fac-observe
The situational read: entities in range, production flows, alerts. Composes the bridge's /status, /observe and /telemetry into one call.
Behavior
- Lists entities within
radiusof the center — name, position, facing, status, warnings, contents. Same-name swarms (belt runs, poles) are summarized with a count and extent. - Observing also updates the bridge's observation cache, which is what deviation classification compares against — observe first, act second.
- Appends production telemetry (per-item flows over the last minute) and any recent alerts.
- Resource patches in range are included as summary lines — e.g. "iron-ore patch (~608 tiles, ~436829 units) @ (-39, -22)" (position is the patch centroid). Use fac-nearest when no patch is in range.
- Water and cliffs are terrain, not entities: an empty listing does not guarantee buildable ground.
