Operating System

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

Bug Description

Faction claims placed in water/ocean biomes are nearly invisible on the world map. The claim overlay blends into the water terrain, making it almost impossible to locate claimed territory. The faction color does not change the opacity of the claim overlay — all claims look the same regardless of faction color.

The claim is visible in /f map but most players use the world map zoomed out much farther, where water claims become essentially invisible.

This is likely caused by the Hytale heightmap API not accounting for water when generating the map terrain data, resulting in low-contrast claim overlays over ocean areas.

Reported by: xTM on Discord

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a faction
  2. Navigate to an ocean/water biome
  3. Claim territory in the water
  4. Open the world map and zoom out to a normal viewing distance
  5. Observe that the claim is nearly invisible compared to land claims

Expected Behavior

Claims in water/ocean should be clearly visible on the world map. Possible solutions:

  • Higher opacity for claim overlays over water
  • Darker outline or border around claimed chunks
  • Faction nametag/label on claims
  • Increasing the chunk render radius in /f map as an alternative workaround

Media

Screenshots provided by xTM showing claims barely visible in ocean vs. visible on land.

Additional information

  • xTM also suggested that increasing the chunk radius shown in /f map could be a simpler workaround since they have player markers showing on the map
  • The heightmap API limitation may require a creative workaround rather than a direct fix (e.g., boosting overlay opacity for low-elevation/water chunks)

              Bug Description
              Faction claims placed in water/ocean biomes are nearly invisible on the world map. The claim overlay blends into the water terrain, making it almost impossible to locate claimed territory. The faction color does not change the opacity of the claim overlay — all claims look the same regardless of faction color.
              The claim is visible in /f map but most players use the world map zoomed out much farther, where water claims become essentially invisible.
              This is likely caused by the Hytale heightmap API not accounting for water when generating the map terrain data, resulting in low-contrast claim overlays over ocean areas.
              Reported by: xTM on Discord
              Steps to Reproduce
              1. Create a faction
              2. Navigate to an ocean/water biome
              3. Claim territory in the water
              4. Open the world map and zoom out to a normal viewing distance
              5. Observe that the claim is nearly invisible compared to land claims
              Expected Behavior
              Claims in water/ocean should be clearly visible on the world map. Possible solutions:
              • Higher opacity for claim overlays over water
              • Darker outline or border around claimed chunks
              • Faction nametag/label on claims
              • Increasing the chunk render radius in /f map as an alternative workaround
              Media
              Screenshots provided by xTM showing claims barely visible in ocean vs. visible on land.
              Additional information
              • xTM also suggested that increasing the chunk radius shown in /f map could be a simpler workaround since they have player markers showing on the map
              • The heightmap API limitation may require a creative workaround rather than a direct fix (e.g., boosting overlay opacity for low-elevation/water chunks)
