The long-range mineral scanner can automatically detect precious mineral deposits (only gold or jade) in the nearby areas outside your colony on average once per 30 days with a radius of 30 world tiles. The scanner spawns mineral lumps mini-maps in the world map and triggers its respective world event which will not expire.

The minerals can be either unguarded, guarded by pirates or surrounded by a manhunter pack. Once all hostiles have been eliminated if any, you have a 10 days countdown to mine everything before the caravan leaves. Besides the precious minerals, you can also mine out anything else on the mini-map, such as components or steel.

Pirate defenders, will surround the lump with a rudimentary base and possibly turrets.
Manhunter pack, a random set of manhunter animals, some are slow allowing player maneuvering and others are fast and require a defensive stance.

-The scanner simply makes it that mineral lumps can be found within its effective area. Placing scanners close to one another has little to no effect. When viewing the scanners there will be an 'Efficiency' value displayed. Having a scanner's scanned area overlap with another will reduce the efficiency, and if you place one in the same map as another it will be at 0% meaning it is nonfunctional
-== Precious minerals found ==
-When the scanner finds minerals an [[events|event]] will trigger notifying the player to go and mine the minerals. The event will not expire.
-When the player reaches the spot, a temporary map will be generated with a precious mineral lump in the middle. The possible minerals found are only [[gold]] or [[jade]].
-The minerals can be unguarded, or may be surrounded by pirates guarding the reserves or a manhunter pack that happens to be nearby.
-Besides the minerals, you can also mine out anything else on the map, such as [[component]]s or steel.
-You have 10 days to mine everything before the caravan leaves. The countdown starts when all hostiles are eliminated, if any.
-=== Pirate defenders ===
-A few pirates have surrounded the lump with a rudimentary base and possibly turrets. They are easy to defeat and once done so the treasure is yours for the taking.
-=== Manhunter pack ===
-A pack of random manhunter animals will spawn near the mineral lump.
