Make sensor glasses more useful

[Bryant]

I would love it, if we had chips to visualize pipe and electrical/data networks. Handy when they are in the walls.

thats why you dont just cram stuff in there, pipe and wiring placement should be done smart so when you need to access it theres no guessing. use pipe labels/color coding. rename transformers and color code cables.

your base should have a level dedicated to just maintenance to run cables/pipes between floors that can be accessed at any time.

use grates and roll doors for quick access that can be kept visually hidden.

Or you can Jam them all into walls and you can request to have more uses for the glasses..

Why people try to ♥♥♥♥ on other people who want to have a new function to support their play style as well?

"Oh no, you are doing it all wrong. You need to play the way we all do!"

the game is setup to be labor intensive. the sensor glasses shouldnt even be in there since you had the ore scanner but the annoyance of mining was just a step too far before hand.

if you want to cheat theres a creative mode so you can play "your way" rather than what the game was made for. if you want to cheat the game its already there for you, you dont need to whine about needing to cheat on here. its a sp/coop game. set it to creative and knock yourself out "your way"

Not a very good defense. Not even close to cheating, it is tech that we even have in real life to detect wiring and pipes inside of walls.

here is a great sample.. oh wait.. maybe that guy is playing on Real Life creative mode!

I respect your opinion, but I tend to disagree. We can argue organization all we want, but how about aesthetics, and just finishings. I should be able to cover my walls and floors, or more specifically using both internal and external walls. Adding a dedicated floor is overkill in many situations, but I do it at times.

I kind of consider the sensor glasses as a shortcut as well, it is so easy to mine once you have them. What is wrong with making them a visualizer of your base. Surely if they can detect ore a few hundred meters away, they should be able to see a pipe or power line behind a wall.

Considering the obvious SS13 influence a T-ray scanner chip would be nice; you still need to switch chips so it's not entirely effortless.

Personally I'd like lenses that could give me plant readouts as I spend most of my time on genetics and in the greenhouse while fiancee mines with his fancy lenses.

A health analyzer would not go amiss either

There's been useful optical meson scanner-like chip from Inaki examples of asset mods.

May someone update it to current UnityEngine version to run by StationeersMods.

OMG, I love that. I would even be willing to have a chip for cables and one for pipes.

The glasses to me seem like they should be the next version of the tablet instead of an advanced tablet. It would be nice to wonder the base with a technical overlay.

yes..
sensor glasses are absolutely positively not remotely close to realism of effort and it absolutely positively a 'hack' which most of us actually welcome.

so to use the arguement of labor intensive work when talking about sensor glasses is a bit rich for sure

EDIT: In the real world by the way, we would have electrical schematics of the plant to refer to. As it is, changing up circuits dos not have the luxury of having drawings of the place.
