Radar (Combat and defense)
A map-vision infrastructure object.
It serves exploration/visibility rather than production, so show it with military/logistics utility and not as an intermediate stockpile.
When it fits: Build it when scouting or remote monitoring matters to the base objective.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 10 Iron plate, 5 Electronic circuit, 5 Iron gear wheel at Assembling machine 1 / Assembling machine 2 / Assembling machine 3; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. It requires power and placement; the recipe cost alone does not establish coverage or reveal timing.
Changes interplanet circuit links, platform controls, transport and quality rules.
