    I like it, now mattermanipulator is really useful, but sound is really annoying when you upgrade to Impervium...

    This mod is great! Exactly what I was looking for.

    Most of the other matter manipulator mods either had ridiculous requirements (full crafting tier upgrade required just for, say, the copper tier) or were so overpowered and easy, it felt like cheating. This provides a nice middle ground that makes matter manipulators more relevant and useful, especially the spacing tiers, which would encourage me to get three copies to get the fastest of each tier to adjust as needed.

    My only recommendation? 2 x 2 tiers for silver, gold, and platimum (or replace silver and use diamond) maybe? That way it's not only endgame but useful thorough!

    They are not as fast as the Drill, but the range of manipulation of the matter compensates it.
    I recommend this mod. May be it is not a must-have, but it TOTALLY worth it. Go for it with no doubts.

    Keep the Matter Manipulator relevant? YES PLEASE! This is a great mod! For one, it offers an option to use a ranged mining tool vs. the default picks. Second, it offers an option to use a ranged mining tool vs. the default picks.

    Basically, it's a really cool mod. It fits well into the scale of things, and they don't feel particularly over powered.

    One thing I did notice, was that the titanium matter manipulator is a bit slower for it's tier. Having a diamond pick around the time you get a titanium matter manipulator makes you sort of rely on the pick over the MM, just because it's faster at that point.

    Although, I have to admit, I do feel like the MM needs some sort of flaw in order to keep the default mining tools appealing. And I think the lack of speed is a good flaw, especially since you can just sorta.. mine things from quite a far distance away.

    A neat introduction would be an increased range of use as you upgrade.

    This.
    THIS is what Starbound needs. I will continue to use this mod on my servers until they put this in game.

    Edit:

    Had an idea as how to appease the gods, in a way that would make sense. I think the only thing keeping this from being implemented is the lack of a durability, like the pickaxes and drills. Not really a durability, per-se, but a charging requirement. I could easily see using Uranium to repair the 3x3 Mat Mans. Plutonium all the way up to the Rubium, and then Solarium for the Durasteel.

    It's an idea, at least.

    [color=#88b788]Just a *tad* more SciFi than the drills.

    ...kinda like how an ocean has a *tad* more liquid than puddle. :D

    Great work, Burning Acid! This mod really brings the mining tech to a level suitable for the game's setting!

    Exactly pickaxes doesn't match with the game scenery this idea is great developers should take heed. It's weird to have a spaceship but still use inferior tools like pickaxes i hope they changes this as they update.
