ScanNow is a simple No Man's Sky mod that removes or reduces the scanning delay by setting timings to 0 or 1 second. It comes in two variants, Instant and One Sec, and is compatible with the Expeditions update. Requires manual installation and conflicts with mods that modify GCGAMEPLAYGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Two timing options let you pick between instant and near-instant scanning
- Lightweight and straightforward—no complex setup, just drop in the .pak file
- Community-tested with 458 endorsements and over 8,600 downloads
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with any other mod that touches GCGAMEPLAY GLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN, so check your load order
- Last updated in April 2021—may not work with newer game versions beyond Expeditions
- No in-game configuration; you must manually swap files to change the timing
For No Man's Sky players who find the scanning delay tedious and want a quick, no-frills fix. Perfect if you're on the Expeditions update and don't mind manual file swapping. Skip if you use other mods that modify the same global file or if you play on a newer version than Expeditions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to create the MODS folder in PCBANKS if it doesn't exist, and delete DISABLEMODS.txt or the mod won't load.
- Only use one .pak file at a time—having both installed will cause conflicts.
- If you have other mods, check if they modify GCGAMEPLAY GLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN; if so, they won't work together with ScanNow.
