Batch Version
Navigate to your game’s root folder (the folder containing Starfield.exe).

Navigate to your Documents\My Games\Starfield folder.
Open StarfieldCustom.ini with Notepad (if it doesn’t exist, create one).
Add [General] to StarfieldCustom.ini (do not add another [General] if it already exists).
Under [General], copy and paste the following line.

sStartingConsoleCommand=bat “Data\InstantScan”

If you already have this line, follow the guide below instead of creating multiple entries in sStartingConsoleCommand.

Below is a guide on how to use multiple batch mods.

Create a TXT file in your game’s root folder, name it whatever you want.
For this example, we will be using Merged.txt.
Now, let’s say you want to use Increased Highlight Distance, Increased Scan Distance, and Instant Scan.
Open Merged.txt with Notepad.
Type bat “Data\IncreasedHighlightDistance”, bat “Data\IncreasedScanDistance”, and bat “Data\InstantScan”, each on a separate line.
Your Merged.txt should now look like the one below.

bat “Data\IncreasedHighlightDistance”
bat “Data\IncreasedScanDistance”
bat “Data\InstantScan”

Then, in your StarfieldCustom.ini, replace the existing sStartingConsoleCommand with the one below.

sStartingConsoleCommand=bat Merged

Note: Sometimes, if there are multiple entries in sStartingConsoleCommand, it won’t load properly.
Instead of creating multiple entries in sStartingConsoleCommand, I recommend merging it, by copying the lines from this mod into a batch file you already have.
