About this mod Author’s original text

ScanPlus

A mod for Lethal Company which upgrades the ship's scanner, allowing it to scan lifeforms in addition to scrap.

Installation

Place ScanPlus.dll in your BepInEx/plugins folder.

Alternatively, you can use Mod Manager.

Usage

To use the upgraded scanner, players must first purchase the Infrared Scanner ship upgrade. Once purchased, they can use the irscan terminal command to display the creatures currently spawned on the moon.

This upgrade requirement can be disabled in the config file (see below), allowing players to use the enhanced scan without purchasing the upgrade.

The terminal command used to activate the Infrared Scanner can also be customized in the config file. Several default command aliases are included by default.

Configuration

ScanPlus.cfg will be generated after runnning Lethal Company for the first time after installing this mod, allowing for several changes to be made:

  • Switch between Low, Medium, High, and Excessive levels of detail in the upgraded scan messages.
  • Enable/Disable need for ship upgrade to use enhanced scanner.
  • Adjust price of the Infrared Scanner ship upgrade (if enabled).
  • Change terminal command(s) used to activate the Infrared Scanner.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
