Would it be maybe possilbe for you to make us a version with even longer scan quests?
30% is kinda low to be honest :)

I guess I am that one person who actually enjoys the scanning quests, so...
big thanks for this mod mate.

@strangeWindmill gotcha, thanks!

@Armok Yeah, I don't think anyone would unless they did. I've been using FU for so long I didn't
even remember it changed those numbers - just found it on a hunch.

I'm going to try to play with the numbers, see if I can get a version that takes the approx. doubled vanilla values into account and feels decently long. If I get something, I'll post it.

@strangeWindmill ah, admittedly I don't use FU myself so I never noticed this lol

Just a heads up, folks: this mod doesn't _quite_ work as intended with Frackin Universe.

Not an incompatibility by any means, but that mod generally increases the value the scanned objects give you (as seen in github here [github.com] without touching the target vanilla value, while this mod brings up the required target value to 65. As a result it'll make things slower, but you probably won't get the length boost you want without doubling the vanilla target to match FU's rough doubling of the values if you're using it.

Easy enough to unpack this bad boy and modify the number with asset_packer/unpacker. Just posting because I was trying to figure out why things weren't going much longer for me.

Now that I know about this I can actually get away from Clue Hell. Thanks!

@Cyan Spartan17 I mean, that's fair, I wasn't expecting this mod to be to everyone's tastes after all :P and yeah, that's a good tip too

Idk, I felt like the scan quest could either take several minutes, or several hours, depending on your RNG, and I'm honestly not a huge fan of that. Also, here's a quick little tip, you can grab other racial furniture that you don't currently need while you're doing another scan quest, and when the quest that you took all that furniture for comes up, you've already got a pretty great start! :D

@indeepj hey, you must be from the ERM server, I recognize your formatting anywhere. but to answer your question, yes, I really do enjoy the scanning quests perhaps because of their repetitiion rather than despite it. I just enjoy structure like that I guess

Is The Thing You Do This For Because You Like Hunting For Objects To Scan And Thus Exploring Planets Over And Over Again (Worse If You Have More Races And Dungeons And Thus The Stuff You Want Are Harder To Find (Damn Florans And Their Impossible To Find Homes]] Or Something Else
