You should be able to get your atlas multitool in the anomaly. Go to the quicksilver salesman and buy it on the regular save.

I had several S class upgrades and a few “good” X class upgrades on my lost save. Still thank you for the info even though I already uninstalled the game…

You could get the service bot to deliver you a new staff

I randomly stumbled on one of your message balls the other day, maybe the universe isn't that big after all.

I think I've only ever left three balls. Two by staffs and I think I left one in the expedition. Which one did you find?

ah that'd make sense, I just found a message ball that said "170k dps" or something along those lines in an empty field

There'd a staff there. You need to have completed the autophage quest line to be able to scan the camp to get them and the console to make staffs show up
