This is awesome! Man, if the scanning "beam" was visible, that would have been so epic! :)

Are we supposed to be able to do manual scans? because I tried from my hotbar and it crashed, or are they just passive like in the video

@Blue64, I can tell you that you will not be able to replicate this behavior in a Programmable block. The mod API can do many things the PB API cannot do.

With respect to the source code, I have not made this code public and I do not have any plans to do so in the future. Making code public in no way makes it easier to maintain. Regardless, I have no difficulty maintaining my code in the first place. I appreciate your effort to be helpful, however.

If you would like to discus mod or PB programming, or have other questions, please jump on the discord linked in the description.

Where can we find a copy of this code? I want to check if this can help me script something like this from a Programmable Block. Perhaps there might be a copy of this code published from you in the future? This would help you maintain your code easier too. If not using Steam, then perhaps a GitHub URL?

Oh, I just tracked down that spectrography mod, perfect! These in combo really make the game next level fun!

Thank you, Jim! I probably won't do an ore scanner, as they are already mods for long range ore detectors, and there is the excellent spectography mod. But I appreciate the suggestion!

Really love this selection of mods! Wondering if it's possible to round them out with an asteroid scanner to see the composition from a distance?
Either way, great mods for immersion, thanks!

@CptFouker, you are welcome!

thanks very much :) i really like the desig and tuch you have made :)

Thanks. I don't publish many of my builds. I hope it doesn't suck too much.

u so sweet)

@CptFouker and @VANO_03_VOIN -- I have added a link at the bottom of the description to the SIJ7 Jump Station featured in the video.

i wait ur wersion of economy station too)

@CptFouker It's a modified economy station. The prefab is called Economy Space Station 1. I liked the design, so I added a third landing pad, gutted the interior, and added my own touches. If you really want this particular one, I suppose I can upload the blueprint, but I'll need to clean it up a little first.

where can i find that sij7 jumpstation it looks really sweet

@Luc1dMach1n3 A TSS is a script that runs in an LCD. When you select "Scripts" in the LCD and see all the predefined stuff like Weather, Energy and Hydrogen, etc, those are TSS scripts. This mod is a block (the scanner) and includes a TSS that allows you to display the scanner results on any LCD. Otherwise, you have to check the Custom Data of the scanner for the results.

If you watch the video, you'll see how to use it in the first 20 seconds. It's very simple.

To piggyback off the previous conversation; what is TSS?

Thanks Juper0!

My god! you have done it again! loving these mods.

Hey Digi! It's a block (an antenna), and there is a TSS for projecting the scan results to an LCD. Otherwise the results are available in the block's Custom Data field. I appreciate the suggestion to post a description -- that was my plan for today.

I assume this is also a TSS, I recommend you add that to the description or name to help people find it :P same goes for the other two linked.
