While playing I've come to the place, where I wasn't even gavering small resources lying around, but only searching for the large resource deposits.
But the scanner room search for everything, so I had to go to each resource blip and see if it's a large or not.
This mod solves this problem. Something tells me that there won't be much people using it, but still =)
Installation:
1. Install the QModManager
2. Unzip the folder "DrillableScan" from the archive to the Subnautica\QMods folder.
3. Have fun =)
This mod adds the "(Drillable)" suffix to the resource deposits. Also works with SubnauticaMap mod.
DrillableScan is a UI mod for Subnautica that separates large resource deposits from regular resources in the scanner room, allowing you to filter your search to only one type. It's a simple quality-of-life improvement for players who want more control over resource scanning.
