Auto Map Markers

Overview

Automatically adds map markers to your map when you interact with certain objects. Works both in singleplayer mode and on multiplayer servers. The mod includes three modes for marking objects - you can use one mode (or multiple): either mark the map when you interact with the object (begin to harvest or break it), mark the map by sneaking while looking at the object, or mark the map when you press a customizable hotkey.

Fully configurable to add only the map markers you are interested in. Current options include:

• Flora: resin, berries, mushrooms, flowers, fruit trees, wild crops, reeds
• Surface ore: 14 varieties of surface ore bits, including copper, gold, silver, and others
• Deep ore: 19 varieties including iron, bismuth, tin, zinc, and others
• Misc: boats, beehives, translocators, red clay, blue clay, fire clay, peat, high fertility soil, meteoric iron, saltpeter
• Traders: all 9 varieties of trader

Makes it easier to remember locations and return to those locations later, and eliminates the tedium of manually opening the map and creating map markers. Can also help to ensure you don't miss out on gold or silver surface ore, which are sometimes difficult to spot!

The mod also supports additional hotkeys:

• Up to 3 custom, configurable map markers linked to hotkeys.
• A hotkey to delete the nearest map marker.

FAQ

• Auto Map Markers works automatically with custom map icons and colors added by other mods.
• Auto Map Markers supports patch files to make it compatible with other mods. Instructions are on the mod wiki.
• For multiplayer, must be installed both on the client side and the server side to work.
• If you press the hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+M by default) and it just opens the in-game map instead of the mod menu, it means that the mod has failed to load. Check your logs to understand why, and share your log errors if you would like assistance. Some common reasons include:
  • Using the wrong version of the mod for your version of Vintage Story
  • Using the mod on a server where the mod is not installed server-side
