Maps with Extraction Location Descriptions 1.0.1

An immersive option to finding extraction locations using new in-game maps.

This mod adds new map items for each area. The map descriptions include general directions to each extract location for that level.


  • Maps can be purchased from traders and brought into raids to help find your way to an extraction.
  • Prices range around 30k, no reputation requirement.
  • Certain traders will only have certain maps based on which maps I feel they fit with (e.g. Jaeger sell the Woods map).
  • Most descriptions give cardinal directions of the location, so this pairs well with any compass mod.
  • Uses the DJ Core API. Don't forget to download as a prerequisite!
  • Highly recommend UI Fixes to make the text fit appropriately.


Why?

It is extremely difficult to find the extract on a map you are unfamiliar with. Constantly having to check a third-party map on my second monitor is not an enjoyable way to experience a map for the first time. These maps offer an immersive way gain this knowledge.


Feedback:

Let me know if the description/location/name of these extracts is incorrect or could be better worded. It seems some of the names of extracts have changed since the 2022 article I was primary using was written. I could not find good written descriptions of Streets and Ground Zero extracts, so kinda winged those. Also, I am open to rewording the text to feel more contextualized as black market intel being gathered and sold. I have really only played Factory and Woods so far, so I don't know much about the game world.


Much love to all the modders and staff working on this project 🤟

  • Can You Put the Maps in Special Slot? asking so I can access it without needing to go to the maps tab

    • I think I can make it go in special. though, the you don't really access the "maps" through the maps tab. The extraction text is in the item description, so you have to inspect/double click on it in your inventory to read it.
