📋 About This Mod
Revision History
v1. 1. 2 (2022-12-18)
❇️ ToggleKey configuration setting now works with keys other than alpha-only. Tilde is a good choice!
v1. 1. 1 (2022-12-17)
❇️ Avert possible NullReferenceException
❇️ Performance improvements
v1. 1. 0 (2021-12-15)
❇️ The toggle blips keyboard shortcut has been changed from "L" to "toggleblips" in order to prevent accidentally disabling blips. This longer keyphrase can be customized in the mod.json file (see the "ToggleKey" setting). You can even switch it back to "L" if you prefer the single keystroke toggle.
❇️ Toggling blips on or off now reloads the configuration from mod.json. This allows you to modify the configuration for the mod without restarting the game.
❇️ The distance scaling of blips has been fixed to work with a scanner room camera drone. Previously it only worked from the player's perspective.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lets you fine-tune blip size and color exactly how you want.
- Auto-scaling by distance makes blips readable without cluttering the screen.
- Strong community backing with 430 endorsements and over 15,000 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated December 2022 — may need testing on current game patches.
- No mention of compatibility with other Scanner Room or HUD mods.
For Subnautica: Below Zero players who rely on the Scanner Room and find the default HUD blips too large, too small, or hard to see. If you want to customize the interface without editing files, this gives you in-game options. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic UI.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the key-phrase toggle when the Scanner Room HUD gets cluttered in resource-dense areas.
- Experiment with recolor settings to make blips stand out against dark or bright biomes.
- Set a base blip size that doesn't block your view at close range, since auto-scaling makes them larger as you approach.
