[SQUAD]

Oh i'm going to make Swiss cheese of that!

revenge for all those crunched landing legs and toppled craft

[softweir]

That's a very sneaky peek, given that we can't see anything!

[Kurbis]

my guess is that red=resources when using a scanning ship

yup is sure is.

Oooh-do I see new antenna/scanners?

I defenitely see a new scanner, i'll get an enhanced close-up, expect an edit to this post

EDIT: Saw Nova's post, still posting my Expertly Enhanced MSPaint/GIMP image anyways

Not a "new" scanner at all - that's the clamshell dish from ye olde resource endeavor.

[Amihan]

I thought that was Duna at first. Now that I can see it's not I'm actually more excited than that little screenshot warrants. A GOOD REASON FOR SATELLITES.

[Bill Phil]

Something tells me the red is where it isn't.... That much on the mun alone? I doubt it...

[KerBlam]

Was this supposed to be a video?

[BudgetHedgehog]

No, it's a picture. If you see video buttons, that's because it's a screenshot of a Twitch stream.

EDIT: (little bit) higher resolution.

We know stock resources are based on RoverDude's work creating Karbonite. That map looks a heck of a lot like a Karbonite resource map (currently displayable with SCANsat) but overlaid on the globe instead. Given that, I'm pretty sure the colored areas indicate the presence of the resource, and the intensity indicates the concentration. Don't be surprised if the concentrations available are a few percent at most, requiring time and effort (and landed mass!) to extract meaningful amounts, in order to avoid completely blowing the difficulty of the game balance.

Red area is a HYPE resource !

1. verb. promote or publicize (a product or idea) intensively, often exaggerating its benefits.

It just seems...

unlikely.

Besides, who's to say that Squad would make the same decisions regarding the color as RD?

We need confirmation.

[NovaSilisko]

Or they just, you know, turned up the spawn rates to make it easier to see...

[KandoKris]

omg omg omg omg I Have been waiting for this for ages.... Resource mining in STOCK

That new dish looks great and would be awesome as a scanner paired with a mass spectrometer Yippy new parts :)

Very good point...

Seems likely to me.

I still keep those shots saved, and also read somewhere that someone made a compilation with all the parts that were shown back at 0.18/19

So yeah, not much of this is "new"

Is it something you've been able to play with? I'd say it's pretty new, regardless of when the models were made.

[Aragosnat]

Intresting choice. Perhaps we will need a rover with said part to. Either way will be intresting.

[Brotoro]

Red? Is there red in that picture? I can't see anything.

It's more like dark pink to me.
