Version: 0.7.0
Date: 2026-10-05
  Features:
    - Added the "Show hints" per-player setting to turn off the mod's flying texts, alerts and warning icons. Chat notifications are always shown.
    - When a robot builds a radar with wider coverage than the anchor, the player who placed its ghost gets an alert.
    - While you hold a radar, radars in view with wider coverage than the anchor show a blinking warning icon.
  Changes:
    - Anchor set and clear messages now name the player, and the clear message shows where the anchor was.
    - Losing the anchor now says whether it was destroyed or removed (and by whom), shows where it was, and is shown in a warning color.
    - The missing-anchor flying text now explains that the first radar built becomes the anchor, or how to designate one when radars already exist.
    - The wider-coverage flying text for a radar ghost now says the radar can be made the anchor once built.
    - The notices shown when the mod is added to a save or its saved data is reset now reach players who were offline at the time, on their next join.
  Bugfixes:
    - Changing the chunk highlight color while holding a radar now takes effect right away instead of after you move.
Version: 0.6.0
Date: 2026-09-03
  Changes:
    - The build-time radar warning now appears only when the new radar covers more area than the anchor, and it names the key that re-anchors it.
    - When the mod is added to a save that already has radars, one radar per force and surface is auto-designated as the alignment anchor.
    - The wider-coverage warning now also appears when a radar ghost is placed (e.g. from a blueprint).
  Bugfixes:
    - The alignment grid now refreshes right away when the anchor is set, cleared, or replaced while you stand still, instead of only after you move.
    - Fixed the missing-anchor warning sometimes not showing again after re-equipping a radar.
    - Anchors now carry over to the destination force when two forces are merged.
