The Scanner Room is a Seabase module.

It is constructed with the Habitat Builder, and is designed to map the terrain of Biomes using controllable Camera Drones to scan the environment and detect resources in its vicinity. These drones can be controlled manually.

Hatches, Reinforcements, and Windows as well as Living Walls, can be placed on the Scanner Room.

Four Upgrade Module slots can be found to the right of the camera drone panel, along with a mini-fabricator.

The player must find four fragments to unlock the Scanner Room's blueprint.

Recipe

Uses

In order to use the Scanner Room, the player must go to the camera station, which activates the drones. After activating, the camera drones will be controllable, and can be used to swim around the environment and map the terrain. These drones have a maximum range of about 500 meters by default before losing connection. Additional drones can be built but only two can charge at the Scanner Room.

The scanner room will also scan for nearby resources, identifying them as red blips on the central hologram. The scanner can only search for one resource type at a time and can take some time, but the searching speed and range can be increased with the Scanner Room Range Upgrade. Furthermore, a HUD upgrade allows the player to see where the scanner has identified the resources in a similar fashion to signal devices.
