Highlights nearby resources and/or larvae by pressing X (configurable).

▮ Multiplayer Compatible - any participant can have this mod installed without the others needing it.

Note: this mod can be considered cheating because it makes much easier to spot resources and the devs did not intend to do a "scanner" feature á la No Man's Sky.

Pressing Shift+X will cycle through the resource types forward, Ctrl+X will cycle backwards.

The set of resources and larvae can be configured. The detection range can be configured. The size of the pole can be configured (or disabled).

The mod is Apache 2.0 open source: https://github.com/akarnokd/ThePlanetCrafterMods/tree/main/CheatNearbyResourcesHighlight
