Spider units can optionally have a built-in radar range, but cars and tanks cannot. Please allow non-spider units to have a radar. If possible, allowing this for trains would also be nice.

This already exists for all vehicles: chunk_exploration_radius

I see. In that case, please add to the documentation that this field and radar_range have the same effect.

Do note that it's the spider units (e.g. pentapods) that have radar_range. Spider vehicles have one and only chunk_exploration_radius, which is exactly how the vanilla defines it in its prototype code. There is no overlap.

...I may be stupid.

The descriptions were very lacking anyway, so I've expanded them for 2.0.69.
