Finding and Placing Your Radar
Open Creative mode and locate the 
doppler radar in your inventory. This device lets you monitor weather patterns and incoming dangerous storms before they reach your base.
Choose a flat, open location away from steep mountains and dense forests—these terrain features interfere with the radar's signal. A hilltop, plains biome, or cleared area works best. Place the radar on solid ground where it has clear sky visibility.
Reading the Display
Once placed, the radar will begin scanning your surrounding area. It displays real-time weather data including cloud formations, moisture levels, and approaching storm systems. Watch for dark signatures on the radar that indicate supercells, squall lines, or tornadoes.
The radar's range covers a significant area around your base, giving you advance warning of dangerous weather. Use this information to secure your structures, gather animals indoors, or prepare defensive measures before severe weather arrives.
Consult the 
doppler radar guide book (found in Creative inventory) for detailed interpretation of radar patterns and what different signatures mean for your survival.
