Scanning the same area

• BigBeej Jun 27, 2013

  Are there diminishing returns when scanning the same areas? Is there a benefit to scanning different areas where you have influence, or should I continue to spam scan the same area?

  No, no, and yes!

  Thanks for the quick reaponse. One more question. If that is the case, how does the radar really benefit you? My understanding is that it increases the area you can scan.
• TheMattVid Jun 27, 2013

  I am not sure, but it seems to me, that every time you scan for resources, it will scan the entire radius of the blue circle that you tap. A larger scanning area might mean you might get more resources each time, but I could be wrong. The other possibility is that it is useless.

  I think there are plans to make different areas give different returns, or so etching like that. But they're not implemented yet, so the radar doesn't do anything

  Ok, thanks for the info. Might as well replace the radar I used for now.

  Yeah... I don't notice a huge difference when using them so far.

  The radar extends the area you can lay your next 'turf'.

  No, radar extends your scan area. The vehicle depot extends your build radius.

  Tell that to my radar, it doesn't understand that rule.

  What I have noticed is that the radar makes it possible to find resources outside the circle.

  No. The radar increases your scanning radius, not build radius. The vehicle depot is GS's police map.
