MonsterDex

How to obtain
You can purchase "MonsterDex" at Terramart for 1,000 pixels.


How to use
You can analyze the monster's data by pressing and holding the left mouse button.

It works only on monsters whose names exist, so it does not apply to randomly generated monsters.

fun fact: if you have a mod that gives names to random gen monsters (like https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3060280131) , you can actually add them to the dex

this is seriously late, but in case anyone is wondering still, the fish category is specifically for the fish you can catch while fishing, not critter fish or randomly generated fish.

How do you analyze fishes?

Love this mod in concept! Not sure what you could do about it, but scanning a named bounty target will use that bounty's unique name rather than the creature name. I assume it's similarly related to pet flavor/status text overlaying scan descriptions as previously mentioned.

I don't know if you're considering feature suggestions at all, but it would be really cool if designated "milestones" of collecting numbers of creatures in a category gave you rewards of some kind, either from just detecting how many entries are in your dex or interacting with an object/npc who can give quests checking your progress at specific milestones.

Someone mentioned a "shiny charm" - which may have been a joke given this mod's clear inspiration, but it would actually be pretty cool if scanning every unique/rare variety of monster(at least from vanilla) gave you an item that made it more likely for rare variants of unique monsters to spawn while you're carrying it.

So I got two minor problems; one: whenever you scan a pet the flavor text, e.g. "Thinking of cheese" gets overlaid the description, making me look for hard to find monsters all over again; and two, it displays an image of what position the monster was in at the time. Could we get a re-imager function on the dex and/or a removal of flavor text please? Otherwise, pretty good mod.
