Not really a mod release, but a guide for you to do it on your own. Follow the steps, make sure you forgot nothing. If for some reason your matter manipulator turns to a dirt block or something, you probably forgot the comma after the numeric value(s). http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=200805309
Lyra, might want to update the post to reflect that you can also increase the size of the beam to hit more blocks at once. I haven't done this, but it appears the option is there.
I'm going to see about making an automatic patcher for this. And other mods that have you mucking about with these item config files.
