Hello!
I have a suggestion. I think it would be great if harvesting loot from raw materials increased after you’ve scanned the resource. For example, if we go straight to titanium, quartz, salt, or anything else, we normally get one unit when harvesting. But if we have scanned that resource, we would get two units from the same node. Later, when we upgrade our scanner to a bioscanner, scanning the resource again would increase the yield to three units.
This would make scanning more valuable throughout the game. Since we already need to scan everything twice to unlock biomods, this system would make scanning feel even more rewarding. The more you know about a resource, the more efficiently you can harvest it. :D
