Tech Hunter Map Icons (Lost Libraries, Ancient Labs, etc.) not showing when used?

Hey all! Not sure where to ask about this, but maybe I'm mistaken about how these are used?

I bought a good few tech hunter maps over my playthrough and only now noticed when I actually use them, nothing new appears on my map. I've zoomed in max and panned over the entire map, and only regional maps and maps of cities and small settlements seem to have worked. Any idea what could be causing it or how to fix it?

The sites from the tech hunter and engineeering maps are a lot smaller than towns or waystations, so their map icons only appear when you zoom in further than for waystations.

However they usually are located far off from cities and the like and are really easy to miss on the worldmap.

It is a tad easier if you use a bunch of those location maps at once and then open the worldmap immediately - there will be a green frame around the new locations which makes them marginally more visible.

On your map they will only be labelled as 'Ruin' though until you actually pay them a visit.

Ahh, so anything labeled as 'Ruin' needs to be approached then it will switch to whatever it actually is?

i believe that is correct.

Not always called "ruin" specifically. But yes, most ruins have "undiscovered" names, which used to hide their actual name until you visit.

Alright thank you very much. I was wondering if my markers weren't working because I had seen others with the locations marked as what they were :)
