Loot Crate Scanner

Description
This small tool allows you to scan the map for all sorts of loot crates. It uses a little bit of Element Dust to resonate with the supply crates, underwater crates and even artifacts.
Press M when equipped, It will display the rarity, type and location of every found crate on the integrated map as well as in a handy list showing the coordinates and even the remaining integrity before it expires.

Select your target in the list or click on the map to place a marker that can be tracked when holding the Loot Crate Scanner in hand.

If you want to know what is inside the crate from far away, use some more Dust to scan the content.

The Scanner now can also target Element nodes.

Using a lot of Dust the Scanner can also open a wormhole next to the crate. Technically teleporting the holder to the crate.
Be carefull, if the crate is still in the air when it is scanned, the poral will also be up there.

In case you are low on element dust, it can also be used to revert Element Shards or pure Element back to Dust, but at a loss.

Now there are also stationary maps (Table and Wall) that show the crate locations and automatically update every few seconds and display the drop locations easily visible. (currently not working on the center but working on auto calibration).

Works on Single- and Multiplayer.

Loads on every map. Most map work out of the box, if the Marker position is off try auto calibrate in game. If you find maps that don\\\'t work, let me know.

Orbital Supply Drops on Extinction can not be scanned.

Works for me, although the teleport function is very risky, and can put the player outside of the map, at least on Aberration. Haven't tested it on other maps though. Use at your own peril.
Also, I tried adding the config before I had it loaded in, and the correct config reads as "Requiresdust", not "requireselement"

Is it normal for clients to have trouble seeing the deep sea crates?

Works just fine on the island. How do you change the color?

Mod no longer works. Maps do not show the locations of any loot. Teleport feature is missing.
Still good for a decoration piece though.

What does still work:
1. Wall and Floor Map can still be placed.
2. The manual "Waypoint" you can place on the "M" key map still works and will update the GPS Loot Crate Tool coordinates.
3. M-Key map can still consume Element Dust when pressing the button, but nothing happens.

Will there be an Update for the new Maps and some fixes? On my Ragnarok Server the Map wont show any Crate also the GUS.ini Settings do not help with the element requirement. Seems Like the Mod just uses the default settings.

A very slick mod. Works as intended. Really like the small touches that make the game more immersive.

I tried changing required element for scan in gameusersettings.ini from 5 to 2 since I'm playing on a map with little element but it seems like any change to stuff under [LootCrateScanner] heading gets overwritten with defaults at launch

Can someone tell me...?
Does this include an engram to unlock the ability to craft it?
Or, is the only way to obtain it is through the spawn commands?

will you create a fjordur runes finder?
