dosedela Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hello everyone.I've never been a huge fan of mini games in almost every game ... Cyperpunk, skyrim, mass effect ... I just hate them lol.And lets admit Beth is a serious competitors in the most boring mini games category ... So this time I'm looking for something to take care of the painful planetary scans. I mean the one when you are in your ship, map opened with the star and planets.You must know the hell sequence,scan a planet > zoom in (even worse) > zoom out repeat .... I haven't found anything yet, do you know if some mod able to one shot or improve these scans exist ?Thank you for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDMFanatic Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean the fact that you have to travel within orbit of a planet to use the scanner in the star map or do you mean something else? As for actually surveying a planet, you need to land on it and explore the various biomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosedela Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Hi, thank you for asking. I'm looking for a mod for the first kind of scan you describe. In my example, we just discovered Lantana system, and I want to scan every planet in this system. We are in our ship, map opened as you can see on the screen shot. From there, I want to scan each planets of the system (shortcut = key A). After I press A for a second or so, the game zooms in, making the process awful. Then I press TAB to zoom out and after that A to scan the second planet etc. ZZZzzzZZZ and I'm dying lolIf at least we could avoid that stupid zoom in between each scan, that would be a good improvement.

HDMFanatic Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 In my experience if you're not close enough to the planet/moon then "Scan Unavailable" will be there and you won't be able to scan the planet/moon until you get closer to it. I imagine it'll be necessary to have the Creation Kit before you can make a mod that removes the scanning distance limit such that you can scan the entire system at once.

dosedela Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Oh I see, you talk about the Astrophysics skill. I may mistake myself, but from the few I know, I don't think it's a real limitation of an hypothetical mod.For instance https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/4510 , Recolored Scanner Outlines, The purple color will only display if you have the skill level at 4. In brief, here are 2 things I'd like to see modded : - No more zoom in animation after scan activation- This may be more difficult to achieve, but an instant key to do the scan. In the current state of the game you have to press the A key for 1 second ... Again, awful Edited October 10, 2023 by dosedela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
