✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval (6,410 endorsements) — clearly a favorite.
- Saves time and frustration by cutting down repetitive scanning.
- Lightweight and focused — does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects scan counts — if you're looking for more survey variety, this isn't it.
For players who hate the grind of scanning every single plant and animal multiple times. If you're a completionist who wants to finish surveys faster without modding the whole game, this is for you. Skip if you enjoy the scanning mechanic or want deeper survey changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager or manual installation — the description doesn't say, so look for a README or forum post.
- If you're playing on a version newer than December 2023, test the mod early to ensure it still works.
- Look for an in-game config option to switch between 1 and 3 scans — if not, you may need to edit a file.
