Will We Ever Get an In Game Map In Subnautica?

[Arasine]

I hope so. We have nano-relicators, sonar, display screens and drones so why not?

Unlikely. It has been repeatedly requested over time but they've never taken action.

I suggest having a map on a laptop next to you, or else alt-tabbing to a map when needed.

The best map by far, in my opinion, is this one:
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/1/1d/Subnautica_map2.png/revision/latest?cb=20170326001243

Although a bit older, the only thing it's really missing is the Crag Zone. It also lists a coordinate grid (most don't) and shows all the reaper leviathan spawns (which are static and easily avoided).

And in case you weren't aware, hitting F1 in game will show your coordinates (among other things).

After you've seen it all you won't need one. All you need is to look at the Aurora and the cloud banks to know the general direction of everything. Once you're down so deep you can't guide yourself that way the tunnels are distinct enough that you won't get lost often. All else failing, always carry a few beacons with you and drop one when you find something you think you might have trouble finding again.

Won't a map make this game a bit too easy though?

Only if you think the game's "hard" element lies solely in bumbling around aimlessly.

Doesn't it though? :p The rest is just farming and dodging.

Personally I've never understood the appeal of putting a map in a picture frame, since simply looking at the same map out of game is a hundred times more convenient.

Well, hence "hard" in quotes. I guess I'm just not keen on the main feature of a game being a lack of information for the player. Information is a good thing!

I guess. But if you play in windowed mode you can alt-tab easily.

Anyway, I just keep one up on my laptop here on my desk. Oh well.

The game already has a map inside the game files which you can then place into screenshots on your save and access it anytime with your pda. You can also just download a map and resize/rename it then place it into save file/screenshots as well, use pda to view it anytime.

Yes i would love to press M and bring up a detailed map of areas discovered, possibly labeled as well.

Its floating in thin air :D
It was the closest I could get it to captains chair.

If I could choose "one thing you wish they'd added" a map would be mine, and it does make sense what with the Aurora being so far out.

I love this game, really I do, but I pretty much wouldn't believe anyone claiming they got all of the blueprints they wanted without having to google locations. No. You just can't see that far out when under water, wrecks are real easy to miss.
