[Suggestion] Able to make separate Marker / Tag for house / base / bed

48 votes

When me and my friends go out to do our separate roles for efficiency, we sometimes tend to forget where our base is on the map. It would be nice if we could place a separate marker on the map to denote where the base is instead of having one of us permanently leave their marker on the house, especially when all of us are out looking for caves separately and want to come back to said caves. Another option is that once we set a respawn point, it would show on the map and would serve as an indicator for our base.

Improvement suggestion. You could add permanent map markers per player/client side that the player can add to the map that carries on through mission to mission. IE I find a cave, I can mark it and then the next mission on this map the cave is marked. Also usable for structures for possible building locations, possible water sources, vegetables or vegetation, multiple oxite depositions or ores in general. This encourages the player to explore and mark things to help in faster pase missions.

I agree this should be a thing as soon as you arrive.

But it would make this obsolete:

But Graeme,

You can't see those on your HUD. At least the last time I checked anyways.

The game needs a more complete set of map markers that don't require players to build a device for each location. At least five, maybe more per player should be allowed, with specialized icons to show what is being marked.

In addition to this, the main/host player should be able to set one 'Home' marker that remains in place to show where the main base is at all times. This should also be a fairly unique one, or be able to be chosen from a set of icons made for the purpose. Every other similar game I can think of has this mechanic in some fashion.
