I started a fresh playthrough from scratch and decided to leave the relay beacons. It occurred to me that the relay beacons I didn’t destroy, work as spawn or at least aggregator for machines.
Unfortunately relay beacon icons don’t stay on the map. I think the location of relay beacons should work like regular locations: once discovered the icon should stay on the map (unless the beacon gets destroyed).
Relay beacon icons work similarly to plundra/ bike station/ recycling station/ crafting station icons. Meaning that when you’re certain distance of them, they show up. And once you travel further away, they disappear.
If relay beacon icons would remain on the map, until you took it out, it will clutter the map since there are already loads of icons shown on map.
That’s totally true. I’m thinking about loud: what if there was a filter option to toggle certain categories on and off. I know that this is a very special case and that this probably never will come but I thought to myself why not at least ask
It’s an option but i don’t know if it would help. Especially since the clutter issue appears when you zoom out the map. But if you zoom in, the icon spacing gets far better, without overlapping.
Though, another question would be: what those categories could be?
Since the FNIX rising DLC there has been far more relay beacons. I’ve taken to finding them and come across maybe 50 in total. Idk how to put it all together but I have every screen shot of every relay beacon and their location. I was wondering if I could give these to someone to make an updated relay beacon map. Idk how to make that dont have a PC rn.
