Polytool

Polytool
Basic Information
Use	Modifiable multitool
Crafted in	Chemical Synthesis Machine
Cost	Carbon Nanotubes × 256

The Polytool is an all-in-one tool that combines an axe, pickaxe, shovel and sword and that can be upgraded with elements to add effects or to alter the tool speeds.

Crafting

The Polytool is crafted by placing a 4 full stacks of Carbon Nanotubes into the Chemical Synthesis Machine configured so that the top-center, left-center, right-center, and bottom-center slots each have a full stack.

Usage

Polytool Configuration GUI with hydrogen, sulfur, ruthenium, and rhodium modifiers. Click image for a larger version.

The Polytool is used in the same way as any Minecraft tool: left-click is used to attack, chop, dig, and mine, and right-click opens the configuration GUI.

While in the configuration GUI, you can place a full stack of an element (64 atoms) in the upper-left slot to upgrade the tool with that element and apply its effects; however, there is no way to remove elements from the tool once they're applied. All active elements are shown revolving around the Polytool in the GUI.
