How to remove map markers

[Hairybolux2000]

I read somewhere in the discussions that it's possible to delete map markers from the map..Could someone tell me where the delete option is please ? Clicking on the marker on the map does nothing, I can hide it from compass/map, but that isn't what I want to do.

Open map and click on the marker, Delete. But there is a problem with markers and I noticed 10 to 20 markers in one stack, that I wasnt able to delete. So I just gave up

You can't remove markers for the HUB, the space elevator, or truck/train stations, only hide them from the compass/map.

Most likely you also can't remove auto-marked resource nodes from radar towers without removing the radar tower; Havent gotten to the radar tower yet since U6 though, so can't personally verify.

There is no option to delete the marker. Right or left click on the marker does nothing , physically pressing the delete key does nothing. Doing the same from the menu on the map doesn't work either.

If it's a removable marker, the delete button is painfully obvious:

Well thanks, but that pop up window doesn't appear.

Is it a custom marker, or a generated marker?

[Hairybolux2000]

I added some markers from the line of markers at the bottom of the screen,

Can't get rid of them now.

Already said in this thread that there are some things you CANT delete from the map. They're automarked. You can only hide them using the left panel.

Truck stations dont let you left or right click on them on the map, for example. Vehicles like explorer/tractor/truck can't be removed either; only hidden. And you can't individually hide them, only hide the whole group from compass/map.

Similarly, trying to click on the hub map marker just brings up current milestone, clicking on the space elevator icon just brings up current progress on the current stage.

And I surmised you can't hide things revealed by a sensor tower without removing the sensor tower.


What you CAN remove/delete are markers that You personally placed, and stamps you personally placed.

If it's something you're positive you personally placed, We'd need to see a screenshot of what exactly it is; But if it really is something you placed, you can remove such a hypothetically bugged marker using satisfactory calculator's interactive map/save editor.

Load your save here, find the offending marker(s), right click select delete.

Have used that link you gave, thanks. Will be a lengthy process if I have to do that every time!

After using that game save editor, the map markers are now behaving themselves. Apart from two that won't delete, but I can live with that. Thanks for all your help.

I came across this old thread and saw no solution was ever posted. I ran into the same issue. If you click on a marker on the list on the left side of the map, it doesn't do anything. However, if you click on the marker in the map itself, it will select the marker, and _then_ you can delete it. Not being able to select a marker in the list itself seems like a bug, apparently a very old bug...

Still having this problem and no-solution works. Haven't tried save editor as it's a multiplayer save

This worked on Update 8 stable branch in my game. For me, hadn't played in a good long time, dropped a beacon and was confused by its different behavior (yay maps!), this post was exactly correct for me. Hey thanks!
