Haven't tried it, but it could work if you lay an "X" out of maybe 9 woodframes in front of the building. Player crafted structures are painted grey on the map if i remember correctly. So the "X" (or whatever form you choose) should be visible when you zoom in the map.

Take it to the next level and craft letter blocks and/or sign posts and place them on buildings

Would be interested to know how extending stone age, iron age, steel age will be achieved. Sounds intriguing.  Will loot tables be manipulated based on day/level? How much prolonged time for each age are we shooting for?

The thought came to mind, but sounds like a lot of work and wasted materials for something that could be fixed with a tweak in the code. Not sure how hard it would be to implement, but we already have "Toggle active" and "Show on map" buttons among others. Now we just need a "Show on compass" one.

What about using the same style/coding that the paint brush uses and make a spray can? Can use Paint as fuel, and use a few paint meshes similar to the paint brush? Sure i can run around with a paint brush and paint a block Red for every house i did, but to add some emersion! It would be simple too. Just make the paints transparent fully except the Stencils like an X or check mark and a skull and cross bones... simple little item i bet TFP could wip up in what, a day? Easy

FEMA?

If you're from America, you shouldn't play 7d2d any more.

You have been warned. If the looting starts, the shooting starts. 

Wait...in 7d2d there are dogs...ominous weapons...oh my...TFP saw it all coming.

You are right, that would of course be the most comfortable one.

I just wanted to show a workaround that might help for now. As I said I'm not even sure if a "9-Frame-X" is big enough to be seen at fully zoomed in map. Maybe even a "5-frame-X" is enough, maybe there's more necessary.

Well at least I'm sure it isn't that material and time expensive as a big "I HAVE ALREADY BEEN HERE" made of 20pt type size reinforced concrete blocks 😄

 
good job excellent go on this game is past present and future 😄

she died without a name what a pity: -v

(well actually he was a man) the one who understands understands

clarification: any similarity is mere coincidence.

Guys... there's also PAINT, do you remember? Yes, the one no one uses anymore... 😃

Don't worry, life is like a chicken's coop ladder, short and full of crap.

I wonder how TFP are doing during these times, I know they are in Texas, hopefully they aren't being swarmed by looters . Several of the devs in my company are literally barricaded in their apartments in LA with looters outside the building breaking their windows and stuff, super scary.  One of my NYC customers was apparently out with the looters last night lol, pretty interesting times for nation wide companies, lots of silly tales coming in when customers call

You will have to make due. We've done a little bit of loot cleanup like removing harvest items from loot. There is no point in finding 3 coal in chemical loot when you can get 1000's in seconds mining. So a bit less useless looting should help a tad bit in the backpack space situation.

I like this a lot!

its better then eating a old sandwich from the trash!

fresh Shamway sandwich

Shamway! EAT FLESH!©

Best food.  I'm still waiting for the pimps to add a hairy chest buff from eating one...😅

Sort of an opposite problem:  Maybe have airdrops have more than a single unit of cornmeal?  99% of the time it gets dropped because who's going to tie up an inventory slot for one cornmeal early game?  One can of rations or pasta or chili is worth eating immediately or carrying home.  One cornmeal is just silly.

Air drops are OP. You get about 6 food items, and some other stuff, and don't even have to fight for it.

maybe sometimes zombies would be their waiting. i mean you would think that a Noisy Airplane doping a Box with yellow smoke and the sound of it crashing. you would think that would at least draw attention to 1 ZOMBIE!
