have a something to locate your dead body

[TheAstronaut713]

so i have been playing this game and so far i like it. Have been doing some exploring, but thats also the down side. If i die i can't find my body and retrieve my weapons or items so maybe a marker or something so i can at least find my body and get my stuff back.

there already is a means to locate your body.
equip your handheld mapping tool.
left click to change the set waypoint (displays an arrow and range in the top left of your screen)
one of the waypoints should be your dead body.

same system works for finding your spawn point, or any beacons which you have placed.

Would be nice if "spawn point" remained the point where you placed your bed.
Right now "spawn" is where you last logged off. Great that it saves your info upon exit, eliminates the whole run back to base thing, but it is really dissorienting. Especially since in single player there does not seem to be a pauze when you press escape.

There should not be spawn point at all. Or beacon will be useless

I think your corpse sinks into the soil after awhile like the dead aliens do... I got killed by a sand worm. Re-spawned at my dome. Sprinted to the location. No body.

Yeah I concur, I forced my death after looking at the long and lat, came back and there was no body....there goes my pistol!

Well... at the moment it is survivable without your weapon and other stuff. First time I died, sand worm of course, I had no idea there even was a body to recover. So I took a deep breath and continued without until my save disappeared today... >.>
