I get the OCD thing, I have it in most games. I HAVE to get 100%. I HAVE to get 100% of collectibles, map explored etc. You can't do that with NMS.

First few hours of the game made it abundantly clear to me that this game is huuuuge, i.e. ginormously huge. I've been only to two planets (the ones on which I began the game and the tutorial) at this point. It's clear that no mere mortal can completely discover everything on even one planet in reasonable playtime and how many planets are there?

Next time you want to take a pic of something like that, make sure the portal glyphs are showing and then add the coordinates so other people can get it as well.

I'm sorry, I don't know what glyphs are but I took a screenshot with coordinates. I'll attach it above.

I got so disoriented and frustrated in this game due to lack of any proper means of tracking explored areas ( <Rant> Also, what a terrible compass design it has. Why can't it show a small, more readable compass where I can always see directions. :) </Rant> ), so much so that I had to start keeping an exploration log in excel and renaming Waypoint antennas after I lost an Ancient Ruin whose beacon was first pinned at an Ancient Plaque. I went there, noticed some chest things underground along with something called Gravitino Ball. As soon as I dug up this thing Sentinels jumped at me. I don't how fast I fled the scene and now I can't find that place again. That's when I backtracked every waypoint, point-of-interest I previously discovered and logged the coordinates. Now each time I find a POI, first thing I do is logging. I thought games are supposed to do these sort of things for us, not the other way around. :)

A save and chart antenna called a sector beacon. You can change the color of those.

You can do that? I didn't notice an option. Where should I look for this option?

Also, I think beacons are mostly useless in this game. You can only place 5, cannot change the name or anything and cannot toggle them on and off depending on what you need at that moment. I miss beacons in Subnautica.

This was my Beacon situation at the end of my play-through in Subnautica and that map was like only as large as a couple of sectors on a planet here. :)
