I got this idea for the satellite,why not make it display a map?Like first you have to build a rocket for a small satellite,then fuel it with the flamethrower fuel.After that you have to build a display connected to the ground satellite,and voila,a map!But then glass have to be implemented or a clear plastic.Also it take a lot of time to research this(alien artifact required!).

No, it is M, but the minimap needs to be upgraded.

oh. there is a minimap in already?
Do I need radars for it to work? I think I should need them.

i did'n notice the minimap
.But i was thinking like a big map thing where you can see everything,and then if you want to bring along a map,you have to print it.But i guess the minimap will do

I find the minimap fairly pointless right now... you can just zoom out

I think you need to make a map from paper or somthing futeristic ,and you will need to explore to see it on the map all the ore and wood and enemys

A paper map would be limited to the terrain.. I am not sure I would have a significant use case for it.
The map I could have an use for should require building radars in the area that is to be covered.
(The actual image map would be simply projected onto your eyeballs as the rest of the OSD is)

It's far from pointless if you're driving your car around at night

lol, I find it more fun to see how long I can go without hitting anything
but it makes me wonder every time why there isn't a 'glow' (not sure what the proper word is) around the car like there is the player...

Shouldn't it make you wonder why there IS a glow around the player?
It's usual that you turn off the interior lights in the car while driving...

it makes sense, but sometimes it's confusing only knowing whats directly ahead of you...
