No map?
Seriously, no planet map or minimap, not even good mods for it, what a joke...

Its not hard to make a map that changes based on planet, every server you ever go on on terraria has maps, every server is different, with different biomes and maps, like its that frustrating for me, that im probably not gonna bother playing this or recommending to anyone.

But hey what a shame i have an opinion and you come over as a bit of an ass, instead of being constructive or heck even making a suggestion on something i haven't seen yet that could help. Big yikes.

Your opinion sounded like "this game is bad and not even the community can fix it, half assed"
How many world do Terraria servers have? How much blocks can you fit in a large world in Terraria?
Now how many planets do you have in Starbound? With how many blocks?

If even the community, which is probably one of the most competent community for games this size, couldn't make a minimap/map mod, do you think it would be just as easy as putting 3 lines of code?
If it's not that hard then make it yourself? Or go back to Terraria, I don't know. You offered a negative and weak opinion and haven't asked "why" or "anyone ever tried". Just "game bad because no map".

EDIT: It literaly took me 15 seconds to find a mod that adds some sort of decent map :lilimsob:

Talk about taking things out of context, take your butthurt ass out of here mate.

We probably both have better things to do
Learn to use a searchbar next time, it would avoid this kind of conversation

This game is not terraria. The Planets are looped, you can keep walking right from your base and you'll end up back at your base. Why would you add minimap to a looped area? that just looks stupid. and besides, There are alot of planets in this game, you'd think the devs would add a minimap for every single planet? Besides you have alot of building space, you can literally build whatever you want. And the mods that the community made are legendary. You want a map? Code your own or use a Search bar.

Do you really need a map? You can set teleporters and every world is looped. Your directional options are to the side or down, so it's not exactly easy to get lost in most cases. If you can't find a landmark to remind yourself which way to go, you can make a landmark of some kind pretty easily or at least a torch trail if it's underground or difficult to remember.

... Mate you didn't search mods for ♥♥♥♥. Go to the workshop and search "Minimap" and there's a mod right there. Jeez, and you out here calling everybody an ass. Besides Starbound is constantly changing maps (Teleport travel, diferent plantets, missions, ect.) so it makes sense that there isn't one or is hard to code. Terraria only has to load one map at a time per session.

Yeah, this game is massive compared to Terraria... Use Bingle instead of talking $h!t, or actually Try.

Always remember to check if a game has Community/Workshop. *

Already seen it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1743592138&searchtext=Minimap Theres a big difference between something good, and something that can ♥♥♥♥ your whole save. 'and you out here calling everybody an ass' Where? I specifically called one person an ass, and it wasnt even calling him exactly an ass lol
♥♥♥♥ what a shame i got a bit angry that theres no minimap, didnt expect others to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over it, though i do appreciate others who can actually provide help and not literally be a fanboy and defend the game till they die, instead of just giving an idea of something to do, like this chap, he didnt come in all guns blazing, i mean ♥♥♥♥ i forgot it like against the law to have an opinion or get pissed off by something

I quite clearly did....

Man 4 people answered you. Two of them gave really good points as to why you don't need a map or why it's not in the game and you keep acting like a child. If you used your eyes just a tiny bit, you would have seen that someone with the name of "TehScourge" made this comment for this mod
"The ESC thing is inavoidable and unfixable. Limitation of the lazy, poorly documented, and really terrible API modders have to deal with. As it is, I understand Rexmeck had to use some rather "hacky" and convoluted Rube Goldberg methods to bring this project as far as he did. Probably not something that will ever be fixed unless CF magically decides to fix or replace the API. Not something I'd hold my breath waiting for. Unless your intent is self-forever-sleep"

Here is your answer. "Its not hard to make a map that changes based on planet" you said.
Yes I acted like an ass and I don't care if you didn't liked it. This game is not Terraria. You won't get anything served on a silver plate if you say you want it in a unpleasant way. Again, if it's that easy, make a mod yourself instead of sinking yourself deeper. What a joke
