The code snippet in the PR is loading for you, right?

The current way to play mining cyborg is to not touch the scanner when you spawn in, so it stays on without being in your active hotbar. Uniquely for cyborgs it has code to always spawn enabled, and to always be enabled even when unequipped. Part of this code is nonfunctional, and its highlighted in this issue. It is a bug.

Oh I see, it spawns in enabled. It turning off when it goes back into your storage makes sense to me (I think welders do this too?) but it should definitely be one way or the other

This isn't a consistency issue, its clear this thing is supposed to be always on for cyborgs. Read #78524. Its totally unintended, quote This module allows for the same ability to discover, but this is not the case currently.

If cyborgs are supposed to keep 1 slot reserved to scan for minerals, that should have been added to the changelog, because its an extremely significant nerf.

Still happening, still irritating as hell to waste a module slot on.
