cleio81 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 While I don't mind the fog of war and whatnot it would be really cool and helpful if little Icons would pop up on your compass when your close enough to a structure but still out of render distance. It could be nothing more than a small "X". Do you guys think this would be an awesome feature? or would it just break immersion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter34 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Visual range isn't good currently. Large structures need to be visible from a further distance, by which I mean buildings and mountains. But if that can't be achieved, or until the devs can achive that, some kind of compass indicator of "significant structure" ahead would be nice, where significant might be any collection of more than 70 building voxels. The threshold needed, 70 as per my suggestion, is because on many MP servers I've been a lot of half-finished structures, usually just wooden pallisades encloding a space of 2x3 or 3x5, but completely abandoned, and not really something that much can be done with. I'd very much like for those to not show up on my compass, whereas larger player-built structures, ones with so many placed voxels that they're likely to be finished (or at least not abandoned) should show up.

cleio81 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 that would be cool too. But I was thinking more world generated items like barns, campsites, towns, ect. nothing player built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharen Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think that would be a great idea. They could make it a green tent symbol, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleio81 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 It would just help point us in the right direction without having to increase render distance. right now we just wander around aimlessly hoping to bump into something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
