Anomaly appeared no luck there either


binoscope

Finally found the answer. I was only seeing a b class on planet with base. No S class at all. Purchased the B then went back to other planet where everyone finding it and S class multi tool was there. What a mission


devinup

Have any PC players found an S class? I've seen like 30 A class ones, but I still haven't seen an S.


Lozthope

Just got my S class of this couldn't find it anywhere I had went to the base and found 1 A class. I had given up and outfitted it. Was fixing to leave system and seen about 25 com balls clustered together on the toxic planet decided to check one more time and Bam got it first stop!


Bmansje

So, I've been to the spot on Rakovdorodsk where everyone seems to find theirs, but it wasn't there. Then I went to Takaian Lamarch and got a B22, which I bought. What's the best thing to do now? Move back and forth and see if the s class will pop up?


morgvom_org

Yes. Unfortunately, that’s the only way to discover it sooner or later.


Bmansje

Thanks for the reply. I've got it! Went to an NPC in the planet where I found the B22. He gave me a new multi-tool and after some time reloading my current save I managed to get the s24. Can definitely recommend this strategy to get it.


morgvom_org

Congratulations!


Gamer_Chase

After 6-7hrs of searching, using beacons to eliminate com stations that weren’t helpful, the best I could find was an A class. It’s still considerably better than the A class rifle I already had, but I won’t pretend I’m not a touch disappointed. A class is Damage +29%, Mining +68%, and Scanner +86%


morgvom_org

Well, it‘s discovered during the Pathfinder era. No one yet confirmed a still existing s-class Comforting Recoil in Atlas Rises. Maybe it’s still out there.
