suggestion Compass

I don't know if it ties into what went wrong with the world, but since we cannot see where we are on the maps, a compass could come handy, and simple compasses use no technology, a factor involved in the catastrophe.

Love this idea!  Such a simlpe thing, but honestly, they'd be all over the place somewhere like this.  Pilots also usually carry them...

There should be a compass in the plane anyway, easy to find it in the snow after the crash. great idea

Geomagnetic storm has rendered them all useless! That's my take on it anyway. And there already is a compass in the game, sort of. Drop a stick, see where it points. It always points the same way.

I wish people used the search bar... this has been lengthily discussed multiple times before. as Ormet said, due to the magnetic field disruption, they don't work anymore. however, sticks, torches etc always point into the same direction. use that for orientation. leave them as waymarkers if you want, since even junk items lying around don't disappear.

so you would rather rely on a glitch in the software than a compass. And as for the geo storm, its a game and anything is possible.

plus why do people even bother to reply and say "its been discussed before" who cares. its being discussed now, here.

i guess they reply to try and stop your reply?

Too late came the cry. It doesn't matter when people talk about these things, The fact is some one may talk about something that has been done before many times. But they may come up with something that has never been thought of and is a sublime idea. so for my money its a case of let the people talk and keep an eye open for genius.
