So this is weird. It was crashing on alerts earlier in the week. I turned off the audio alerts and it seemed to keep running OK. After a reboot and windows update, I turned the audio alerts back on, and it's still working. So maybe some sort of version-specific compatibility issue? Strange.

Well that's bizarre. Glad it seems to be working for you, but I'd definitely be happier if I knew what was happening and could fix it. I'll still probably take a close look at where it might be happening (seems to be a problem with access to modified closures, for anyone in the audience who understands what that means) and see if I can apply a speculative fix.
Can this be used to identify / flag up bodies in your journal with biological surface features?
That actually would be very handy to get lost of pen and paper while fss'ing!

That's certainly possible I would think, just like minerals, it's just an entry in the journal.
But is that entered in the journal and so retrievable via this? That is my question.
So yes, I could certainly add something that reads the surface scan event and shows you the number of bio and geo (and thargoid and guardian) surface signals. But as madprof pointed out that data is only written in the surface scan, not the FSS scan, so unless you're in the habit of probing every planet you come across that has surface signals it will be a woefully incomplete list.
And on a more important note: would it be able to do that before that awful in-FSS scan of a particular planet completes? I'd very much like a way to circumvent having to wait for that...
Already addressed. No. The FSS doesn't log surface sites.
I think i have phrased that poorly. What i mean is: Would observatory be able to notify me that there are biological signals at all? I'm not interested in the sites themselves, just in the information whether there are biosites or not. Since the FSS does show us that information upon scan completion (which, as most of us would agree, takes too long), i figured it might be parsable somehow...?

Biological, no. It isn't logged at all and there's no other indicator in the FSS detail scan.I think i have phrased that poorly.

Geological, not definitively. The only indication is the entry for geological activity ("silicate vapour geysers" or whatever), but that isn't a 100% guaranteed indicator that sites exist.
Too bad, thought i'd finally get around waiting 10+ secs for those scans. Thanks for the clarification!

Yes, this is the STUPIDEST thing FDev did - tying stuff to frames... The ImportStars.txt file import process is tied to frames too..I hear you. If it helps at all, disabling any frame rate limit or vsync you have enabled will speed it up slightly, as the scan time is tied to frame rate. Though it's possible that knowing that will just annoy you more.
...are you okay?
Lol, yeah, unsure what my mobile in my pocket tried to tell you
sry!

First it was space madness, now it's pocket madness. Where will it end?
