Using scanners in The Alters involves locating resource deposits, equipping Polygonal Scanners, and strategically placing them to uncover resource cores. You must mark unexplored areas to identify deposits, which can include organics, metals, minerals, or Rapidium. By placing scanners in a circular formation within deposit limits, players can reveal the location of the deposit core. Color cues on the terrain, particularly red areas, indicate proximity to the core, and players can deploy Scan Waves to assist in the search process. Repeat placements may be necessary for optimal results.
Before you can use the scanner, you must locate a resource deposit on the map. They will be marked and tell you the type of resource.
Stand in the middle of a deposit and equip the Polygonal Scanners, then place up to six in a circular form within the deposit limits.
If you don’t find the deposit core right away, retrieve your Polygonal Scanners and place them again until you locate the core.
The more reddish the ground, the closer you are to the deposit core. This color difference can guide your scanner placement.
