About DiscoveryPins

From Thunderstore

QoL Map Pins mod. Customizable pin colors and automatic pinning of things you discover and interact with.

DiscoveryPins

Customizable pin colors and automatic pinning of things you discover and interact with. Can be used as a purely client side mod or it can be installed on the server to sync some of the settings.

Deep North Notice: This mod has been updated and I've done preliminary testing but since I haven't been able to actually play through any of the new content yet I can't confirm that it pins new dungeons and the like properly. It does however still work for everything that it previously worked on!

Features

  • Configure pin colors.
  • Configure minimum allowed distance between auto-pins.
  • - Configurable keyboard shortcut to automatically pin things within your field of view or very close to your character that are configured to be automatically pinned.
  • Automatically pin dungeons when you enter them (configurable).
  • Automatically pin ore when you damage it (configurable).
  • Automatically pin portals when building or interacting with them (configurable).
  • If the portal has a tag then it names the pin after the tag.
  • Updates pin names when you change the portal tag.
  • Will fail to remove the old pin if you change the pin type for portals and then change the portal tag.
  • Automatically remove death pins when retrieving your tombstone (configurable).
  • Automatically pin open world locations like camps and villages using the keyboard shortcut (configurable).
  • Configure whether to generate death pins when inventory is empty.
  • Synced settings for whether the keyboard shortcut is enabled and how far away it can trigger automatic pins.
