About this Mod
Wayfinder
What is Wayfinder?
Wayfinder is a simple yet diegetic mod that adds in-world blocks and items for waypoints and location tracking.
Wayfinder is inspired by the Outer Wilds Signalscope.
New Update?
With the 1.21.10 update, you can expect a LOT of changes. Here are all of them:
- Removed Warped lens, and the Compass.
- Added Signal Booster + Signal Expander, upgrades for the range of the signalscope at the cost of accuracy.
- Removed the GUI for the Signal Array, now you have to craft a "Signal Tweaker" and be able to change the data on the go. Right Click on an Array to set the data, and Shift Right Click on it to copy the data to the tweaker.
- Added Frequency in HZ and Gain in MM to the Signalscope. Frequency adds more customisability to the signals, and Gain zooms in, giving you more range but again at the cost of accuracy. Solve this issue with the Signal Booster + Signal Expander, as it gives you a greater default zoom.
