RTS: Patrol Mode + Turret Detection Cone

[SMOLKEYS]

Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing.

The gist of this is simple: Rusted Warfare's patrol mode, where you can select units and make them move to different points of the map in a loop, but in Mindustry.

About the other one: Basically, a Turret field that makes turrets have a limited detection cone, essentially making the turret's "vision" limited.

Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche.

I know that logic already can do this in it's own way, but it's a bit confusing (and probably impossible for new players) + Erekir is a thing.

It also allows mapmakers to create about damn near infinite patrol points for units.

• [X] I am familiar with all the content already in the game or have glanced at the wiki to make sure my suggestion doesn't exist in the game yet.
• [X] I have read README.md to make sure my idea is not listed under the "A few things you shouldn't suggest" category.

What's the use of the detection cone? Just curious.

Modified turrets.

A "cone" is a bad idea if the turret cannot be placed directionally. If it can be, and the turret is powerful enough, this would be really interesting, basically an "unbreachable defense" until a singular unit gets behind.

The "patrol points" feature is kind of bad imo, especially since units are meant to be either disposable, or, for higher tier ones, to be manually controlled, also the pathfinding is, from my experience, not nearly good enough to be able to be handled automatically.
