Absolutely amazing,
turns what use to be a tedious and boring task of placing radars in a grid into an interesting game mechanic.

There a so many different ways you can use radars now!
-Slow long range map updating on minimal power.
-Fast small arc scanning of active enemies.
-Circuit based conditions to change settings using signals!

I have 4 scanning radars scanning in their own N,S,E,W 90degree arc.
They use 500MW each and they are hooked up to some circuitry and an accumulator.

As my accumulators loose power over the night the speed of my radars will slow down.
Conserving power for more important things!

This should be in the game.

But is this radar "discovering" new chunks constantly?
Is it possible to use it only for visibility? I like this idea of setting limits.

It sweeps the same circle continuously.
