Cannot Equip Sunpoint Plasma Drill

[Ambitiosior]

I am currently unable to equip the Sunpoint Plasma Drill--and thereby unable to mine rare gems in the Vallis.

When I try to equip the Sunpoint Plasma Drill to my gear wheel, the game claims that I, "Cannot equip SUNPOINT PLASMA DRILL while ADVANCED NOSAM CUTTER is equipped!" even when I have unequiped the Advanced Nosam Cutter (and all the rest of my gear items, for that matter).

The error message, with my completely empty gear wheel in the background.

This happened to me, but I was able to equip it after completely leaving Fortuna and coming back.

I've left and re-entered Fortuna a few times, as well as restarted, but the bug persists.

Equip any nosam cutter => change for any other item => equip the plasma drill

Tried that, didn't work.

Set the old cutter spot to nothing. Exit gear. Go back into gear and equip the new one.

Finally, that worked. Thanks man.

Cool. It's a workaround that shouldn't be needed, but at least you got it swapped. Same thing happened to me when I first got it and was trying to switch it out.
