Scanner
A player progression/equipment tool for locating or revealing resources.
It supports exploration and access decisions rather than factory throughput; keep it visible when the objective depends on finding new inputs.
When it fits: Choose it before a resource-search objective and confirm which current game functions it performs.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 1 Copper Frame, 1 Electrical Components at Assembler / Assembler MKII; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. The item recipe is a one-time equipment cost; scan range and unlock requirements need a current 1.0 source.
