it was around for some time in beta. I dont think it worked very well. Supposedly, you are supposed to be able to walk up to stuff, use the tool and get junk from it.

Kinda like the tool that's supposed to take stuff and give you parts/junk/chems from it, but usually gives you wood...err...peices of wood.

it was in beta, pretty useless really it extracts metal junk from rocks or something. AFAIK there are a few in existence in retail, mebee GM spawned.

I think that Reefsmoker had one ages ago.... dunno wether he still plays though.

I heard that G.O.D had one as well.... though that might just have been him trying to con someone. :p

Never noticed that before. Says here in the manual. "Advances in miniaturization made it possible to combine the process of mineral detection, separation and extraction into one tool. The first models were still very large, two or three men were needed to move the mining tool. The old high pressure cylinders were heavy and could only be carried by mining bots"

You'll need to right click on Gotts link and save it to disk. Then you need to rename it from .txt to .jpg and it will work.

ph34r the Ubar Mining Tool!!!!!1111111

I looted that(in the pic) and a couple other Mining Tools from an Equipment Box in OZ 2(in Beta)..
Never did get anything out of that Tree Trunk..........:o

The Mining Tools were TL 4 and researchable.......

That Tree Trunk was the only thing I every found that it would work on, although I think Reefsmoker said that there were "Rocks" in the wastelands that it would work on.

As for Retail, you would think if it ever was in Retail, there would be some BP's floating around........

I remember someone in retail (though I forget what server) said they had blueprints so maybe they'll pipe up

Probably not..


They used to drop in hackboxes in retail, though I'm pretty sure the people who had em didn't sell em and left for greener grass, or simply rerolled..


I mean, other than braggin right's, why would you want a useless tool?

I think there might be some roleplay value to it(Mining Tool), due to it's uniqueness......

But hey, the Dildo of Maven is useless......
And it's in high demand.....;)
