A suggestion for implementing a new item in the game. This item would be hidden, collectible, and scannable just like the other tools, becoming part of the game’s progression. This “antenna” or module could be crafted once you’ve gathered the required resources, and it could be attached to both your base and your tadpole.
Its function would be to emit a noise or energy field that only animals and monsters can sense. The signal would make them uncomfortable, causing them to avoid the area around your base or tadpole. This would keep you safe from hostile creatures when close to your vehicle or base.
