This is an independent map app made by the MetaForge team for players of the game. SOTF Map puts the complete community-mapped island in your pocket — every cave, bunker, keycard, weapon, tool and resource, on a fast native map you can use while you play. THE WHOLE ISLAND • 3,700+ community-verified locations across 8 categories and 100+ marker types. • Smooth pinch, pan and zoom, sharpening all the way to full map detail. • Tap any marker for its details — many caves and bunkers include a full loot list and walkthrough notes. FIND ANYTHING • Filter by any of 100+ marker types — bunker entrances, cave exits, cellars, artifacts, blueprints, keycards, golden armour, 3D printers and more. • Search by name and the map flies straight to it: the katana, the shovel, the rebreather, the rope gun. TRACK YOUR RUN • Mark locations as found and they dim on the map — or hide them completely. • Per-category progress, so you can see the keycards and artifacts you still need. YOUR OWN PINS • Long-press anywhere to drop your own pin — your base, a stash, a danger spot, a resource patch — with a name, a note, six icons and six colours. BUILT TO USE WHILE PLAYING • Works offline: the map data is cached on your device after the first load. • No account, no sign-up, no ads. Your pins and progress stay private on your phone and are never uploaded. — Marker data is mapped by the MetaForge community. Unofficial & fan-made.
