Welcome to another Foundry Friday
Hey guys, it’s time for another Foundry Friday. This week, I am your host Yog(Cheerio). Today we’re going to be talking about changes to the in game map to help you keep track of the new resources deposits that you can discover in Foundry:
Previously on Foundry Fridays
On a previous episode of FF, we showed the new ore veins that you can discover by scanning the world:
There are also more ore patches to be found below the surface:
But now that we have all these cool things to find, we need a way to keep track of all these valuable discoveries.
Map Improvements
Coming across a new resource deposit is great but sometimes you’re in the middle of untangling a big ball of spaghetti and you want to keep track of your fancy new discovery for later. This is where the new map features come in.
The first thing you might notice is there are now map layers on the right side of the map. So even though we’ve added a lot more information to the map, it’s always possible for you to turn off any information that might be in your way:
The next thing you might notice is this outline which represents the scanned areas of the map:
This represents the areas that you’ve scanned with your scanner.
As you scan more of the map, any resource deposits you come across will be displayed with an icon:
Sometimes, you might scan an area, there might be resources in the area that can’t be scanned until you unlock the appropriate research. In these cases, you’ll see the approximate location of the resource:
And then finally, once you unlock the appropriate research, the resources in these areas will be revealed without having to go back and rescan the area:
In Summary
Hopefully this gives you a glimpse of one of the tools available to you when exploring the world of Foundry. If you have any thoughts, please come join us on our discord.
Once again,
Thanks for listening!
