Probe Scanner

The Probe Scanner is a widget in Astroneer. It allows the player to find various probes on each planet.

Uses
The Probe Scanner is used to scan for Probes found on each planet. It must be placed in the widget slot of the backpack to function. When activated it will produce a tune and lights on the bottom of the scanner will activate, depending on how close to the probe the player is. If the player is far enough away the scanner will first point int he general direction the player must travel, and as the player gets closer it will spin, slowing down when it points in the direction of the probe. As the player gets closer to the probe the tune will grow higher in pitch and change, more lights will light up, and it while spinning it will focus more directly at the probe.

Once the probe is found, the scanner must be placed in the probe slot to activate, which will consume the scanner and unlock the appropriate palette customization. More scanners will be needed to activate all probes on each planet.
