Hello all editors and users of the Astroneer Wiki! We are in the process of updating and switching over to use the new Fandom Desktop skin on the wiki. There will be many changes over the coming days, but the main goal is to keep the wiki feeling the same, as much as we can! If you notice any issues once the swap is made, please post them to the Admin Noticeboard so we can address it right away. We are also going to be completing the update to the Astroneer Wiki:Style guide, so there is a more up to date guide on how to style the wiki going forward.
The Inhibitor Mod is a Terrain Toolaugment, which prevents your Terrain Tool from deforming the surface you are using it on.
However, when collecting on a surface with resources on or in it, the resource will collect to a set depth, depending on whether or not you are using the Narrow, or Wide mod. This will, however, work on resources that require the use of a Drill, i.e. Lithium, or Titanite, when used with a drill mod, but the inhibitor mod must be in the top slot.
It also allows the dislodging of surface rocks, stalagmites and stalactites without damaging terrain.
