📋 About This Mod
CameraStalkerGuard
Tired of stalkers dragging your scanner room cameras halfway across the map? This mod fixes that.
How It Works
Patches the creature AI's shiny object targeting system (CollectShiny. IsTargetValid) so that MapRoomCamera objects are excluded from stalker targets. Stalkers simply never consider your cameras as something to pick up.
-

[
]Player can still pick up and recall cameras normally[]Stalkers still interact with metal salvage and other shiny objects
[]No configuration needed
