Hand Scanner Utility V1.0.1

Multiple options covering a variety of base ranges, skill bonuses, effective ranges and number of scans required to complete the scan of an organism.

This is an automagic way of making the scanner less tedious. This is not a bat script and this file does not require running a bat file either manually or through your StarfieldCustom.ini file.

You can select from:
75, 100, and 150m base ranges, (Vanilla game setting is 50m)
2, 3, or 5 times the scanner range (that’s 20, 30, or 50m)
15, 20, or 25 skill point multiplier to scan range (Vanilla is 10)
Flora/fauna scans can be set to 1, 2, 3, or 4 scans to complete.

Scanner base range = Highlightable but not scannable yet
Scanner range = Highlighted AND Scannable

Meaning setting my scanner range to 3x makes the base range I am able to scan stuff 30 meters. Scanner skill bonus is fairly self-explanatory.

There is an option to automagically set your StarfieldCustom.ini to highlight all over the screen rather than just in the circle. If you want to do this, you can edit your ini, the settings are:

[Interface]
fScanHighlightDotAngle=0.2

[ResourceVeins]
fResourceDecalRenderRadiusFalloffPct=10
fResourceDecalRenderRadiusPct=10

INSTALLATION

MO2: Just download and install, it will automatically go where it belongs.
Vortex: Same as above 🙂

Manual: Not recommended, but…. Extract the 7z file using 7-Zip
The “optional” folder contains multiple subfolders that eventually come to an esm file. Place your desired esm in your Data folder.
