A Terrain Analyzer is an Augment that can be equipped onto the Terrain Tool. Its main purpose is to create or change the color of terrain the Terrain Tool comes into contact with. It can be obtained through two ways: being found at a crashed satellite, or being researched†. When attached to the Terrain Tool, it changes the color of soil that is released from the Tool when generating new terrain, and prevents the Tool from collecting or deforming any color other than the one set by the Analyzer. When paired with the Inhibitor, the Terrain Tool can then be used to alter the color of existing terrain without deforming it. This is widely regarded as "Painting" and thought of as the main use of the augment. Many players use it to "add spice" to their system and make it unique.
†Note that as of the Research Update, all terrain tool augments are not automatically learned and require research
Terrain Colors
There are three types of color: Matte, Rough, and Reflective. Matte terrain colors are normally segregated to individual planets which are mainly comprised of 2-3 basic colors. Rough terrains appear with shiny pixels glossed across them that sparkle as the player's camera moves. Reflective terrain is more rare, and usually begets a strong need to reduce ones' monitor brightness during the in-game daylight hours.
