RADAR
A radar for tracking alien activity, such as Surveyors, provides an action screen when player elects to capture signal by heading towards it (before it disappears). See 'PROJECT 2025 - WIP 06, 07' devlogs. See Haggling below for how to purchase a track option over an alien.
FUEL GAUGE & 'NEXT ROCK' SCANNER
A fuel gauge sits atop the Radar. It also doubles as a scanner defining approaching rock type.
