About Manis Planetary Radar

From Factorio Mod Portal

A heavy planetary radar that provides surface-by-surface ecological and threat intelligence: enemy populations, nests, and optional integrations with Manis mods.

(en) Manis Planetary Radar

Manis Planetary Radar is an information-focused mod that visualizes enemy presence on each planet.

By placing a Planetary Analyzer next to a powered Planetary Radar, you can view a clear summary of enemy units and nests on the current surface.

This mod works fully on its own, providing an easy-to-read enemy population overview without changing enemy behavior.

When used together with companion mods, additional information about Demolisher activity (such as movement signs and recent movement counts) will be displayed automatically.

■ How to use

  • Place a Planetary Radar
  • Place a Planetary Analyzer adjacent to it (8-direction adjacency)
  • Provide power to both machines
  • Click the Planetary Analyzer to open the UI

If requirements are not met, the UI will clearly indicate what is missing (radar or power).

■ Displayed information

  • Enemy unit counts:

Biters, Spitters, Worms, Pentapods, Demolishers

  • Enemy nest counts:

Biter nests, Spitter nests, Pentapod nests

  • (Optional) Demolisher activity information when integrated with other mods

This mod does not modify enemy AI or spawning by itself. It is safe to add to existing saves.
