[Suggestion] More waypoints or map markers

I would love to be able to put a marker on the map itself where things are. I know there are beacons but those require a blueprint point and possibly another entire crafting bench (I'm not sure I'm guessing because frickin everything needs its own bench) and I feel like I should be able to mark it where and when I want

Totally agree with this. Another thing to add is to make those markers persistent. Whenever we load another mission, they will stay there that way we can have continued knowledge of what we marked since it's the same planet. It shouldn't disappear every time you start over again. It like erasing our brain or talent points each time we drop again. Doesn't make sense.

It would be great to have your base marked on the map as well as the bedroll that you are currently bound to for respawn. The base marker could be set by a T1 flag or something and the bedroll can just have an added feature that when you bind to it for respawn, it automatically marks it on the map.

These markers should also show up on the compass.
There should only be one base marker per instance and to move it, the flag needs to physically be removed and planted in the new location.
The bedroll marker should only be visible to the individual player and not other group members.

The game is incredible as is, but there is a small problem, THE PINGS, if u can put more into the game it'll be awesome! pings like: Caves icon, or house icon, etc etc...

Yes, persistent map markers, like when you find a cave you can mark it. Don't like relying on 3rd party websites that shows/spoils all the locations, much more fun to discover yourself and mark them on the ingame map.

Excavated Cave Marker, Base Marker, Mini Base Marker. One point that disappears after logging out is not enough.

I believe the ability to make custom map markers is even more vital now with Open World mode. It is a staple in most, if not all, open world survival video games, so it is a very conspicuous oversight and would greatly improve QoL for Open World players if it were added.

it would be nice to leave markers on "baces/cave's/deep ore nodes" rather than constantly moving the single one currently also a few options' for icon/colour of markers wouldn't go amiss.
helpful for long explorations and planning routes without the need to open map every time.

is there a way to add multiple markers to the map? sort of like a nav point or waymarker. Example- a cave I am actively working, or location of a particular item on a map that I will be spending loads of time at. Would be helpful for me.

Put the ability to mark the map with waypoint and comment to indicate point that the player want to remember like position of a base, cave entrance.

I think it would be nice to have more different types of waypoints to use. It would be cool to have an icon for a base, maybe a cave icon to mark caves, or plant icon etc... I think the single waypoint per player is not enough unless you have a third party website open with a map of icarus and all the markers.

I like this suggestion. I recently made a similar post (https://icarus.featureupvote.com/suggestions/368922/update-workshop-item-player-tracker-module) but I after thinking about it, I think these changes should be updates to the default map as it would also benefit open world play which could be some players preferred game mode.

Also, allow those waypoint markers to be placed permanently, not disappear every time r/l interrupts and you have to return to the character selection screen for a while.

Drawing a map and marking a spot with a pencil should not be something locked behind a "mobile beacon" items that is super expensive to craft.

If it needs to be part of the unlock tree, fine, but put it in tier1 or 2 and call it "cartography".
