Are Planetary Chart Markers Supposed To Disappear?

[LunarFirestorm]

I assumed like all the other markers they would just stay on the screen until I visited them, but for some reason it disappeared. Am I just dumb and I was supposed to mark it, or is this a bug?

They should stay even after logging off unless you didn't save the game.

The one's marked from portable signal booster don't stay though.

Are you talking about the Save Beacon?

Weird, I used a planetary chart and it found an abandoned building but it doesn't seem like it permanently marked it...

No, I'm talking about the planetary charts you get off cartographers at space stations.

They should stay unless you have too many of them stored in memory. Also if you are playing multiplayer anyone (not just the person that used the chart) can go to the location and the marker will disappear for everyone.

I'm playing with multiplayer off, seems like it's just a bug which sucks.

There is only a certain amount of memory set aside for things like POIs and terrain manipulations. Once its full the new ones (or the oldest ones depending on how it was programmed) disappear when you log off.

That's the thing though, it disappeared straight away, and I didn't think there were that many markers.

could you have gone "close" to the marker, maybe?

only other idea is if you went to another system and got markers somewhere else, like for quest or using the charts, maybe theres a max number of markers it tracks, and the old ones expired? just a wild guess tho

Pretty sure I "lost" some too. Some seem to get vehemently tracked, like those sentinel repositories, regardless of whether you obtain those from clearing sentinels on a planet or by using a respective chart in your inventory. I actually wish I could make those just disappear, because I'm not visiting those any longer.

Maybe tagging a mark with you visor and "e" when focusing it will cause it to stay whereas it would otherwise vanish. That's what I have been doing anyway when there were multiple markers and I was hellbent on not wanting to lose a specific one.

No, it was really far away, and I'm pretty sure the chart was a reward for something but I used it in the same system and didn't have many markers active.
