Description
Learn blueprints when scanning objects. Should be compatible with any mods that adds objects and/or recipes.

Update (2019-10-20): If the quest is stuck in your quest log:
Type this in the in-game chat:
/admin /failquest learnblueprintonscan /admin
then re-buy the addon at the Infinity Express. (this fix brought to you by capitalism)
Thanks Nemo Jr.!

Update (2017-03-20): Now requires you to buy the addon at the outpost's Infinity Express.
You can also buy the scanmode update for fresh characters, but S.A.I.L. won't be happy about your waste of resources.
When you buy them it will show the loot message with 0 units for some reason, that's normal tho, the addon's working!


Note that not all vanilla objects have blueprints tied to them, and that it makes it extremely easy to learn blueprints of eg. the lunar base.

This means that if you don't get a recipe when scanning something you want, then there's more chances that there's no recipes for it than the mod being borked.
If you wanna be sure of it, you could, while hovering your mouse above an object and in admin mode (/admin), write


/entityeval sb.printJson(root.recipesForItem(object.name()) , 1)

to output any recipes the game has for that object. If it has some but scanning doesn't make you learn any, try collecting the object with the matter manipulator - if you don't learn anything, then you already did in the past. If you do however, please tell which item it was!

Appart from the addons thingies, this mod is "vanilla/multiplayer compatible". Once you get the addons (either on local, or on a server with this mod), it should work seamlessly on vanilla servers, as quest scripts are client-side. The infinity express simply won't sell the addons on vanilla servers, and attempting to spawn them will result in Perfectly Generic Items.

one day I'll make clean mod icons

2019-10-20 update: Now uses the new v1.4 parameters to hide quests, thanks Woodie and Nemo Jr.!
2017-03-20 update:
- Now require you to buy the addon at the Infinity Express. The reason behind this is because the massive quest patch would cause a freeze whenever interacting with a quest, probably because of it referencing non-vanilla species, that might not be installed for everyone, or just because of the size of it. Thanks to Mooncalf99 for reporting the issue!

If you don't wanna waste 150 pixels, you can go the cheaty way:
/admin /spawnitem scanmodeupgrade /spawnitem blueprintscanneraddon /admin

The pop-up message after finding a new recipe works fine but there's literally no way to craft those items because they don't show up in any of the crafting stations.

@A Meat Popsicle Are you sure you bought the right upgrade to use this, because I have FU and 800 other mods and it still works for me.

Yeah, I don't think this works anymore, especially with Frackin' Universe. Sad, cause this is exactly what I was hoping to find.

Kinda broken with Frackin' Universe. Still, you can just not scan stuff. Great mod!

how exactly do you craft the things you learn because i see tons of bp's popping up (like bin, cheap light, fridges of varying kinds but then when i go to the industrial workbench none of said BP's are there?

@A-Vladmir I checked out my old character and it works for them, but not my new characters. Definitely weird!
A-Vladimir 8 Mar, 2023 @ 7:37pm 
@ihazakitty Weird, last time I check it worked for me, and I have 800 mods installed.
ihazakitty 8 Mar, 2023 @ 4:59pm 
@A-Vladmir yep, tried it on 2 different characters just to make sure it wasn't one of my race mods that messed it up
A-Vladimir 7 Mar, 2023 @ 10:06pm 
@ihazakitty Did you try it on a new character after buying the upgrade?
ihazakitty 7 Mar, 2023 @ 10:30am 
Ok I'm really confused. This mod used to work for me quite a few months ago but now that I've gotten back into playing it it's just disabled for some reason. It doesn't scan and it wasn't fixed after doing the admin trick or by unsubscribing and resubscribing. It seems like this has been a common issue even though this mod hasn't changed since 2019! Idk what to do to get it working again.
