How do I set waypoints?

[404_Not_Found]

This game's waypoints are TERRIBLE!

I can mine an entire deposit of uranium and still have the empty hole where it used to be show up on my map.

But if I lose sight of an unknown building, like for example, if I flew away in my starship to wait for sentinel heat to die down, it doesn't show up on my visor anymore?

What is this absolute nonsense and WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS, NMS?

Can someone tell me how I can set my own markers to get around this game's ludicrously arbitrary visor readings?

you just press E while in visor mode, not sure if there is a limit to them but to make them go away you gotta press E on the one you want to go away

Save Beacons also add markers, and can be colored.

I've never had save beacons make markers when I activate them. Do you mean the ones yo find or the ones you craft?

Also thanks. I did it by accident once but couldn't figure out what I did. I thought I tried pressing E at nothing, maybe I need to hold it?

The ones you craft. Drop 'em and they'll leave a marker.

... of course it can't just be the ones I find even though they share a name. >_>;

Guess I'll figure out how to get the visor ones to work.
