map annotations - feature request

[angrysquirrel]

It would be great if you could annotate things on maps.  In other words, write in some text what could be found at a location (i.e. put a note that "ring thing is here" at map location when your inventory is full).  The problem is some things show on map and other things don't.  Some things that would be nice to show on minimap:

 

rabbit holes (to show a food resource when you're away from base and you don't have enough resources to put down a trap).

 

thing locations (ring, crank, box, and thing I can't find yet. )

 

a way to draw (or at least put text in) where wormhole takes you.  Hard to memorize at least for me given all the wormholes.

 

 

And something slightly off topics.  One map I played I couldn't find pig king.  Is he on every map?  And on another map I couldn't find a frog pond (searched whole map).  Do these things always appear or is it random?  Thanks!

Pig king isn't on every map. Only one I agree on is the wormholes. But I'd rather just have them color coded. Rabbit holes, I can remember and I always try to set up near rabbit holes anyways. Also since the things have their own setpieces you can tell which one is which just by looking at how the set piece looks on the map.

This belongs in this section, not general. And there are Mods and tiles that do that now. 

 

And yes, Pig king spawn rate is 75% per world.

@ cattafett. Thanks for that info with that map mod once it's updated. That would go a long way to a more descriptive map. @thetruthseeker.  Maybe you can move the post to a different spot.  Can you give me a direct link to the mods and tools that do that now.  Your link didn't help.  I'd prefer a mod though since I don't know how to do scripting or programming.  Thanks for your help.

@angrysquirrel

I'm not a moderator, so I can't move anything, sorry. Game suggestions go to the suggestions and feedback section. that's all my link is. if you'd like mods, that is in this section. I can't say what is the best way to find mods for you unless you tell me which Don't Starve Platform you are on? Steam, Standalone, Chrome, etc?

Yeah, I always wondered where the big (H) for helicopter was on the map. They need to add that soon.

[angrysquirrel]

Hi Truthseeker.  I'm running Don't Starve on Steam.  I've downloaded a lot of mods through the program interface thing where you can add mods.  I also went to the steam page where more mods are located (in game theres a link that has featured mods and then a link for more mods.).

Okay, not sure if they are still current after the last update, but you can go to DS Steam Workshop and search for "map." If the program is there, it would be found under that.
