Capture your adventures across the Settled Systems, then bring those memories home with custom badge plaques, posters, and community photography for your ships and outposts.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- 22 Photo Mode Frames
- 21 Custom 3D Badge Plaques
- 21 Badge Posters
- 14 Decorative Posters
- 41 Community Collection Posters
- 97 Total Placeable Decorations
The 21 custom Badge Plaques include:
- 12 Biome Plaques in segmented light-oak frames
- 8 Finder Plaques in dark chrome with illuminated teal rings
- 1 Explorer's Eye Title Plaque
Plaques feature closely fitted collision so they can be arranged together into clean badge displays and achievement walls.
The Community Collection features Explorer's Eye photography contributed by Roy, Elise, and Michaela, reproduced with written permission and credited to the original photographers.
ONE EXPLORER'S EYE BUILD CATEGORY
All placeable decorations can be found under the dedicated [Explorer's Eye] build-menu category, organized into:
- Badge Plaques
- Badge Posters
- Decorative Posters
- Community Collection
IMPORTANT - UPDATING FROM BEFORE v1.3 Beginning with v1.3, Roy's Explorer's Eye was converted to a [Small Master].
If you are updating from an earlier version, decorations previously placed from this Creation will disappear from your save and will need to be placed again.
--> Take screenshots of existing gallery walls before updating if you want to recreate your layouts. <--
This is a one-time transition caused by the Small Master conversion. The conversion also prevents Explorer's Eye from consuming a full-master slot and resolves the previous issue where other Photo Mode frame mods could hide the Explorer's Eye category.
COMMUNITY THANKS Sweetpea704 - whose Tailored Spaces demonstrated the clean approach used to create the dedicated Explorer's Eye build-menu category. DownfallNemesis - for guidance on console texture conversion and helping make the Xbox release possible. MrZHDarkstar - for the recommendation that led to the Small Master conversion.
Explore. Photograph. Earn the badge. Hang it on the wall.

1.00== Small Master Conversion ==
NEW v1.0 — Small Master conversion
IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE UPDATING: this update converts Explorer's Eye to a small master. One-time cost: decorations you placed from this mod will disappear from your save and need re-placing (1 structural + 1 fiber each). Screenshot your gallery walls before updating if you want to rebuild the layouts. Everything you place from v1.3 onward is permanent across all future updates.
Why: a small master doesn't consume one of the limited full-master slots in your load order, and it resolves the long-standing caveat where other frame mods could hide the Explorer's Eye Photo Mode category. Thanks to MrZHDarkstar for the nudge.
Also fixed: build-menu icons now display correctly on every item — the (!) markers are gone for good. -
