SN2 POI Map

SN2 POI Map

Version 1.0.0

Subnautica 2 v0.10.1 (Hotfix #3) ready

An in-game world map and minimap with configurable POI markers, category filters, hotkeys, and per-save exploration tracking.

Overview

SN2 POI Map adds a usable world map and minimap directly to Subnautica 2.

It is designed for players who want better navigation, configurable points of interest, and a convenient way to track exploration without leaving the game.

The mod includes a full map view, configurable minimap, player-position tracking, category-based POI filters, fog-of-war exploration, configurable controls, and optional integration with SN2ModSettings.

Main Features

• Full in-game world map

Open a large map while playing, with support for zooming and panning.

[/*]

• Configurable minimap

Adjust the minimap’s size, screen position, margins, opacity, and visibility.

[/*]

• Points of interest

Display useful locations directly on the map.

[/*]

• Category filters

Enable or disable POI categories so the map only displays the information you want.

[/*]

• Fog-of-war exploration

The map can gradually reveal as you explore the world.

[/*]

• Per-save exploration tracking

Fog-of-war progress is stored separately for each save game. Starting a new game creates a new exploration state instead of reusing the previous save’s map progress.

[/*]

• Configurable player marker

Adjust the marker size and select from multiple color presets.

[/*]

• Configurable hotkeys

Controls are available for the large map, minimap visibility, POI categories, zooming, and panning.[/*]

Default Controls

• M — Open or close the full map[/*]

• H — Hide or show the minimap[/*]

Additional category, zoom, and pan controls can be configured through SN2ModSettings or the included configuration file.

Requirements

• UE4SS for Subnautica 2 — Required[/*]

• SN2ModSettings — Recommended[/*]

SN2ModSettings allows the map and minimap options to be changed through the in-game Mods settings menu.

The map remains usable without SN2ModSettings. Settings can instead be changed through the configuration files included with the mod.

Installation

• Install UE4SS for Subnautica 2.[/*]

• Download and extract SN2 POI Map.[/*]

• Place the complete SN2-POI-Map folder inside the UE4SS Mods directory.[/*]

• Launch Subnautica 2.[/*]

Installation folder:

Subnautica2 Subnautica2 Binaries Win64 ue4ss Mods

The final folder should be:

Do not place only the individual files directly inside the Mods directory. Keep the included folder structure intact.

Multiplayer Information

Client

Cosmetic/local: works for anyone regardless of what others have installed. (At least what has been tested so far)

SN2 POI Map is primarily a local user-interface and navigation mod. It does not change recipes, progression, creatures, resources, or host-controlled gameplay systems.

• Each player who wants to use the map or minimap should install the mod.[/*]

• POI filters and minimap settings are local to each player.[/*]

• Fog-of-war and exploration progress are not synchronized between players.[/*]

• Other players do not need the mod for your local map and minimap to operate.[/*]

Experimental multiplayer-marker notice:

The Show Other Players setting is present but other-player markers are not functioning correctly in Version 1.0.0. Keep this option disabled for now.

Functional multiplayer markers are being investigated for the first update.

Current Limitations and Planned Update

• Other-player markers — Experimental and not currently functional.[/*]

• Localization — Version 1.0.0 uses English interface text. Game-language localization support is planned for the first update.[/*]

• Beacon integration  —  The eventual goal is also to have beacon information populate on the main map. [/*]

• Minimap markers  —  Working on potential methods to limit markers populated on the minimap, so that only the closest 5-10 populate.   [/*]

These limitations do not prevent the local map, minimap, POI filters, or per-save exploration tracking from being used.

Compatibility

SN2 POI Map should be compatible with most mods that do not replace or heavily modify the same HUD, input, map, or minimap behavior.

Compatibility may vary with mods that:

• Modify the player HUD[/*]

• Intercept the same keyboard controls[/*]

• Add another map or minimap overlay[/*]

• Replace related UE4SS UI behavior[/*]

Changing conflicting hotkeys may be necessary when using multiple UI mods.

Simple Minimap — jsthope

SN2 POI Map began as an expanded version of Simple Minimap by jsthope.

Simple Minimap provided the original inspiration and foundation for the in-game minimap, player tracking, fog-of-war, and large-map functionality that SN2 POI Map expands upon.

Full credit to jsthope for the original project and for helping establish what was possible with a UE4SS-based map for Subnautica 2.

World Map (multiple mods on Curseforge) — yakuzadeso

After development of SN2 POI Map was already underway, I discovered World Map by yakuzadeso.

World Map is a separate Blueprint-based implementation of a similar in-game map concept and uses map tiles from joric's open map project.

No code, assets, or packaged files from World Map are included in SN2 POI Map. Credit is included because it independently demonstrated another approach to bringing a world map into Subnautica 2.
