Map reminder markers
I admit, I'm one of those people who easily get lost, have no sense of direction and forget where I find things.
Hence I'd really like to be able to pin map markers at things I want to find back easily later.

Think about flowers, veggies, special trees, a carcass etc.
When I find something nice which is far away nobody will go there on on their own because nobody with the skills is nearby enough. Hence you have to select a sapien first before you can move all the way back to order it to go there.

Additional problem is that when selecting a sapien the orientation often changes, which makes it even more of a search to find that single small object back.

I have no clue where to start with modding a game, so I hope someone sees some merit in this request and would like to help out :)

Adding some icon option to indicate what you are marking (skill markers for example or the icon used for storage) would be a bonus ;)

Put down a storage area, give it a name and set it to reject all items so the AI doesn't accidentally send people there when it shouldn't; possibly also add a route back to your main base, again with a descriptive name. Voila, land marks and direction finder.

This is a great suggestion!
Fortunately, I have a great sense of direction, but map markers would be very useful.
I often make use of the world map to explore the surroundings in every direction around my tribe.
This could be to locate points of interest, such as trees/fruit trees, mineral deposits or areas of rich soil and flattish terrain. So, being able to mark out such places that would entail weeks of travel on foot would be very handy.
Placing named storage for such distant locations isn't possible via the world map.
For example... here's my desert tribe...

It's a good location, however, I'm in great need of herbs and more food varieties/trees of which there is little here. But, I can use the world map to locate what I need ;)

Now, I could try to rely on my faulty memory lol, but I'd much rather be able to place markers on the map ;)
