Show range of character to build things

Current:
Trial & Error to find out if you are in range. Object ghost turns green when in range.

Problem:
Not a good UX flow. Need to move building-ghost to see range.

Proposed:
Show range around character
(Highlight, circle, slight glow, etc.)

Good idea!
I am sad to say, however, that I don't want this feature.
An option to turn it on/off would be nice.

Yes. I would even add a third option:

ON/OFF/Only when having item in hand

Yes please!
This is very confusing and frustrating to new players who haven't learned the building range yet.
I have seen numerous Factorio reviews when the author can't place a building because of the range and thinks there is something wrong with the game.
He is an example of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6UopB5 ... e&t=30m39s
