Better Radar

The radar in Satisfactory is pretty useless, it just slowly reveals the area around it, and since it's towards the late game (requiring heavy modular frames), you will generally have explored a good portion of the map anyway.

This mod revitalises the humble radar, giving it new abilities to reveal un-mined resources and un-opened drop pods, which are shown on your mini-map.

How To Use

1. Research the radar through the normal Quartz MAM research tree
2. Build a radar, as in vanilla, the radar will scan from 50% to 100% of it's max range
3. As the map is revealed, resources and drop pods will be shown on your mini-map

Note:

• Radars placed higher up give a larger scan range
• Radars only reveal things in a cone below their antenna
• Revealing the map checks for line of sight from the radar (i.e. things hidden behind cliffs aren't revealed), whereas resources and drop pods are strictly range based

Future plans

• MAM research tree for radar e.g. separate unlocks for:
• Drop pod scanning
• Resource scanning
• Resource purity scanning
