Looking for a mod that makes sun lamps and trade beacon coverage areas square

I just really like neat and organized and designing my base with those just irks me. I'd be willing to decrease the diameter by 1 and decrease overall coverage as a result just to have them be square. Anyone know of a mod that changes this?

Can't you modify it directly in the Buildings_Furniture.xml and Buildings_Misc.xml? I'm not good with computers so I don't know how to re-define it to a square area rather than a radius, but it should be simple enough to figure it out by looking at the definition for the windmill blockage area.

Yup! Most of these kind of things are written somewhere in an .xml file. It's fairly simple to change things around, but I would exercise caution when editing anything in the "Core" subfolder or otherwise making a back-up of the default. You never know what might go wrong.

I took some time looking through the xml, found the items, but can't figure out how to modify their radius. Anyone out there that can give me some guidance?
