A base-mounted scanning array that extends your resource detection range beyond what the handheld Scanner can manage. Interact with it to ping for nearby ore deposits, anomalies, and points of interest, displaying results on the HUD. Particularly useful when setting up a new outpost in an unfamiliar biome — run a Station scan before diving blind into a new area. Recipe uses System Chip, indicating mid-game availability.

Notes
Function: Extended-range resource/anomaly detection. Results shown on HUD.
Tips:
- Install in forward outposts near resource-rich biomes (Karakorum Metal Farms, Needler Nest) to map deposits before diving.
- Pairs with the Sonic Echo biomod for double-coverage — Station detects from base, Sonic Echo detects from the Tadpole.
- Recipe uses [system-chip] (Wiring Kit + 2× Quartz) — budget for this mid-game.
