ScanForItems Glitch?

[Mafwingo]

So I can't find a single post anywhere online about the occasional issue I have when using the terminal to scan for items outside the ship. It will usually tell me exactly how many are left and how much they value for, but other times it will simply say "[ScanForItems]" and nothing else. I've tried spamming it, moving the terminal, but nothing seems to fix it, it's just broken for the rest of the level. I'd say it is just for harder moons to make it harder, but it does work a lot of the time on the harder moons still. Any ideas what the point of this is?

Seems to be a bug related to the nutcrackers.

I've been checking this for a while now with a mod that shows me which enemies have spawned and the scan is broken every time a nutcracker spawns.

Possibly because the nutcrackers bring items into the map when they spawn.

I saw it a few times before the nutcracker was added in the last big update. I even noticed it after scanning twice, it worked once and then it gave me that the second. Thought it might be to prevent spamming it but it happens even on the first try sometimes.

You're definitely not alone. I've had this happen to me a lot. From what I can tell, the glitch isn't "scan" specific or related to item count at all. Sometimes the terminal will just print the the variable name surrounded by square brackets instead of the value of the variable itself. I've seen this happen when trying to buy items with not enough credits, and it'll say something like, "You don't have enough credits. This items costs [itemCost] and you only have [playerCredits]." I've also had it happen prior to nutcrackers spawning. I don't think there's anything you can do to fix it yourself, just a small indie game bug.

Just hope it gets fixed soon cause it's been a while. I've even looked into the game files to see what causes it to trigger and couldn't find anything but I'm not that smart when it comes to that stuff.

if this happens there is a nutcracker in the facility

it's still happening, btw, just thought i'd inform you four. at least it's a good nutcracker detector.
