Advanced Metal Detector
🎯 Core Functions
This mod adds revolutionary advanced features to metal detectors! When you hold a metal detector, an arrow will appear above your character's head, always pointing to the location of the nearest buried treasure, eliminating the need to manually activate scanning the ground.
📍 Intelligent navigation system
- **Real-time pointing**: Arrows will dynamically adjust direction as you move
- **Range Detection**: When there is no treasure within the scanning range, the arrow will rotate to prompt
- **Underwater Detection**: You can choose whether to scan underwater treasures (off by default)
📜 License system
The module adds a new three-level license system (you need to obtain the standard metal detection license level 2 first):
- **Level 1**: Short-distance scanning (about 3 grids), slightly larger than the range of ordinary metal detectors
- **Level 2**: Mid-range scanning (approximately 56-113 grids), based on the field of view distance in the game settings
- **Level 3**: Long range scan, covering the entire island, no matter how far away it is
⚙️ Configuration options
- **Full Enable/Disable**: The entire module function can be switched on and off at any time
- **License Requirement**: Optionally require a license or not
- **Price customization**: The purchase price of licenses at all levels can be adjusted (default: 2000, 5000, 9000)
- **Arrow Display**: You can choose to hide the arrows or display the rotating arrows when there is no treasure
🔧 Technical requirements
This mod requires the TRTools mod framework to function properly.

💡 **Usage Suggestions**: It is recommended to obtain the standard metal detection license level 2 first, and then gradually upgrade to the advanced license to experience the fun of scanning from short distance to the whole island!
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
