An option in settings to clear Fog on the map

[Rabbits Love Cactus]

Title says it all.

On a side note, if someone knows a console command for this, can you please let me know?

What do you have against fog? It's part of nature in the real world, as it should also be in the game.

Go to the console, type:

weather fog 0

That should turn off fog.

No not weather fog. The map fog. You know the opaque layer that hides the map.

My understanding is the map isn't pre-generated so there's nothing to show. That is, as you explore the world and the chunks load, the game is deciding which of the decorations (ore nodes, trees, etc) to place. Since the in-game map displays that detail, it cannot exist prior to your visit.

What might make for a possible request is to have a simplified map stand in for unrevealed features and that simplified map perhaps comes from world generation similar to what you see during the map preview. On multiplayer, it would then have to get sent to the players as part of joining the server so you would get a bit more load time.

I think that is Fog of War

Someone made a mod for this a little while ago but I haven't tried it myself as I play solo.

Seems that mod is for sharing fog of war progress with party members. That is also pretty neat. I'd like to have the option to remove it. Now I just take a screenshot of the map I generate and I have to alt+tab out to take a look. Maybe another cool idea would be to have a slim chance to find the map somewhere in the world, kind of like Zelda dungeons.

There's no good way to reveal fog of war without 3rd party software, as far as i can tell.

Maybe you can turn on creative and fly around for a few minutes to reveal everything. Not the fanciest way to do it but it'll work.

You mean something like this?



This is a map I took a screenshot of when I made a random map in the game. It is not a lot of detail but gives me at least a general idea of the map and where cities are located.

That's the RWG Preview. While it is a useful map, it isn't the same as the in-game map, which will show the mining nodes and other things. It sounded like the OP already was looking at this kind of map, but wanted the more detailed map, which evolves as you play.

 

[Rabbits Love Cactus]

Exactly. Thats what I do as well. Would be nice if we could disable the fog of war in the map menu or game settings.

Ohh... I usually take a screenshot of the map I made before starting the game and use it as a guide on how to get to a biome I haven't been to yet from where I currently am.
