It allows players to scan nearby objects, including fauna, flora, and technology fragments, to acquire data and unlock crafting recipes.  -The **Scanner Station** is an Interior Facility that can scan for nearby resources and points of interest. It can be placed inside of player-created Seabases with the Habitat Builder. It has a range of 300 meters and draws 10 energy per second while active. It can be upgraded with databoxes found in some Pioneer settlements to expand the options available to scan.+## Overview  -## Recipe+Deploying a Scanner Station enables automated or manual scanning of the surrounding environment. This is essential for progression, as many advanced tools and vehicles require scanned data before they can be crafted.  -The blueprint for the Scanner Station can be found by scanning a Scanner Station, which can be found at Camp One and the Old Habitat.+## Usage  -| Ingredient | Quantity |-| :--- | :--- |-| System Chip | 1 |-| Titanium | 3 |-| Wiring Kit | 1 |+1.  Place the Scanner Station on a flat surface or attach it to a base.+2.  Interact with the station to activate its scanning range.+3.

Complete the scanning minigame or wait for automatic data collection, depending on the game mode and upgrades.  -**Crafted at:** Habitat Builder+## Data Bank Entries  -## Scannable Objects+> **Scanner Station**: A dedicated facility for analyzing local biological and technological specimens.

Ensure sufficient electrical budget is available-high power draw. Once powered, select a filter and wait for the map to populate with contacts. Touch a contact (entering the holographic map if necessary) to place a signal on its position in the real world. CAUTION: the scanner's power draw increases sharply while active.- -**BACKGROUND**- -Ever wondered what's out there? Now you can replace wonder and mystery with crisp, high-resolution sensor imagery. The scanner station manages sensors including (but not limited to) hyperspectral imaging, field MRI, passive sonar, biosonic spectroscopy, lidar vibrometry, chemical sniffers and magnetometric inferentials.- -The scanner station is a standalone product; colonists are not required to manually construct sensors on their habitat. Building these emitters personally may give colonists a sense of purpose and achievement.- -> "The Alterra scanner station. Because the map always beats the territory."+*   Place Scanner Stations in biomes rich with undiscovered species to maximize data gain.+*   Ensure the station has power if required by specific game mechanics or mods.+*   Combine with a Moonpool or Base for efficient research hubs.
