Space Scanner Oddities

I can't seem to get consistent results from the space scanner.  Both non and sandbox attempts are acting oddly, at best.

For example, in sandbox, this should not be 100%:5c26a9dd09752_ScannerQuality100.thumb.JPG.50649d4eb6b740fa2e5a668ce89617a7.JPG

I also can't seem to improve this scanner to 81%, and that's only once I rip off the space capsule and a research bay.  The miner, second research bay, gantries, and ladders don't seem to matter.

Results are consistent between save/reloads.  I've attached a copy of the save file before and after sandbox attempts to correct the problem for reference.

User Feedback


Scanners are effected by "heavy machinery". So, yes, if something is nearby, the quality will drop. 

There is only one solution: Build the scanners way higher. Nothing obove and beside the scanner, and it will run smoothly.

There are 2 type of quality levels

1) "Scan quality": This quality level is reduced by any heavy machine within 15 radius (circular area like shine bug). Heavy machine in your pics are power transformer (both regular and small), all rocket modules and gas pump.

2) "Scan Network Quality": This one can be increased by building more space scanners. Please make sure that distance between each of them are greater than 15 radius because space scanner is classified as a heavy machine as well.
