[2.0.20] Minimap does not account for Cargo Landing Pad or Roboports when displaying existing radar coverage

Post by Xenonex »

Playing the current experimental 2.0.20 with Space Age on Steam.

1. What did you do?
I selected a Radar to place, and looked at the minimap where it helpfully displays existing continuous radar coverage to decide where would be useful to place additional Radars.

2. What happened?
The minimap displays (in blue tint) the "prospective" continuous radar coverage for the held Radar as well as existing continuous coverage from other Radars only, but not from any other buildings which now also provide continuous radar coverage in 2.0 / Space Age.

3. What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected the minimap's "blue tint" indication of existing continuous radar coverage to take into account all permanent (ie not Spidertrons) sources of continuous radar coverage, such as Roboports and Cargo Landing Pads. It is currently misleading and seems to imply I need to add more Radars than I actually do.

4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
As far as I can tell, this happens always when placing Radars.

Here is a screenshot showing the player holding a Radar for placement, where the minimap displays the existing continuous coverage from other Radars in a blue tint but does not display the continuous radar coverage from the nearby Cargo Landing Pad or Roboport.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I hadn't searched properly to find the existing report for this.
