@Dying Dark Star; I can add a show area for gravity generators give me some time and I will update this! :steamhappy:

Show area is in vanilla, it's just fidgity. You turn "Show On HUD" on the sensor or grav gen, and then enable "Show Gravity Fields" and "Show Sensor Area" in the Info tab, same area as "Show center of mass" and "show antenna range". I agree it should be a single click.

why "Show Area" isn't in the terminal in vanilla baffles me same for the gravity generator

Honestly I didn't know vanilla had one until I posted this lol but ill keep it here as I prefer this one over the vanilla its also easier to enable quickly
