Useful radar circuit options

Space Platform Uplink

Read space platform status and requests to better control your rocket silos. (Especially paired with a circuit controllable silo mod I'm working on)

• Read platform status like current orbited planet or current space connection, current speed and progress along space connection.

• Read unfulfilled requests (Standard mode)

• Read raw requests, rockets on-the-way, platform hub inventory, total hub slots (Raw mode)

Implemented using hidden combinators and wiring for almost zero on_tick cost.
The raw read mode works with unlimited range if enabled in options.
(Note that this means signals are 2 ticks delayed to the real platform status)

Cross-Surface Signal Channels

• Send signals across surface via named channels, or even enable interplanetary connections in the settings.
  (Alternative to AAI Signal Transmission)

Re-implements the vanilla 2.0 behavior where radars connect their circuit networks to each other across the surface.
This mod lets you restrict communication to named channels and has a setting to allow selected channels to transmit interplanetary.

Note that this has no tick cost or signal delay.

Looking for suggestions for GUI and functionality

Planned

• Selecting and iterating platforms/channels via circuit signals and text patterns for very powerful circuit setups
  (Basically done, let me know if you need an early release)

• Not only dynamically iterating channels, but also dynamically creating them, essentially allowing circuits signals to dynamically send data

• Optional limitations for signal channels, like only allowing cross-planet comms if stationary platforms act as relay satellites

• Reading entity counts in radar range to detect enemies or get even more creative

If you have ideas or use-cases, please post them in Discussion.

Here's a simple circuit to calculate used inventory slots:
