How do I upgrade my Matter Manipulator?

I've been playing Sarbound version 1.0 up until the first relic quest, I wan't to upgrade my MM (Matter Manipulator) but I must have skipped the tutorial which people say is how you unlock it. After looking through a couple of similar people's issues I've seen a bunch of people saying "activate the teleporter" or take the the flashlight out of the locker but nothing seems to work. Any one know how to fix this issue. (I also looked at S.A.I.L. and their's only the Dreadwing quests and Revisit the Erchius Mining Facility)

I don't believe there is a tutorial on how to upgrade your matter manipulator. Information you find online is likely outdated, as the 1.0 release was only a couple of days ago.

To upgrade your matter manipulator, click on the "MM upgrade" button on the right:

In the window that pops up, select one of the available upgrades, and then press the UPGRADE button:

You'll need a certain number of Manipulator Modules to make an upgrade, which can be found in chests and reward bags.

I believe the question that's being asked is how to unlock upgrades to the matter manipulator. I'm assuming his screen is looking a lot like this, where there are enough manipulators, but no way to use them - they're still locked.

You have to select and upgrade the first tier. That's the one with an icon in it. Once that one is upgraded, then the next one will unlock.
