Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted to scratch that itch. My only suggestion would be... the whimsical name makes it unnecessarily hard to find and identify it. Something boring such as "mining patch coverage indicator" or something like that might help more people find it.

Yea sorry the mod was made in a rush during a playthrough and i didn't want to leave my basemate hanging, luckily the sister mod has a better name:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/agricultural-tower-placement-helper

See? I am using your agricultural helper mod (without re4alising it's by you) for a while already, probably because it has a great name :-)

Guess it's time to see what other mods you made.

unfortunately mods cannot be renamed without contacting wube support, and it would break mod updates, and if the display name on the portal differs too much from the zip's name it can become quite problematic, glad you're enjoying that other mod btw.

Sure, I made my point :)
