[2.1.8] no ingame hint about radar circuit network features
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2026 7:23 pm
[expected] the item description, factoriopedia, or tips and tricks interfaces explain that radar can be used to transmit signals over distance without wire
[actual] no mention of the mechanic anywhere ingame
[reproduction] look at the item description for radars or their factoriopedia entry
fail to learn about radar circuit features
most mechanics in factorio are either explicitly explained or arise from experimentation, but i think that this feature isn't as likely to be discovered because it's a bit of a leap in logic that radars would be useful this way, given their primary function, so it'd be best to make note of it for players who haven't heard about it through patch notes or word of mouth
