Exocraft Signal Booster Upgrade Tau

[Massacher]

How and where do I get this? I want to be able to scan for Ruins and Monoliths. I have googled for it but the info isn't clear.

All blueprints for upgrades can be bought from the exocraft guy at Anomalyn.

The Exocraft technician you can hire for your base gives you some of them for free, but can't remember which ones you can get that way, but according to the wiki you get the advanced scanner from him.

If you do the entire exocraft technician chain, you'll get all of the scanners for standard exocrafts for free as part of the mission rewards. But if you don't want to go that longer route, you can unlock it on the anomaly, as the Captain said above.

The item in question is no longer named Exocraft Signal Booster Upgrade Tau, it is now named Radar Power Resonator. It was renamed in the Waypoint update last October. Functionally, it's the same. But you obviously need to know its current name if you want to buy/unlock it.

That's why I can't find it. Thanks Sean for making it clear lol.
Also I have tried twice to hire a Vy'keen technician but the option is greyed out for some reason.

When you are to hire one of the techs, there is a specific place to do that hiring, select that mission as current and it should show you where to hire your new personnel. If you don't go to that location you will not get the correct dialog to hire them

Apparently I already know the blue print for it but I cannot craft it. It doesn't appear in the upgrades to be able to make it.

What exocraft are you trying to install it on?

The Minotaur and the Nautilon have their own specialized scanners, it can only be installed on one of the other exocraft (nomad, pilgrim, roamer or colossus). You also need to install the base scanning tech (Exocraft Radar) for it to function, I think (I don't know that for sure though, as I've never installed the scanner upgrades without first installing the basic radar).

On the Minotaur. I have the Exocraft Radar installed. I went to the anomaly. And I clicked on each one to make sure. It tells me I already know the blueprints for the Radar Amplifier and Radar Power Resonator. I have gathered all the materials needed to make the components. But when I open up the Minotaur inventory and go to the technology tab to install any technology nothing appears. And no the Radar Power Resonator isn't installed.

The minotaur has it's own radar, which is unlocked on the anomaly over on the right hand side, named "Minotaur Radar Array". If you were able to install the normal exocraft radar on it, that's a bug.

The minotaur does not take the standard radar, nor does it take the 2 upgrades that are for standard exocraft. It also doesn't scan for the same things as the other exocraft.

You need to install what you are trying to install on one of the OTHER exocraft.

The other exocraft suck though.

The Nomad isn't bad once you upgrade it fully.

Regardless, the scanners for the exocraft aren't the same for all of them, and you cannot install that upgrade on a Minotaur.

Here is what each exocraft scanner can scan for:

Standard Exocraft Scanner (Nomad, Roamer, Pilgrim, Colossus)

• Trade Outpost
  
• Resource Depot
  
• Abandoned Buildings (with Radar Amplifier)
  
• Drop Pods (with Radar Amplifier)
  
• Ruins (with Radar Power Resonator)
  
• Monoliths (Alien Structures) (with Radar Power Resonator)

Minotaur:

• Resource Depot
  
• Distress Signals
  
• Planetary Outposts
  
• Secure Facilities

Nautilon:

• Crashed Ships
  
• Crashed Freighters
  
• Sunken Buildings
  
• Submerged Ruins

Your only other option is to mod it. There's a mod that standardizes the Minotaur so that it uses (and scans for) the same things as all of the other exocraft (except Nautilon). It also adds a few new things to the list of what they can scan for.

Thanks. That works a treat! It scans for everything. Even settlements and sentinel pillars.
