This item can be placed on fish tank and will scan the fish inside the container.
it will show "Scan" and when pressed will start from 0%-100%. Once its done scanning all the information of the fishes in the tank will be recorded on the TALS.
Grab the TALS and start to explore.
Once your around 5-40 feet away from similar fishes the you had scanned in your container it will start to beep. And will have a compass on it directing you to its direction, though it will be only 85% accurate.
I though this would be useful to start finding certain fishes for your survival.
Also TALS can only scan during the day. Because it is solar powered. And when in the dark its batteries will start to lower. Once in a very bright area it will charge.
thanks for reading hope yall enjoyed

one was to turn the camera into a scanner, another was to give the camera an option to tag creatures with a marker of some kind to track them.... (ie know where the reaper leviathan was in relation to driver thanks to a special chip) and third was to make it so one camera can trap a small fish like the peeper (those damn fish are way faster than I thought they would be) inside to be deposited into a fish tank... (ie dump the fish into a large aquarium via a oneway tube outside the room that holds the aquarium)
Maybe you can have an upgrade that could scan resource nodes and determine what's inside?
that would be nice... but don't know if that would work... we can already scan limestone and determine what me might get from it..... but it would make things alot easier though!
We can scan fish already, and recipes are learned as soon as you catch them... though not track them like you are stating.... why would we need to track the smaller fish is beyond me, but that's not relevant at this point.
We have the gravity sphere, which will attract fish to it and hold it near the sphere for the player to pick up. Thus making fishing easier in the early game.... that is until the player can get to floating island and find the hanging tree fruit or marble melons there.
We now have the scanner room... though it's limited in what it does right now... it has room to be upgraded. all they have to do is make an upgrade module for the room to be able to use a camera to scan local fauna and flora. Which should in turn make the room able to track said fauna or flora.... and with a special chip that is used in the players pda slot we can track the items we set the scanner room to scan for when we are outside our base. What ever is in the scanner room's range that we are tracking shows up with an orange marker.... so if you set the scanner room to scan for quartz.... all the quartz in the range of the scanner room becomes visible.... though I wish it had range to target on it but it doesn't right now.
Now we also have the problem of unintentionally running into the larger problems they have and are coming out with.... like the reaper leviathan (scary bastard first time you run into him expectantly... trust me). What if we had a way to track him? again in comes the scanner room... those little remote controlled drones/cameras.... simply have another upgrade mod were we can take the drones and give them a way to shoot a tracking chip into the leviathan, essentially "tagging" him, and when the scanner room is set to scan for him..... presto... his where a bouts on your screen when you are moving through the area and he is in range of the scanner room.
