I had tagged a couple scrap components about a week ago (Cork, Oil, Nuclear material, etc.) and noted that when I highlighted an item with that component in it that the little magnify glass would appear next to it's name. This is the way I understood it was supposed to work. All's good.

Well now instead of that the items are glowing green (my HUD color). I noted it first when I saw a baseball all lite up laying on a shelf. I thought it might be some kind of special ball, but no it was just a plain baseball. Now I'm noting that everything with my tagged scrap (globes, oil cans, etc.) are all glowing bright green. While I like the fact that they are easier to find now, I really can't stand how these things stick out now.

This just started this last weekend. Was there something in a STEAM update that caused this to start happening? I'm not running any mods right now so I know it can't be that.

Is there a way to turn it off (other than un-tagging it)?

Thanks.

It is because you have taken the second rank in the Scrapper perk. It will light up items you have tagged.

Freak. I hate it. If there isn't a way to turn it off I'm going to have to un-tag everything. Damn it. Hopefully someone will mod it.

Oh and thanks.
