Remote Detonator

Tool

A remote that is linked to Mining Charges for detonation in a safe distance.

Notes

The Remote Detonator is a tier-4 tool used to safely trigger Mining Charges from a distance, avoiding blast damage. It consumes 5 calories per use and has 500 durability, gradually training the Mining skill as it is used. Since it can be recycled into scrap via the Scrap Tool recipe, keep a spare on hand for extended mining operations.
