How To Use Orbital Scanner in Rimworld Odyssey
Orbital Scanner is a sensor that passively scans and detects irregular objects in orbit. However, the scanner won’t function under the roof, meaning you need to place it outside the ship. When placed, it detects irregular objects around the planet over time, such as orbital wrecks, satellites, asteroids, orbital platforms, abandoned platforms, and mech platforms. You can then travel to these discovered spots using Gravship, shuttles, or transport pods. Additionally, hacking ancient uplink satellite dishes also allows you to locate new orbital sites.
