GIANT SKELETON Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Right now the map is kind of cluttered and not really useful. I don't think knowing where every harvestable piece of grass is located is that important. Also, important things, like where I left my tent, are not shown on the map.How about have a more basic map, with different colored ground for where it is a stone path, grass, sand, swamp, etc, and then have us able to add our own notes to the map? That would make it more survival-like. You could give us a couple of different shaped icons to drag and label. A lot of older games let you make notes on the map like this and for a survival game it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCinematic Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I kinda like some of the simplicity of the map, though last night I noticed that the bridges had the same detail as the rest of the areas, which kinda looks like the bridges are made out of grass. Some faint color-coding wouldn't be too bad. I would also like to see a couple more icons in the legend such as for the tent and a single icon for farming. With that said, if I put fifteen places down to plant crops, I don't want to see a cluttered map. Just one single Icon. Maybe give it a radius on the map so those won't become problematic.

Toaster Fu Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A good way I've found to find your more permanent base is by using the science machine which when placed does show up on the map. But I also concur about the grass it's not really a hard to find resource, I'd much rather have flint show up then grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCam Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 flint is very little and doesn't stand out as a landmark. I would rather have recognizable big pieces, such as boulders, pig houses, paths (how come the paths do not appear on the map, that's the main way to find your way !) To please everybody, it could be possible to have a bare map with just the type of ground, and then select which elements you want to display : player made buildings, grass/bushs, rocks, ennemies, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Fu Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I totally agree with the customizable map idea, and if not a fully customizable map at the vary least an option to take off grass. *puppy dog eyes* And unless I'm mistaken pig houses used to show up on the map.
