With radar you can choose what you want to look for with R key or Ctrl key which opens Part Control. So you can definitely scout around looking for ore you need even without plan.
I added it later, slight guiding in games can feel very nice. Well realistically game is not even one week old and I added Radar on day three I think. I share progress on X too https://x.com/JackpotSeek Might need to do it on youtube also if this catches more traffic.
the game is less than a week old and u already added radar on day three? that's actually impressive haha btw, i've really enjoyed chatting with u about your games haha would u be comfy continuing our little game dev convo on another platform except X as i dont have it? no pressure at all if you'd rather stay here!
