Personal roboports should add a bonus radar coverage to vehicles.

Post by qzjul »

TL;DR
Personal roboports should add a bonus radar coverage to vehicles.
What?
- Personal robot MK1 should add a bonus of 1 square of visibility or 0.5 each, rounded to nearest int to vehicles;
- Personal robot MK2 should add a bonus of 2 squares of radar visibility, or 0.75 squares each rounded to nearest int to vehicles.
Why?
- This would allow tanks to have visibility, and thus make them more useful. I honestly thought they already provided 1 square of visibility when I was first building out tanks to remote around Nauvis
- It would also help with building oversized blueprints from spidertrons, or even personal inventory, in the map view

Spidertrons are the only vehicle type which does include radar coverage in the Vanilla game - this is even alluded to in their Crafting recipe.

Radar Equipment is available, for Tanks and Cars.

Good Luck!
