✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Clean and focused – does exactly what it says, no bloat
- Community-approved with 857 endorsements and 17k downloads
- Tiny mod that won't impact performance
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the scanner circle – if you wanted more UI customization, this isn't it
- Last updated in September 2023, so may not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Potential conflicts with other UI overhaul mods that modify the scanner HUD
For Subnautica players who find the scanner circle intrusive and want a cleaner HUD. If you're a UI purist who wants minimal distractions while exploring, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for broader UI changes or if you rely on the circle for spatial awareness.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or BepInEx, just drop the mod into the plugins folder – no extra steps needed.
- Since this mod only removes the circle, you can easily test it by activating the scanner in-game – if you don't like it, just delete the file.
- Make sure your game is up to date, as older mods may not work with the latest Subnautica patches.
