Summary0016705: Limit scouting range (or make it decay over time)?
DescriptionI always found it to be weird that a single scouting station is apparently enough to explore the while map over time and keep it revealed as well. Again in terms of exploration...

IIRC this is a feature.

Internal notes:

-- Scouting and sonar exploration range to max out at 20 around the building that exists. So each individual scout can only go within that distance of its own building. If you are manually scouting a location, it uses the station closest to the location you choose.

I really like this idea(even if their is going to be no chance of having a scout failure mechanic) I love being surrounded by darkness and having no idea what's out there fully exploring the map takes away from that for me.

Yeah, I agree -- this way you have to work your way out more carefully, too, which is good.

For 0.855:

* Scouting and Sonaring can now only be done within 20 tiles of one of your active Scout Stations or Sonar Surveyors (respectively).
** This applies to both manual and auto scouting.

Thanks :)
