I miss some way to turn visible what the area I am is.
When our factory gets bigger, it's easy to be lost in each section of it.

My idea is allow the player install billboards showing icons or text, or both.
Ground spraying could be another option.

Graphic Example:

There are map markers on the main map you can use (even letters to spell out messages) but I do wish that they could be set as waypoints and that shows them on the edge of the screen/even on the minimap to run towards

You can make signs already you just have to be creative, some can be done with light walls and others with concrete, they're never going to be as small as yours but generally by the time I need signposts I don't want to be zoomed in enough that those signs will be readable when running around between projects, any sign you implement should be visible from the furthest out zoom point
