Look at a creature, a player or a structure and know everything about it. Clean panel, outlines in the colors you pick, a crosshair made your way, and full control for server owners.

🆕 New in this update

📍 My coordinates match the game map on every map. On Astraeos, The Center, Dragontopia and Genesis 1 they could be off by 1 to 5 points.

❤️ Health and torpor bars with the value inside: torpor shows the percentage while you knock a creature out, then "Wakes up in 14:38 (-0.5/s)" once a wild creature is unconscious. Large values use K and M.

🦖 Creature icon: the head of the creature you aim at, in a cyan frame, next to its name.

🖌️ Outline by type (Advanced mode): an outline thickness for wild creatures, your tribe, allies, other tribes, gold and yellow. A type left on auto (written in grey) follows the main thickness.

🔢 Gene traits get a numbered level badge (1 green, 2 blue, 3 purple). The level is always shown: the Trait level option is gone.

🎨 Dye numbers in COLORS have a dark outline and are centered: readable even on white or cream.

🥇 Gold outline from level 140 by default (server setting GoldOutlineLevel).

⭐ A new player's spyglass starts on Full, and Reset to default goes back to Full. Settings you already made are kept.

✨ What it does

🦖 Aim and read

• Name with the creature's icon, level, tribe name (found by the server, even when nobody of that tribe is online), health and torpor bars, plus a compact stat grid with wild points, tamed points and mutations for each stat.
• Stats come from the server: a wild creature shows its real values, even on a dedicated server.
• Colors (dye numbers readable even on white), baby timers, gene traits (with a numbered level badge) and active effects (named or not).

📊 Read the stat grid

• 🔵 Cyan: wild points + tamed points of the stat.
• 🟣 Violet: mutations on the stat.
• 🟢🔴 Green / red ("+3", "-13"): point gap (wild points + mutations) with your reference creature, "=" when equal.

🍖 Taming made easy

• The best foods with quantity, time, effectiveness and levels gained.
• The narcotics needed once the creature is knocked out.

🐣 Breeding

• Mutations, colors, gene traits, baby and pregnancy timers.
• "Mating: Ready" as soon as a creature can mate, ideal temperature of an egg.

🟡 Outlines that help, never cheat

• Every creature around you gets an outline in the color of its relation, as long as the spyglass effect is on: 🟢 my tribe, ⚪ wild, 🔵 allies, 🔴 other tribes by default, and you pick each color (8 choices).
• High-level wild creatures shine in gold (level 140+ by default, server setting GoldOutlineLevel).
• 🟡 Yellow = a wild creature interacting with a player: attacking or targeting a player, a tame or a structure, or fleeing after being hit. Yellow wins over gold.
• Turrets (auto, heavy, tek, plant, AOE) get the color of their owner (option, on by default).
• Never through walls, and never on your own mount or shoulder pets.

⚖️ Compare two creatures

• Hold R, pick the spyglass, then Compare: the creature on screen becomes your reference, and the next one you look at shows the point gap for each stat ("Point gap vs Rocky · Lvl 45").
• Clear reference in the same wheel.

📦 More than creatures

• Players, structures and their contents, items on the ground, eggs, bags and supply drops.
• Structures option: turn it off and the spyglass no longer stops on buildings (bags and supply drops still show).

🎨 Make it yours

• 5 presets: Minimal, Standard, Tamer, Breeder, Full. A new player's spyglass starts on Full; settings you already made are kept.
• Advanced mode: every block on or off, panel size (up to X-LARGE, 150%), opacity, 4 positions (top or middle, left or right), outline range, thickness and colors, and Outline by type (a thickness for wild, my tribe, allies, other tribes, gold and yellow).
• Options: Hold in hand, My coordinates, Structures, Turret outline.
• Crosshair: dot, cross or circle, 8 sliders, shadow and live preview.
• My Presets (6 named presets) and last settings kept on your PC; your current choices also stay on the spyglass itself, between maps and after you log out.

🕹️ How to use

Craft a WAK Spyglass (engram level 7, 2 points, same recipe as the base-game spyglass), put it on your hotbar and use it: the effect turns on and the weapon or tool you hold stays in your hands. Use it again to turn it off.

Hold in hand option: the spyglass goes back into your hands, with zoom, and a left click (RT / R2) on a creature sets or clears the reference.

⚙️ Server settings (optional)

Everything goes in your server's Game.ini, section [WAK_SPYGLASS], then restart the map. Nothing is stored in the save.

💡 Good to know

• 🧱 No wallhack: outlines, forgiving aim and target search always check that you can really see the target.
• 🎯 Forgiving aim: the panel holds for 2 seconds on a target that leaves your crosshair, and fast targets are easier to catch from far away.
• 🔒 Server-filtered: a blocked stat or taming value is never sent to the player.
• 🔢 Gene traits and their level badge are on screen with the Breeder or Full preset, Gene traits in Advanced mode, or More details.
