Map



The Map, once researched, allows engineers to view areas of the world that they either have explored or scanned using Radar Towers. It is unlocked via the Quartz research chain in the M.A.M. In a multiplayer game, the map is shared amongst all players.

Once researched, it can be accessed with or  button, and zoomed from 0,5x to 8x with the slider or mousewheel. It can be dragged around with mouse.

The engineer or Radar Towers have to be positioned above the terrain in order to reveal it (for example, when travelling through a cave, the terrain above the cave is not revealed).

Map icons
The following icons show up on the in-game map:
 * Engineers
 * Death crates
 * Vehicles (excluding Freight Cars)
 * The HUB (shows active milestone when hovered over)
 * Space Elevator (shows Project Assembly phase and loading progress when hovered over)
 * Beacons
 * Radar Towers and revealed area
 * Resource nodes scanned within the past 25 seconds
 * Truck Stations (shows their contents and loading mode)
 * Train Stations (shows whether they are connected to Power and consumption)

The following does not show up on the in-game map:
 * Player built structures
 * Power Slugs, artifacts, Crash Sites
 * Resource deposits
 * All creatures
 * Poison Gas

Map filter
Once available, a map filter menu in the map allows for the appearance of specific icons to be configured, separately for the map and the compass. Icons can be either shown or hidden on each. For Beacons, extra configuration is available, where it is possible to make the Beacon only show on the compass when the engineer is a certain distance away from it, indicated by a circle shown on the map.

Displaying factory plan
The in-game map does not have the ability to display factory plan or any other player-placed buildings, only basic details are displayed. To be able to view the factory plan on map, upload the save file to an Online Map instead.

Online map tools
Save files can be uploaded to some maps, allowing for analysis.
