How to place markers on the map?

[Demian]

Does anyone know how to place (multiple) markers on the map?

I could be wrong, but I think the only way is to craft the little way point thingy which is T4. I have not tried that yet though.

... the update notes were misleading. You cannot make more markers. What it did, was put markers on your compass for other players, and for your drop pod, so you don't have to mark your pod to know where to extract to.

You can still only make one map marker. (I thought from the patch notes that we were getting multiple markers, too, but that's not what they did)

one of the most requested things...and something that should have been in game from the beginning in my opinion. we have the tec to bring up a map but cant mark said map with mutiple markers...is just strange logic.

Well, this, and a minimap would be awesome. Always flipping up the big map stops the character from moving. And it is hard to recognize all the hotspots you want to visit.
Would be awesome to have this stuff finally.

Btw.: What is this signal module in T4 good for? It says "It marks a location on the map". But what kind of location?!

But hey you got a Thumper to destroy everything and a Freezer and Salt. Essential items for every Icarian that doesnt live near food! :-)

a lot of this game is to keep you playing in terms of time logged on or just playing. the longer we are on pausing the map or just stopping it shows that people are playing and that equals money for them. hey look 35000 people are playing today......nah dude they are just looking at the map trying to figure out where to put ramps to go over the mountain

Interesting point!

Yeah, I just got it as a joke, but after thinking about it once more it just popped up "Hm, wait a minute. That's not that odd... BEHOLD!" XD
