Beacon

The Beacon is an item that can be used to mark a location on the planet. It is visible even from far away through its color mark. The color of the beacon can be changed among a range of colors (blue, green, orange, magenta, red, and a black to red strobe), in order to differentiate them. Cycling through all of the colors will turn the beacon off.

Shelters and other players have their own markers, so the best uses for beacons are to mark vehicles or any interesting locations a player might find. The beacon is visible from a greater distance than the markers of a Shelter, giving better visibility over longer distances.

Due to the curvature of the planets, beacons cannot be seen from every place on the planet the player is currently on. The visible distance can be increased by placing them on a pillar of dirt, or mountaintop. Note that the beacon marker will be blocked by clouds.
