Scan All Stations

Description
All stations in the entire galaxy are discovered, scanned to 100%, and given updated snapshots on game start. The scan is refreshed on game load. The refresh catches any newly built stations between sessions.

For a complete description of the scanning information revealed, check the Station Scanning page of my Steam Guide.

Data leaks are unchanged. Black markets not discovered. Trade subscription not included.
These mechanics are unrelated to the scanning information system.

Snapshots are up to date data, such as pricing information. It is normally refreshed when your assets have vision of the station, and decays after losing vision for a while. Satellites covering a station or the trade subscription keeps permanent snapshots.

This mod does not keep permanent snapshots unless you purposefully reload after the snapshots expire, or your typical session length is shorter than the snapshot length. It purposefully only scans on load to limit the performance impact which would occur if it continually scanned on a timer while playing the game.

The mod does not discover sectors, but all stations within undiscovered sectors will be fully revealed once you discover the sector.

Sometimes this mod reveals stations that are very far from the sector core. This is a vanilla problem. The station has always existed, you would just never notice it without this mod revealing it.
Certain distant stations, like those near the tentacle monster in Grand Exchange I, are intentional Easter Eggs.

If you only want to remove the tedium of manually scanning stations, use this mod:
No Station Scanning

@TomasVaner:
I don't remember the condition for revealing the name, so I'm not sure.

Is there a way to display names of modules in the map for all stations? It shows as ??? for everything except storage

All of my mods except 100x modules should be safe to remove from an existing save. However, I have never attempted to remove any, so you should back up your saves to be safe.

Hello, are your mods generally safe to uinstall once installed? I want to try this mod as well as your xenon mods in my current save file, so I'm wondering if it's safe to remove if I don't like it.

No, it only reveals scanning information like ware storage.

You can see everything this mod reveals on the Station Scanning page of my Steam Guide .

will this mod help negate the need for scanning of stations for data leaks?

@Fidel Castro:
Yes. The other mod is setting the requirement to see scan information to 0%, and this mod has the default information requirements but is automatically scanning every station in the galaxy to 100%.

@Ram Yep I'm using the other mod. So its the other one the one revealling me Ship info?

@Fidel Castro:
No. Are you using my No Station Scanning mod too? It also unlocks hidden ship information like installed ship mods because it sets the requirement for all scanning to 0, and it's technically part of the same system.

Does this scan all of the ships too by chance? I just realized I somehow scanned ALL OF THE SHIPS XD
