Maybe B for borax and Na for salt

Very nice 👍

Done! Silicon, Sulfur and Carbon are added. 👍

I'll add more eventually

_Major_Major_, Sep 7th 2025 at 8:03 PM

Novarleeir Yeah that's a good idea. You could also use a scaled down image of Peter Griffin for saltpeter. Icon problem solved. 🙃

A salt shaker for salt could work

_Major_Major_, Sep 7th 2025 at 10:34 AM

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I don't think there are any good ways to make markers for borax, saltepter, salt, cinnabar or lapis lazuli. Even more unfortunately 3 of those are white 😅

Can do! I'll get that going in the next day or two.
I was thinking about how to do things like borax, but I don't think Na2H20B4O17 would make for a very palatable map marker

_Major_Major_, Sep 7th 2025 at 8:13 AM

Nice. I was looking for a simple mod that added element markers.

Only other markers I would personally add would be "C" for carbon (coals), "Si" for silicon (quartz/olivine) and "S" for sulfur.

Dirty_Wizard I'm not too sure, but given that these icons and More Map Icons share some of the same marker names, there could be a conflict, but I haven't tested it

Dirty_Wizard, Sep 4th 2025 at 8:04 AM

Nice mod, good idea, very useful for labelling deposits. It should be compatible with other map icon mods like "More Map Icons", right? Since it only adds icons, not replaces them?

Would you happen to know if this is compatible with Alternative Map Icon Renderer?
