📋 About This Mod
Update of Drillable Scan by Vlad-00003 (https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/49). There was already a BepInEx version for the 2023 patch, but the 2025 update broke it again. This fixes it for that.
Huge thanks to Vlad for making his source code available so that the community can keep his terrific mods alive.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real annoyance—no more wasted trips to the Scanner Room for deposits you can't drill.
- Tiny QoL mod that does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Recent update (Dec 2025) means it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 68 endorsements—small user base, so less community testing.
- Requires BepInEx setup, which might be a hurdle for modding newbies.
For Subnautica players who use the Scanner Room a lot and want to know at a glance which deposits are drillable. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla scanner or don't use BepInEx.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure BepInEx is installed correctly before adding this mod—check the BepInEx folder structure.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the BepInEx plugin placement to avoid errors.
- Test the mod in a new game or save to see the scanner changes immediately.
