Spidertron Radar Quality
Spidertrons reveal a larger area of the map as their quality increases.
Every spidertron has a built-in radar coverage area. With this mod the coverage grows with the quality of the vehicle, exactly like the continuous coverage of a radar. The value is shown per quality in the tooltip and in Factoriopedia, just like other quality-scaled stats.
Quality Coverage radius Area
Normal 3 (base game) 7×7 chunks
Uncommon 4 9×9 chunks
Rare 5 11×11 chunks
Epic 6 13×13 chunks
Legendary 8 17×17 chunks
Performance
The area is only revealed again when the spidertron enters a new chunk (or every 5 seconds while it stands still). Normal quality spidertrons are not touched by the mod at all.
Notes
Works with spidertrons added by other mods; their own coverage is used as the base.
Safe to add to existing saves. Remove it at any time; nothing else is changed.
