Sharing Map and Markers

[Rich]

is there anyway to share your map and markers with group members?
if not, would it be something that will be implemented in time?

[evil tomatoes]

there's a mod for that in nexusmods if you need it.
we opted for the mod that needs people to be around to press F5 to share, same concept. works fine.

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE MAP PROGRESS

Everyone in favor, say AYE!

[CushyCrux]

No, but yes this could be an option to tick on a server. But I also like the necessary talking in the team to describe the way to go and set marker on the map etc.

That's a good point, i'll allow it!

[MF SPAWN]

Why?

[Athos42]

This and the possibility to share map notes.

Tick show on map shows all players.

This could be solved with 1 new item to the game, a world map that when you activate it, you add your progress uncovering it on the share map, and the map also updates your personal map. So anyone on the server can go to the map, activate it when they join, see the world as it has been uncovered so far and then go to a place that is not explored yet, and when they come back to the map they can add their new progress back to it for the group.

While you are out exploring you can still communicate to your group about what you're finding, but when you get back to base you can leave that info in the map and log out and everyone can still know what you uncovered.

This is the most lore-friendly way to do it, and it bypasses the need for a world/server option. It even has an advantage in that players could share information with some players, but not others if that's desired such as in a PvP server.

[CushyCrux]

There is no PvP, and it will get renamed to "friendly fire". But +1 for Captain Lemming.

Why?

so other people can see the map

[RasaNova]

Mixed feelings about that...

I played on a server a bit that used Valheim Plus with map sharing enabled, which on the surface seemed great. But then I realized I had no idea which areas I had been to vs somebody else, which areas had untapped resources, that sort of thing.

But I do I like the idea above having a separate world map for players to update.

[Washell]

Until, if and when, me and friends started using this and it's working great so far.

Yep at this point 98% of the stuff people come here to complain about can be addressed with mods but many people would prefer to demand that the devs do it for them instead of just doing it for themselves.

Excellent idea!
