Beacon
PENDING REMOVAL; This item will (likely) be removed in a future update.; Currently only used as an ingredient in an alternative recipe.
The Beacon is a deprecated tool that can be placed down to label a location on the compass and map. Due to being functionally replaced with map markers, using Beacons for markers is a waste of resources, as placing markers directly is free. Loading a save with previously placed Beacons converts them to map markers automatically.
