📋 About This Mod
You can create sonar module for Prawn Suit at Modification Station. ItemID is "PrawnSonarModule".
Activate it with quick slot hotkey and it will automatically ping every 5 seconds. Cooldown and energy cost are the same as for seamoth sonar.
Thanks to PrimeSonic, senna7608, randyknapp and others who keep their source code open, this is my first mod for Subnautica and main source of info is source files.
