If you're going to use them in screenshots or videos, I'd appreciate a credit. Not like they took a lot to make, but I could've been playing the game or arguing on the forums or something instead.

I was setting up the lab in my base, and I decided that, while Alterra's PDA was nice to have on the go, I wanted a bigger screen to really be able to in-depth study these weird alien species I kept coming across without getting eaten (or at least losing a limb or two). Thus, the idea for this was born.
This is a set of pictures I made of the data bank entries for each creature, usable in the picture frame in-game. Once installed, you can just go to any picture frame and select them like you would a screenshot taken with F11. I tried to keep a balance between image quality/size, so they are very slightly blurry as I had to upsize them to fit the frame, but it's really only noticeable if you're standing right on top of them.
Installation instructions: Because of the way the game's files are set up, this has to be manually installed. This was the easiest way I could find to locate the correct save as you're not able to name your game and they don't seem to be in any kind of order. If somebody else knows an easier way, please let me know and I'll update this.
1) Open your preferred saved game and take a screenshot. Doesn't matter of what, just make sure you remember what it looks like (if you've already got a couple, you can use those instead). This will just be to help locate the correct save file.
2) Open your main Subnautica folder (usually C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Subnautica)
3) Open the 'SNAppData' folder and then 'SavedGames'
4) You will see a list of folders called 'slot(xxx)'. Open each one and open the 'Screenshots' folder inside. Once you find the picture you took earlier, extract all of the mod's files into that same folder. If you have multiple games you'd like to stick the pictures in, you can do this again for each one.
Since there are a LOT of fauna in the game, I separated them into three categories. There's also a master file for those of you who want to add all of them. Since it's a manual install, it's also pretty easy to just delete any creatures you don't want.
I pulled these from the Wiki, and there were a couple missing. I haven't had a chance to try and scan them yet (because honestly, who the hell wants to swim up to a Ghost Leviathan and try to scan it?) but once I do, I'll add them in as well if possible. Missing creatures are as follows: Ghost Leviathan Sea Emperor Leviathan Baby Sea Emperor Leviathan Magmarang Red Eyeye
If you notice any others, please let me know and I'll add them in as well.
Future plans: I'll be adding a set of all the scannable fauna, and once that's done I'd also like to add in a set of maps (biomes, islands, and maybe the Aurora) as well as possibly pictures of each crash site and/or escape pod.
