Waypoints and Pings

[DarkSmoothie]

Overall I think you hit the nail on the head with the multiplayer version of Don't Starve and kept with the survival ideals.

I think something you could add would be a Ping feature where the player can ping warnings or assistance or on my way or whatever that other players can see.

Also a waypoint feature on the global map that shows up on every players screen that can be toggled on and off to make early navigation easier.

Thanks

So while waypoints are useful with the current individual maps, I think it would be simpler just for there to be one shared revealed map.

 

When playing LAN all in the one room, the map may as well reveal for all players' explorations, and always show positions, since it's just an annoyance to need to tell other players where you are. I imagine playing with voice chat would similarly make it not useful to hide info.

Make signs changeable and make them highlightable on the map?

Me and a few mates had a LAN world last night, and I found that navigation did become an issue. As long as everyone has seen the base camp once it's found the navigation issue isn't so bad. A global map and player icons however does seem like a good idea. I still feel like pings could be a good feature to add.
