Scanner rooms can find Large Resource Deposits

In later game settings where I have a prawn suit with a drill arm I love being able to mine resources instead of swimming around looking for limestone to crack open. It makes things so much more efficient. However I find it infuriating that scanner rooms can't be set to find them, forcing me to hunt them down the hard way. I think a new setting needs to be added to the scanner room. Even if it requires an upgrade

    Scanner rooms *can* find large resource deposits, though. I have mine picking out the lithium deposits and I'm searching for lithium.

    You scan for the particular resource that it's hunting for, and it picks up the large deposits as well as small chunks of it.

    Perhaps this is only in experimental?

    Scanner rooms also search for large deposits in stable mode. My scanner at the safe shallows base shows large salt, copper, and lead deposits.

    ...... wait, did you say *lead*?

    ..... you may have accidentally made me a happy man, Cryocon.

    (EDIT: Darn. Nope. But it was a good thought/try!)

    Sounds like a great idea

    Lead may have been at one of the other bases which had room for L resources.
