Glow in the dark street signs

Okay so a lot of people want a map for this game but give it time, I'm sure 1 will come, in the mean time if you are having trouble keeping track of where your base is, rambaling around the woods in the dark try to find where you came from, then this 1 TIP will guide you home. :)

So you've come to a cross roads and don't want to get lost finding your way home in the dark.

Stop and get out the car (make sure its safe 1st) and open the build menu (pressing B) then make your way to the lightpoles like in pic 1 and click to position blueprint pic 2.

Rotate the point of the lightpole to the direction you just came from, pic 3 then place lightpole pic 4

DO NOT BUILD THE LIGHTPOLE :) just leave it as a blueprint and it can be seen for miles around even through the trees day or night, when you dont need it anymore just cancel the blueprint. there you have it never get lost again with 1 easy tip.
Have fun not getting lost. :) (ps will post some night screenshots when i remember to grab them lol)

Everything I have placed in the game so far I have built the same, so I don't know how far you can see them.

But that they shine as brightly as indicated there, is to sight.

That should still be so far to see, on Day and Night.

I have written that it is good that it works like this.

It would be bad if you had to build them, because the tool loses way too much durability when you mine materials and then build things.

In many games, the construction sites disappear if they are not started, or belong to those that are only a marker on the ground, or only light up in construction mode, or have to be built from material beforehand.

really old thread :) and i don't play this game anymore :)

but what are you on about???
placing blueprints costs you nothing, you are not making the lightpoles, you are just placing the hologram for it, so what durability is dropping? what power? you are not building anything lol

Meanwhile there is a map. / Not so useful.

But there are no markers where you are, unless you have a pencil, and then the whole one is used up just to mark where you are while the map is still open, as soon as you close it you have to use one again to see where you are.

1 time have one that you at least know where you are in the world.

And with this information you can at least make some in the world that you don't need a single stack of pencils in your inventory.

I haven't built any light poles yet, but in the end they may need electricity or fuel, and if not they still cost too much durability of the tools to get the building material for them.
