M for Map

A ‘fog-of-war’ map that you can open by pressing a hotkey.

There’s a few ways this could go.
1, it gets updates as you explore the map.
2, it gets updated only when you build a certain building - like the Scanner Room.
3, it gets updated only when using a certain resource.

I’m very partial to 2, and I think that’d be a good functionality for the Scanner Room. I think that building piece has been useless since SN1, so it’d be nice to give it a meaningful purpose.

I’m also partial to 2. We can make it pretty limited but usefull feature, maybe have the map need radar dishes that can be attacked by creatures, making it unviable in certain locations but usefull for resource collection and navigation

A network of scanner stations you build around the game to map out the world sounds pretty cool, and a good way to integrate it into the gameplay loop. Definitely like that idea
