    If it dose not scan and dose not get rid of it then it means its an unscanable item (all that cost 0 pixels are and some others too).
    To the devs I have found a 3d printer bug too. If you craft multiple items at once with the printer it only takes away the pixels for one. Although not tooo exploitable for now since you can still only select multiple to craft if you have the pixels.

    It also doesn't let you re-scan items that are already scanned. I've noticed the bug he's talking about myself.

    INTENDED :
    1. Scan seed. Seed is consumed, blueprint is created
    2. Print more seeds at cost of pixels
    3. Cannot scan the same seed again as you already have the blueprint

    BUG:
    1. Scan seed. Seed is consumed, blueprint is not visible
    2. Cannot print seeds as they do not show up as an option
    3. Cannot scan the same seed again as it has already been scanned, but cannot be accessed.

    Strange for me either it consumes and gives the blueprint or it doesn't consume (assume unprintable ;( ).

    I can confirm that last night I scanned all my seeds and they showed up as blueprints, but as of today the blueprints are all gone, and it won't add anymore when I scan the seeds.

    I found a cell chest on my starter planet. I scanned it with the 3d printer. It destroyed the chest, but no cell chest appeared to buy. A friend of mine used some flood lights and other things from an abandoned mine in the printer, but then said they were way too expensive to want to buy.

    So, yeah, 3d printer is a touch buggy and unbalanced at the moment. Use with caution.

    Same issue with scanning in Spawners. Found a Tool Merchant Spawner. Scanned it in. Spawner was consumed / destroyed and no blueprint was added to the 3D Printer. = (Deadlyapples was a very very sad Avian :'( )

    same thing happened to my doctor spawner. I also agree with quenton that a lot of the really cool furniture is uber expensive. Once your killing lvl 10s easily (I'm there now) you can make the money for them but only enough for one room.

    I found another bug with the 3D printer.
    If I scan an Anvil, it just dissapers, Thats nice to know.

    So far, the 3D Printer has been accepting most of my items, however it has consumed a couple, such as an Oil Lantern and a Wizard Spawner (URG~!), and then refuses to take any of my crafting stations. It has a price, but refuses to scan it, even if I have the correct number of pixels. So far, the 3D Printer is the only really buggy thing I've encountered. Other than that, the game's been running fine for me. Oh, and the UI for the Printer was a little confusing, since it defaultly focuses on the search bar, pressing I puts an i in the bar instead of opening the inventory. I thought it was unusable for several hours.

    You scan a toxic chest, it disappears, you can't scan any more, and you can't print them.

    HOWEVER, YOU DO LEARN HOW TO CRAFT THEM.

    Yeah I haven't seemed to have gotten the scanner to work. Often enough I put an item (a gold bar, for example) and attempt to scan it and it does nothing... strange.

    Only certain items can be scanned. Things like the decorative items you'll find in Apex labs or Avian temples. Seeds also seem to be able to be scanned, and before the update you were able to print them, but since the update the 3D printer doesn't seem to let you print seeds.

    if it has a zero pixel cost (bottom right of tool tip) it is unscanable.
     
  18. Twilightdusk

    Twilightdusk Aquatic Astronaut

    not entirely true, since seeds (when they worked) had 0 cost to scan, and then 1 cost to print.
