Bob's radars and big poles are now affected by Big Brothers research. Also, fixes blueprint bug (mostly). Energy values have been rescaled to account for the new changes as well.

The mod will work standalone to patch the blueprint functionality

Credit to Afforess especially since most of the code is his.

Note: as the range of the MK5 radar is quite large if the map has not been generated yet it will take some time. Please be patient.

If there are any ideas to add or anything I have missed (or broke) please contact me in the comments section.

- The patch for the blueprints replaces the ghosts that have been placed with ghosts of the base version of the object so that construction robots can place them down. This means that if you remove the mod they will get removed from the blueprint as well. If I figure out a way to edit a blueprint as it is made I could fix this but have yet to find anyway. I doubt I will get around to fixing this*.

- As ghosts that are placed by the Lua are treated as destroyed objects the will eventually disappear. I tricked them into haveing a time to live of about a year but this causes a small artifact to stretch right of the ghost where the time to live bar would be. To get around this would require fixing the previous issue and thus I also doubt I will get around to fixing it*.

*If anyone has any ideas on fixing these please let me know and I will look into it.
