Portable scanner room.

You have a small little portable scanner device (not for fragments). This would be made with some wiring kits along with some glass and a bit of titanium.

It would function by opening a small menu, you select the resources wanted. And then anot in game way point would appear on the respective deposits.

    Wouldn't this render the scanner room itself obsolete?

    Not that it's a bad idea. It would be 10x more convenient, that's for sure.

    What if instead of a portable scanner room, the Cyclops could get an upgrade that allowed it to hold a camera drone, and it could scan the surrounding area. (Technically, it would still be a portable scanner room.)

    Compensate by making it short range (like, the same range as the current scanner room, which is abysmal, but makes sense if it's on a portable base) and takes a lot of power (maybe).

    That still makes it strictly better than a normal scanner room. Stick an extra battery or two in your inventory and you're all set. Even if it used 50% of the power of a battery, you only need to use it twice to get all the resources you need.

    Current range on scanner room is pathetic, though. (And of course, you'd make it so the scanner room only works when the Cyclops is stationary).

    Range doesn't matter when you can move it around wherever you need it.
