Database Terminal (Locker Search)

About this mod

Overview Adds a new craftable Database Terminal to the Builder menu, placed under Interior Modules next to the NoA Terminal. The terminal scans every container type within a 25 m radius (extendable) and provides a hand‑crafted interface to browse, search, and pull items. Multiplayer‑safe; each player must build their own terminal.

Features

• Buildable Terminal: craft and place from Interior Modules; uses a modified ComputerCore mesh with custom materials to resemble an Alterra data access point while remaining distinct from the standard NoA terminal.
• Full Inventory Browser: scrollable list showing every item across all nearby containers.
• Items grouped by type with thumbnail icons.
• Sub‑rows per container display container icon, label, count, and a PULL button.
• Alphabetically sorted by item name.
• Scans all container types within a configurable radius, including lockers, tailing chest & jar variants, battery & power cell chargers, bioreactors, processors, etc.
• Category Filter: sidebar buttons for Minerals, Flora, Fauna, Gear, Power, Food, Medical, Materials, and an All view.
• Search: type in the search box to instantly filter items by name.
• Remote Item Pull: click PULL to transfer one item from the source container directly to inventory.
• Multiplayer‑safe validation prevents duplication; displays “Item no longer available” if another player already took the item.
• REFRESH button re‑scans containers for updated data.
• Custom Animated Loading Screen: handmade animation with hex grid glow sweep, radar pulse, and Alterra glitch logo; can be disabled in settings.
• Per‑save‑slot state persistence; each client needs to build their own terminal.
• SN2ModSettings integration for scan radius and loading screen options.
• Responsive layout for all aspect ratios and localized container names.
