Map Pins w/ Tags

Farthest Frontier Ideas and Feedback

It would be helpful to have the ability to place pins on maps that could be tagged and used as reminders. Reminders of something at that location ( iron ore… ) or where you want to place something in the future ( guard towers, outer walls, industrial district… )

The iron ore icon is the worst for me. It blends in with the grey, out of season foraging resources. I know that I can use F4 to pull up mineral deposits, and then scroll around looking for something that has a 3 or 4 digit number next to it, but I will eventually forget where I found them. Being able to pin mineral resources, as you start exploring the map, would make it much easier for planning, and save time rediscovering.

There is the ability to save screen positions, but only a total of three. That way you’re able to tap a hotkey and return to that specific screen.

This isn’t really a solution. Having an area of land covered by a saved screen position only tells me that there was something in that view that I either wanted to remember was there, or that I wanted to remember to build something there.

This is why i am suggesting Map Pins, along with a comment slot. Give them a toggle so you can see those you have placed, or hide them all.

I think using the saved screen positions to allow you to rapidly zoom to extreme points of your village makes more sense than using them as location reminders.

It’s a solution until they implement something like this, but apparently suggesting a similar function is taken as denouncing your entire idea. :+1:

That’s a good idea. Another one is a mini-map that you can click on to go somewhere fast. If you play anything bigger than a small map you’re gonna spend way too much time scrolling around the map for stuff.

Maybe incorporate the two ideas. Have a mini-map on which you can place pins with notes. You can zoom around quickly and make plans for down the road.

I would love a mini-map for the exact reason you mentioned. I spend so much time scrolling around. Using the saved screen positions is really helpful in that you can set them up for the boundaries of your village. Then I just cycle through those and the built in Town Center view.

There is another tread on this subject. Just saying. :slight_smile:

It would, in theory having pins, stop labours getting out of step because I laid down a building so to not forget it, like wells. :slight_smile:

There is? On the map pins or mini-map? I searched up to about 45 days for any post with “map” in the title, and I did not find one about pins.

I had problems with the form search also, but my point was to say that I agree with you and others had as well. :slight_smile: By the way here is the original post, Map pins to help find places - #12 by Crochy
