@Specter knew there was something I didnt know

Alright, so I haven't been able to play Fractured yet and I have only taken brief looks at the news, so please tell me if this is already added or my information is off.
Without further ado, the idea I have is to help players who want to have the benefits of a business while also having enough space for a farm: beacons. The idea of a beacon is to have it reveal a certain location to all players as if it were a normal location on the map.
The beacon will show a small icon that can be named by the player who places it down and (possibly) can show the services they offer. Because of the possibility that this may discourage people from living in towns and cities, the idea is that beacons will be expensive enough to encourage people to either live in cities or live alone, but not too expensive so as to make people believe the item is overpriced and completely not worth it.
Another problem with this idea is that people may have too many of them and they will clutter the screen, so I have a few guidelines that will prevent that:

• Beacons cannot, by any circumstance, be placed in an area that is already labelled by the map
• Beacons can be hidden when looking at the map
• Beacons cannot be placed too close to one another
• A beacon must be located in a building OR a beacon must be located near a building
• A player can only have one beacon active and/or placed down at a time
• Beacons will look different than normal map icon

And that is my proposal for beacons to be added. Now all I can do is hope that it has not already been added and that all of this work wasn't for nothing.

Just trying to get those point things.
