I think it'd be neat if the method of signal finding/connection had an extra gameplay option to switch back to the OG (0.8.X and prior) way where you just press enter to try and scan them. The new way is too complicated for my dumbass.

It's not really "complicated" as much as it is tedious and much slower than it used to be. Kinda like most of the new systems. Thankfully, I have settings to turn most of this new crap off.

But the signal detection isn't that complicated. Just make a triangle with the three nodes around the signals. Gotta make sure the inner circle is big enough to detect the signal. Going big is an option, but going too small isn't.
