Summary0012712: Show explosion range to user
DescriptionI decided to blow up one of those explody barrel things. When I hovered over it to get the description, it said that it had a range of 1. I assumed that meant it would only damage squares adjacent to it when it blew up.

This is dead wrong, and very misleading. I don't know what the range of 1 refers to, but it certainly isn't its explosion radius.

Do you mean a Fuel Tank?

"Explodey Barrel thing" could probably refer to half the objects in an average building in the world of Bionic. It's one of their major quality-of-life issues, I think ;)

Ah yes, Fuel Tank. It would be nice to know its radius before blowing yourself up with it.

Like with other enemies, you can hold control on mouseover to see their radius :)

Showing it on shift (or just all the time) would get ambiguous.

But for 0.925:

* The Fuel Tank tooltip now says range of 4 instead of 1. Range doesn't generally mean "splash area", but since the tank's attack range of 1 is not actually relevant to the game...

Thanks :)
