Scanner Room (Subnautica)

The Scanner Room is a Seabase module.

It is constructed with the Habitat Builder, and is designed to map the terrain of Biomes using controllable Camera Drones to scan the environment and detect resources in its vicinity. These drones can be controlled manually.

Hatches, Reinforcements, and Windows as well as Living Walls, can be placed on the Scanner Room.

Four Upgrade Module slots can be found to the right of the camera drone panel, along with a mini-fabricator.

The player must find four fragments to unlock the Scanner Room's blueprint.

Uses
In order to use the Scanner Room, the player must go to the camera station, which activates the drones. After activating, the camera drones will be controllable, and can be used to swim around the environment and map the terrain. These drones have a maximum range of about 500 meters by default before losing connection. This cannot be increased with the Scanner Room Range Upgrade. The max speed can also be increased and you can build more drones.

The scanner room will also scan for nearby resources, identifying them as red blips on the central hologram. The scanner can only search for one resource type at a time and can take some time, but the speed can be increased with an upgrade. Furthermore, a HUD upgrade allows the player to see where the scanner has identified the resources in a similar fashion to signal devices.
