Morphite Manipulator is an upgrade of vanilla Matter Manipulator. It starts with 5x5 area, better distance and mining speed.

You can replace existing Matter Manipulator by using Shift+right click on the Personal Tricorder and moving it into the Matter Manipulator's slot.

Upgrades

• It doesn't matter if the vanilla Matter Manipulator had any upgrades e.g. speed or area increases - a newly installed Morphite Manipulator starts from a clean slate (no speed/distance/area upgrades), with the exception of Wiring Mode and Paint Mode, which are retained. Liquid collection is unlocked by default.
• A non-upgraded Morphite Manipulator is much better than fully upgraded vanilla Matter Manipulator.
• After you install a Morphite Manipulator, you can upgrade it further (with upgrades like "+300% speed"). For example, its mining area can be increased up to 8x8.
