Power Cells

Travel to the DeWhat? Emergency Power Annex and claim your allotment of five Power Cells. You can claim once per Pacific-time day; the allotment resets at local midnight.

Load one carried Power Cell into an equipped, empty Salvage Cutter from Inventory or Equipment. This sets the Cutter's charge to ten uses and consumes the cell completely — a Cutter that already has charge can't be topped up early.

While the Cutter has charge, each Mining attempt takes about three seconds instead of six — everything else about Mining (chance of success, what you find, XP) stays the same. Once the charge runs out, Mining automatically goes back to its normal speed.
