What is the new round blue overlay on the map?

    I noticed since the patch came out today that the map and minimap now show some round blue overlays. These seem to be related to base construction, as in some cases they align with bases. However, these blue overlays don't appear on all bases and when I built a base it didn't get a blue overlay at any point. At first I thought it might be related to the yellow overlay of a player base Orbital Strike, but then I noticed when other players had an OS set up the yellow ring indicating OS range was not aligned with the new blue overlay.
    I didn't see anything in the patch notes about this new feature. Any ideas?

    It's meant to be the range of a routing spire which shows how far away the routing pad can be placed.

    AFAIK it's also inaccurate and broken right now as well as stupidly shows on the screen of every player who can't pull a router from that spire anyway.
