In order to avoid cluttering the map display more than it needs to be, asteroids in close proximity to other asteroids are considered a single entity as far as the map is concerned, and will be shown as a single pin. This means that someone can still sneak up on you if they approach from the opposite side of an asteroid with their broadcasters turned off - keep your head on a swivel! If they do NOT have a beacon or antenna, or if the block isn't actively broadcasting, then you will only see the pin on the map if you have direct Line of Sight (LoS) with the object. The first being that if they have a beacon or antenna broadcasting, and you can see it on the HUD, then you can see it on the map. Whether or not something gets displayed on the map depends on two criteria. The maximum range for the map is 5000m, which should be plenty for a general purpose I&W system. For server admins and single player games, there are also some admin settings that can be changed, which are discussed in the Admin Menu and Admin Commands section.Īs this is a 'free' radar for all intents and purposes, I've implemented a few limitations so it's not too cheaty.

Then, simply add this mod to your mod list, and you're good to go! There are some settings you can configure to your liking, which are discussed in the Mod Menu Settings section.

The link to that can be found under the Required Items section on the workshop page. For starters, you'll need to snag Draygo's Text HUD API mod, which is what this mod uses to draw the map on screen.
