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. When placed the Beacon will remain suspended where is placed.
It works similarly to the beacons installed on the life pod, Cyclops and Seamoth except the pulse is circular.
You can also name the beacon to easily tell them apart. the player does this by clicking on the front of beacon. In the menu that appears, you can enter optional name of up to ten symbols. 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.
