🎯 Tips & Tricks
Install BepInEx first by placing the BepInEx folder in your Subnautica game directory, then run the game once to generate the plugins folder.
Drop the DrillableScan DLL into the BepInEx/plugins folder, then restart the game.
If the mod doesn't work, check that your BepInEx version matches the game's version and that you're using the correct Subnautica build (Steam vs Epic).

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community-approved with 328 endorsements and over 35k downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance by clearly marking which deposits need a Prawn Suit drill.
- Lightweight UI tweak that doesn't alter gameplay balance.
👎 Cons
- Only works with BepInEx, so you need to set that up first.
- No detailed install instructions in the description—you'll need to know BepInEx basics.
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be tested with the latest Subnautica patches.
