Let me know what you guys think.
Back before the ranger teams were updated to scan all of the animals in a territory, each individual dinosaur had to be scanned which would take some time. This was an upgrade I always go for since it reduces the scan time by 90% and makes the process significantly quicker.
After the update, however, I never find myself using it again, as it never felt as though the scanning time matters anymore if it is 1 second or 0.1 second when scanning an enclosure's population in one go. So what if instead of decreasing the scanning time, this upgrade could increase the duration of the status check time?
Each time a dinosaur gets scanned, the status check time would reset to 10 minutes, which is plenty at first. As I slowly grow the park, it does take more time for the ranger teams to visit each enclosure, and I would eventually have some far-off enclosures that would have dinosaurs not scanned yet since the ranger vehicle is passing by many enclosures on its way. If we were to put on this upgrade, it could extend the duration to 20 minutes instead of 10, making parks with a larger dinosaur population much more manageable. Even 15 minutes should be plenty if 20 minutes seems too generous.
