A Factorio mod to automatically place ghosts for Radars at the optimum distance for complete coverage.
Each time a radar is placed check the ideal placement chunks for existing radars(or ghosts), and if not present place a ghost. Optionally clear an area around the radar (mod settings, per save?).
Probably will not be placing power pole ghosts.

If you've got two grids they'll intersect blindly. Search should include all chunks within the full coverage range, and maybe check if the radar would cover an uncovered chunks.

Performance could get wonky with range extender mods.

Speaking of range extender mods, how to handle Satellite Radar or Big Brother?
- Relative coords handling
- Chunk granularity level coordinate treatment
- Radar coverage area encapsulation
- Optional dependency on known radar adding/modifying mods
- RSO Radar
- Satellite Radar
- Big Brother
