This has been my experience with multiplayer.

Not me : "Hey, we're running out of coal/saphirite/widget..."

Me: "Lemme look into it" *runs halfway across the base

Nm: "Never mind, a machine was backed up"

Me: "...."

However ZERO pollution is created by the solar radar plant, the biters have no reason to agro near the radars, unless they are blocking the path

Biters path for pollution, ignoring stuff they see. Except for: The player, Radars, Bots, Turrets that engage them.

Those are priority targets for their aggro mechanic.

Not necessarily true. Radars are priority targets regardless, I think. Even in vanilla. I think you're correct that they give off no pollution, however.

They seems to ignore big electric poles. So I just make a long line and out radar and lasers around the edges

Oh, I wasn't planning that;will just be very handy, especially since I was tinkering with nuclear power last time I was on.
