Adds three new radar types, unlocked after researching each module type. Each radar has a unique design and fits its own purpose.

Red - Rapid Scan Radar: This radar has a much shorter range, but scans its area extremely fast. You can carry it with you when traveling, and periodically set it up with a power source to reveal terrain.

Green - Low Power Radar: This radar scans the same area as the basic radar, but much more slowly, and it uses much less power. This is useful to install in your base after your basic radars have finished revealing terrain. Over the long term, the radar will update the terrain and reveal any biter base expansions, but mostly it will just provide map vision inside your base.

Blue - Long Range Radar: This radar draws a very high amount of power but has a very long range and scans pretty quickly. Use this radar in the mid-game to scan for new outposts. This is highly useful on rail world or when using RSO mod.
