    It's the thing you use to choose what planet to fly to

    The scanner exists, but it doesn't detect quests.

    Ah ok; I thought I missed something bigger. As Tiy wrote (3rd from the top), the Planet Scanner should offer up more data: like planet occupants/dungeons.
    This is already a good sign of potential quests but if the scanner would also have '!' and '?' to mark quests, that would be indeed very nice.
    I am also trying to figure out - here - if modding would allow for a more detailed scanner.

    At the same time it shouldent give you too much data. People want to explore for a reason.

    In my humble opinion it shouldent give any details.

    Perhaps just "Signs of inhabitation" if theres a village of any type on it.

    And "Underground structures detected" for dungeons or similiar (without saying what kind or how many).

    And even that info should be a upgrade to the scanner and not something it has right away.

    Possible planet scanner upgrades:
    0- Tells you nothing.
    1- Adds not very useful things (eg: size, day length)
    2- Adds what it tells you now (as of Upbeat Giraffe): main biome, planet type (hot/ cold/ radiation/ no air)
    3- Adds IF there are any major structures (villages, dungeons)
    4- Adds how many structures of each type

    These could be written to tech cards that you have to find (on planet, in quests), much like the pulse jump tech.
    Each player could then decide which card they want to use.

    Very good find! Cool :D

    So, the update came out... anyone find any new secret quests since then?

    ...Also, this thread is mainly being bumped so that returning players can see it.

    Good stuff, i ran to the edge on both sides and took it at face value.

    Sounds cool! Also, how do you get rocket boots? I want to go check this out, but I don't have any way to get down there without dying.

    Hm. You know, if there's things like this in an asteroid belt, imagine what you could find on planets if you looked hard enough... Maybe a hobo. But that's wishful thinking.

    I found a hobo once. It was actually my friend sitting in a box, but that doesn't matter.
    Before the stable update, I found an underground Avian tomb. It was a small, rectangular box with a bunch of pots. There was nobody inside it. I thought that was pretty cool.

    I was exploring the Outpost today prior to reading this and found this dude. I only saw him for a split second before he walked off the edge and fell into space. Kind of sad that I didn't get to do his quest before he died.

    Now we need a random pirate-dressed quest giver on the bottom of ocean planets!

    ... or just VERY far up in the outpost!

    This has actually been known for a really long time (probably like 5 minutes after they added the quest) it is on the official wiki

    May want to check the timestamp on that post, mate.

    I made it a few days after the outpost update, and initially discovered it the day of the update.

    I managed to complete it with no rocket boots- I used a grappling gun and gravity bubble, although I did fall into the void twice >~<

    Oh my! I did it on the first go with just a grappling hook. You can easily swing underneath like tarzan :)

    Getting there is normally more entertaining than the quest :p.

    The guy under the outpost is clearly A statanist, he will kill everyone we love at the outpost as sacrifices to Lucifer! We have to stop him!
