Scanner (Subnautica): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:38, 19 January 2016

Template:Infobox item The Scanner is a tool officially being implemented into the game in the H2.0 update. It is used to scan fragments, in order to create blueprints, life forms and geological structrures of the planet. To acquire the blueprints of a particular object, the player needs to analyse the fragments for that object multiple times. The amount of times scanning is required varies based on the object. Each scan of one fragment takes approximately ten seconds.

The Scanner is able to scan all fauna and most flora, among other things.^[1]

When the cursor is pointing at a scannable object, a white circle appears in the middle of the screen. When scanning an object, if the cursor is moved off of it, the scan will be resumed from the previous precentage if resumed scanning the same entity in a timely manner. The Scanner has a range of 5 meters.

After successfully scanning an object, data is then uploaded to the PDA.

As of the latest update, not all creatures/structures have their proper data bank entry.
