Beacon (Subnautica)
The Beacon is a machine crafted by using the fabricator.
The Beacon can mark locations, for example caves, biomes or seabases. It may be placed in the ocean and picked up again after each use.
It works similar to the life pod, Cyclops and Seamoth marker, just this is round and sending out a visible pulse that is different from the life pod's Beacon. The Beacon pings are faded out when nearby. Too many Beacons can be hard to keep track of.
A Beacon can be renamed by clicking on its front panel. A maximum of ten characters is supported.
