What weapon do I need to break into a Manufacturing Facility?

I've just come across a Manufacturing Facility on my planet and am trying to open the door, but with little success.

Unlike the locked doors in Space Stations and Outposts which ask for an Atlas Pass, these just state the door is reinforced.

My mining laser doesn't seem to do anything to it, but also didn't attract the sentinel droids that were around.

To open these kind of reinforced doors you must either install a boltcaster on your Multitool or Plasma Grenades. This will attract the sentinel droids though when destroying the door. Personally I recommend the Grenades, because they can destroy the doors much faster than the Boltcaster. :-)

With a lower powered multi-tool you will need to use a bolt caster or preferably grenades to open these doors.

A mining laser with few or no mods can't get in but I find that my fully upgraded mining laser has no problems.

Your starship's photon cannons work, as long as if you're in an outdoor area.

You need the boltcaster or plasma grenade upgrade equipped on your multi-tool in order to blow up the doors to get into these facility's.
