island symbols

[nadroj151]

just wondering where we find info on what the different island symbols mean on the map table. (talking about the ones that can be selected on the side

[Nicolas Fournier]

You can learn and build Beacons later in the game, it allows you to place those symbols yourself on islands

[crimsoninsomniac]

is there a guide to what they mean? Like if an island is showing up not as green but yellow with a cave/! point over it. Ive been all over the island and cant figure out why the dot is still yellow.

[Ebatya]

Okay, so beacon it`s great.
But any legend about it?
Or we unlock the legend later in the game?

Yeah, that`s what I really want to know, not just marking them

We left it up to you to choose what the icons means for your playthrough! A bit like the pins in hollow knight

Colors:
Grey is unvisited
Yellow is unhealthy
Purple is corrupted
Green is healthy and discovered

Icons:
KG is too heavy to sail
Tree with exclamation mark is unhealthy
Mushroom face is corrupted
Question mark is unexplored
Other icons are your own from beacons

Shape:
Pebble is standard island
Fresco is an island containing a fresco
Question mark is an undiscovered fresco

Thanks for the complete list. I was just about to go pull out the response I had gotten a few months back when I ad asked, and your list above is way better

what I'm talking about is the symbols on the side of the map table screen, specifically the triangular one with the triangular spiral in the centre as one of the islands in the first zone spawned with that, and I do not know whether I should be looking for some important item or just moving on

Yeah I was answering crimson's question, but my original answer if what you're looking for! Those symbols don't appear naturally on islands, they're placed by yourself through the beacons that you unlock at some point. Those on the right are to filter through your placed beacons

> Those symbols don't appear naturally on islands, they're placed by yourself through the beacons that you unlock at some point.

I have not unlocked the beacons and I have the top icon on the filterlist (the triangle one) on a number of islands I have visited... what does it mean?

[Azirios]

Would also like to know this. Some islands start with symbols on them already when you hover on the map, like the triangle mentioned in a few comments here. Am I missing a collectible or special resource if there's a triangle?

[Crasher]

I also have these symbols on the islands, and I have not created a single beacon. I have an island that looks like a G on the map, then one has the dot in the circle and another the triangle G. I did not place map markers anywhere so I am unsure what they represent.

I wish I could save this post! Thank you man!

I think this was meant to be another way for players to learn how to make beacons, in case they never learned it through those knowledge anchors or knowledge stones.

I had an island with a triangle symbol. I found a bunch of short stumps on it, but one of them looked too neat. When I removed it with a hammer, the symbol was gone. I think it was supposed to be a partially built beacon, like the many building pieces scattered on various islands that you can learn to make via sketching.

Of course, not being one of the devs, all I can do is speculate on the purpose of these random beacons!

That's not the case in my game, I've only just placed the map table and haven't unlocked beacons yet, but several unexplored islands show the beacon symbols
