Material Scanner

• Complete rewrite
  
• Complete multiplayer re-architecture
  
• Improved game mechanics

Multiplayer / Dedicated Server / Single Player

Short range scanner that identifies the composition of grids. Works with vanilla and modded building materials, e.g., "tech." Perfect for determining if a wreckage contains rare materials.

Design Specifications

• Scans any grid
  
• Detects any material desired
  
• Scanner must be pointed at the target
  
• TSS can be used to display scanner results on any LCD
  
• Large grid and small grid scanners

Use the Bandwidth slider to adjust the block's behavior.

• High bandwidth allows the detection of more types of materials in a single scan, however the scanning distance is very short.
  
• Low bandwidth limits the detection to fewer types of materials per scan, however the scanning distance is much farther.

LCDs can be set to display the scan results from any scanner on the ship.

Your configuration file is located here after you initially create your game.

Minimum Range
(kilometers) This is the scanner's range when set to its highest bandwidth. Default is 1 kilometer

Maxmimum Range
(kilometers) This is the scanner's range when set to its lowest bandwidth. Default is 3 kilometers

Small Grid Range Factor
(scalar) A range modifier applied to small-grid material scanners. Default is 0.35

Beam Width
(meters) This is the diameter of the scanning "beam" that projects from the end of the scanner. Only objects within this beam will be scanned. Default is 100 meters

Minimum Detection Probability
(percentage as 0-1.0) The lowest probability of detecting each material in a grid. This value is used when set to the lowest bandwidth. Default is 0.7

Maximum Detection Probability
(percentage as 0-1.0) The highest probability of detecting each material in a grid. This value is used when set to the highest bandwidth. Default is 1

Normal Power Usage
(MW) The power used by the scanner when idle. Default is 0.35 MW

Work Power Usage
(MW) The power used by the scanners when conducting a scan. Default is 3.5 MW

Small Grid Power Factor
(scalar) The power used by the scanners when conducting a scan. Default is 0.25

Work Duration
(seconds) How long the scanner must "scan" before it produces results. Default is 7 seconds

Cooldown Duration
(seconds) How long the scanner must cool down before it can be used again. Default is 5 seconds

Analysis Speed
(blocks scanned per second) After the scan, the data is analysed. This duration this step depends on the size of the target(s) scanned. This value is in large-grid blocks. A small-grid block is considered 1/125 of a block. Default is 250 large-grid blocks per second

Component Selection Rows
(row count) This is the size of the component selection area in the terminal view of the scanner. Default value is 9 rows

Detectable Components
This is a list of every construction material defined in the game. This includes modded materials. If you change your mods, this list will update.

Each entry allows you to change the displayed name for each material, e.g., instead of "steel plates" you could put "sheet metal." Each entry also specifies the bandwidth required to detect the component. The display name and bandwidth required are displayed in the scanner's terminal screen in the component window.

Default values

• Steel plate -> 1 bandwidth
  
• Display, Construction, Interior Plate, Girder, Small Tube, Large Tube, Bulletproof Glass, Computer, Radio Communication component, Detector -> 2 bandwidth
  
• Metal Grid, Motor, Reactor, Explosives, Solar Cell, Power Cell -> 3 bandwidth
  
• Superconductor, Thrust, Gravity Generator, Medical - > 4 bandwidth
  
• Modded components -> 5 bandwidth
