Short range detection of resources and other objects in the world. All conditions must be met.

The Portable Radar is an Internal-sized component used to search for specified targets in its detection range.
Tips:
- One of the simplest early uses of a Radar is to automatically gather loose Crystal Chunks with a bot. Set the Radar to search for the resources and bind the output register to the bot's Go To register. As with any automated movement, be careful that your bot doesn't run afoul of Bugs while you aren't looking!
