Workshop Tools & Equipment Tree

From rough host-rock chisels to diamond-grit fretsaw blades, master the mechanical tools required to shape raw subterranean gems without causing structural failure.

Chisels & Striking Tools

Basic Equipment Starting Tool

Point Chisel

尖头凿

Fundamental hand tool for cleaving outer host rock layers. Features adjustable processing levels (Q to lower, E to raise).

Precision Equipment 45s

Small Point Chisel

小号尖头凿

Fine-tipped chisel designed for delicate vug extraction without damaging embedded crystals.

Sounding & Breaking Hammers

Standard Equipment Starting Tool

Nodule Sounding Hammer

结核探测锤

Strikes nodules to audibly gauge density. Directly shatters metal ores (malachite, pyrite) into base metal scrap.

Heavy Equipment 80s

Heavy Workbench Hammer

重型工坊锤

Wide-area kinetic breaker. Destroys dense limestone and basalt crusts in fewer strikes.

Thermal & Extraction Tools

Thermal Tool 60s

Blowlamp

喷灯

Applies controlled heat to host rocks, causing differential expansion to pop brittle encrustations.

Fretsaw & Consumable Blades

Precision Slicer Starting Tool

Wire Fretsaw

线锯

High-tension fretsaw frame. Consumes replaceable blades when slicing through rough specimens.

Common Consumable 15s (Craftable)

Iron Saw Blade

铁锯条

Inexpensive blade for cutting softer rocks (Mohs 1-4). Wears quickly against quartz.

Sturdy Consumable 35s (Craftable)

Fine Steel Blade

精钢锯条

Repeatedly forged steel blade that cuts through most rock and lasts well under pressure.

Hard Gem Consumable 75s (Craftable)

Corundum Saw Blade

刚玉锯条

Edged with corundum grit. Cuts hard gems (Mohs 7-8) but wears under excessive friction.

Master Consumable 150s (Craftable)

Black Diamond Saw Blade

黑钻锯条

Edged with black diamond fragments. Slices through almost any gem including precious corundum.

Artisan Consumable 220s (Craftable)

Master Fretsaw Blade

大师线锯条

Unsurpassed edge retention and cutting speed for complex diamond-heart and step cuts.

Inspection & Metrology

Diagnostic Tool Starting Tool

Head-Mounted Loupe (Monocle)

头戴式放大镜

Enables detailed specimen inspection. Identifies host rock varieties and crystalline defects.

Metrology Tool 40s

Precision Calipers

游标卡尺

Measures gem dimensions and voxel clearance to ensure facet symmetry matches client orders.

Occult Detector 95s

Relic Compass Needle

遗物指南针

Vibrates and trembles continuously when pointing toward ores containing wrapped subterranean relics.

Licences & Skill Upgrades

Licence Completed Tutorial

Cognitive Upgrade Tiered Upgrades

Awareness Expansion I ~ IV

理智扩容 I ~ IV

Expands maximum Awareness capacity, delaying madness overload during anomaly work.

Workshop Engineering Guidelines

Methodology: Tool attributes and upgrade specifications derived from official Unreal Engine 5 Demo strings (GCMC-Windows.pak / Game.locres). Metal ores (such as Malachite and Pyrite) should be processed exclusively with Nodule Sounding Hammers to yield base metal fragments for workshop improvements.
