Signal Triangulation

Your radar towers can already detect alien artifacts — this mod lets them triangulate them. Research Signal Triangulation in the MAM and every uncollected Somersloop, Mercer Sphere, and crash site (hard drive) inside your radar network's coverage appears on your map at its exact location — even in unexplored areas. Expand the network to triangulate the whole planet.

How to unlock

1. Research Radar Technology in the Quartz MAM tree (the vanilla Radar Tower node), plus Somersloop Analysis and Mercer Sphere Analysis in the Alien Technology tree — your radar can't triangulate signals it can't classify.
2. A new node, Signal Triangulation, appears below Radar Technology: 1× Hard Drive, 1× Somersloop, 3× Mercer Sphere, 10× Superposition Oscillator.
3. Research it and open your map.

Features

• 🗺️ Map markers with proper artifact icons for every Somersloop, Mercer Sphere, and unlooted crash site inside your powered radar towers' coverage — grow the network to find them all (or set ST.RequireRadarCoverage 0 for whole-map reveal)
• ✅ Markers disappear automatically (within ~10 s) when you collect an artifact or loot a crash site
• 🎚️ Each artifact type is its own map filter category — toggle Somersloops, Mercer Spheres, and Hard Drives independently in the map sidebar
• 💾 Save-friendly: nothing is written into your save; uninstalling leaves no trace
• 🖥️ Dedicated server builds included (untested — reports welcome!)

Console toggles (optional)

ST.ShowSomersloops, ST.ShowMercerSpheres, ST.ShowHardDrives (0/1) — same as the map filter toggles, for keybind enjoyers.
