You can craft an Atlas, and it will be your map for a single planet. You can have a separate atlas for every planet.
If you want an Atlas to update all regions you've discovered and not just the ones you were discovering while having it on you, you need to get a clean one and sync it.
You can give the old one to a just starting player so they have a bit of a map if you want.
Edit: Moral of this story: An Atlas orb isn't dynamic. At all.
Yes I did, in all cases, I always carry my atlas on me for each planet. Sadly the game fails to ever "Discover" a new area 50% of the time. It's fundamentally bugged/broken currently.
If you know of a way to "force" a discovery when standing in an area, I'd love to know how, I've thrown my atlases into storage now because the bug makes them compeltely useless.
Spluffy: I'm sorry that makes absolutely no sense, can you elaborate on how you tricked the game into making it work? Newly synced atlases are just as bugged as old ones, newly synced atlases don't even show the area your currently in.
Though I had another weird thing happening as I was missing 2 zones of the 50 on the planet I was mapping and they showed as filled up on my atlas, so it was pretty hard to figure out which zones I was missing.
So yeah guess they can still use quite some bugfixes, and perhaps made a bit more helpfull then just the heatmap for tracking resources.
Ah, thanks. I've seen that text and always wondered what the hell it meant. I'll give it a shot.
A blank (new) Atlas will when wielded and used, sync to the existing amount of discoveries you have. Syncing a blank Atlas with your discovered regions can be very handy if you have friends joining you, since you can just give it to them, and they'll be able to use it as a resource filter, even though they haven't discovered those areas themselves.
If they want to see what they haven't discovered they need to get their own blank Atlas and sync it themselves, which will populate it with their discoveries.
It doesn't magically change what zones are on it, it only does that on sync.
Example: You're on a planet with a friend, you have discovered one half, the friend the other half, between the 2 Atlases you can see everything if you switch them out depending on which half of the planet you're on, but they will never fill up unless you actually discover the zones that are missing on it.
Another example: You have maxed all discoveries on a planet. You take a blank Atlas, put it in your hand, use it, and it will sync to your discoveries, and populate the whole globe. Then you can give it to a friend, who can then drag an iron ore onto it, and they'll have a heatmap for the whole planet, even if they themselves have discovered absolutely nothing.
I don't think you can zoom in, it's function is mostly to find resources. Drop a resource onto it, and the brighter areas indicate where that resource is most dense.
If the above was possible it would also be so much better to find the specific resources as well, as currently it still takes a ton of hammers to find it in the global area where it is supposed to be concentrated.
Also pulling out the resource is done with X (default keyboard), took me a while to figure that one out even when it was shown on the screen ;)
