Radar Uplink


Useful radar circuit options. Read individual space platform status and unfulfilled requests to better control your rocket silos. Send signals across surfaces via named channels, with optional interplanetary transmission. Very low performance cost.

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, On-the-way deliveries, 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.

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.


Planned

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

Suggestions welcome.


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