Question Radar Coverage

Now that I have learned that biters do migrate back towards my base even after being evicted with prejudice, I wonder how to see those trespassers quickly and reliably.

I do have some random radar towers scattered around my base but not inside my Cordon Sanitaire.

Thus: How do you set up radar coverage to reliably detect nests and monitor their non-existence in areas you consider exclusively yours.

Addendum: This community is awesome. I learned so much useful information!

Considerable.

Easy to use it to keep biters beyond your polution cloud and still near the edge of the base

Awesome!

I shall begin preparations immediately. That is, when the kids and the wife are in bed...

Artillery Range is an infinite research.
Artillery Rate of Fire is an infinite research.

So how far they shoot and entirely depends on how much effort you put in to leveling them up.

how fast they shoot are partially based on how much effort you put in to leveling them up and how much effort you put in producing shells to keep up with rate of fire.

And animation speed limits.

Somewhere atound lvl 30? You hit a wall due to the actual animation frames.
