About Black Map
From Factorio Mod PortalThe map will be black, you need more radars.
This is an extended version of the original mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BlackMap by darkfrei.
It is compatible with multiple surfaces, when a surface has moving radars (like spidertron, artillery cannon) but no players.
When using Space Exploration, the area around a player character is constantly charted while in satellite view.
It adds a remote interface for whitelisting surfaces that are to be blacked: remote.call("blackmap", "register", surface)
