Suggestion:
After a rocket launch containing a Satellite, the Satellite should begin detecting underground or hidden ores in revealed tiles. It scans and reveals tiles one (or more) at a time, like the radar, but also uncovers hidden or underground ores. Like the radar, it would have a limited range it can scan determined by where the rocket was launched.
I suggest incorporating the Satellite because:
- 1) It's already in the game (don't need to add an ore detector)
2) The radar functionality is already in the game, the satellite would be similar with the exception/similarity of the limited range
3) Adding more ore prior to satellites would complicate the existing balance for research/construction
