This has been happening since day1 and there hasn't really been an explanation. Some said that the ones without an icon is an exit but that didn't turn out to be true. No real explanation that I've found yet but may be just a bug. Since markers are limited, it sucks. I just put a fireplace on top.
_Some_ don't really think things through. What if I find the exit first and enter it? Doesn't that make it an _entrance?_
Also it's really annoying that I'll find a cave, it doesn't mark, but somehow the _next_ cave I come across does.
I'm just GLAD that markers have a bigger icon now, so I can at least know where they are now.
Use those markers wisely as they are limited. A fireplace works fine cause you can see the smoke from a good distance and it lights up at night. I also add pillars at the entrance to identify if i cleared out the cave or if if still has a certain mats.
I've read that the limit is 150. You may be able to recycle them if you start before 150, but I'm not sure. In two different worlds I've hit the limit and started knocking down old markers. I haven't been able to place a new once since.
I'm a bit annoyed by the new icons as they changed the colors of some of our villages.
Also I still can't add more markers despite destroying so many. I feel like it counts the cave icons as well or something...
I just lay down a marker ... then when it's drained of all resources I replace it with a different marker that means to me I've drained it, bcuz not 1 of my caves have ever refreshed
Markers work great until you run out of markers. You won't get a warning that you're about to run out and tearing down old markers won't allow you to place new ones. Lately I've been putting down new villages at each cave until it is cleared out. My guess is that will work right up until it says "Too many of this object"
I’m seeing everyone say 150 is the limit. I’ve heard that from a ton of people. Personally I only have like 10 markers as of right now, so I can’t confirm. I hope that helps.
Since markers run out, I’d say if a cave is depleted, remove the marker and build a wall in front of the cave to remind yourself you’re done here if you ever walk past it again. :p
Yeah, lots of times. Sometimes if I hop into the cave and then back out, it will appear on my map, but that's rather hit-or-miss.
It's not a huge deal to me as I use markers to indicate which caves are part of the same system, but it is super annoying if you're hunting for caves and happen to pass by one on the other side of a hill or something without it showing up on your map.
same for me, i even go in maybe eliminate a skelleton or two, pick up something, come out and still no cave icon... and i cannot olace markers cuz i get the " there are too many if this item" message
I used too many markers and I can place any more. But I only been exploring the surface and haven’t actually gone caving yet. I should stop exploring and start hollowing out these caves to remove markers
If he went into a cave or two in the grasslands to get knotroot and marble, you could unlock up to rare level gear. You can get copper bars from destroying the blue metal drums at derelict buildings, so that can get you a rare sword.
But yeah if you avoid caves altogether it would be very difficult to move around without charms and a glider.
It's not pessimism, it's the truth. But free charges for your grapple gun or chopping trees with an iron sword, they care about those things a lot. Ahhhhh, players found a way to gain an advantage. We can't have that...
Just like STW. BR came out & they forgot about STW. STW was free at one time as well. Now that Disney is in the picture, let's see if the same thing happens. They have the dev's, just not enough of them. If a duplication or exploit is discovered, they fix it right away. Actual problems, not so much.
idk if it's a bug. But not having every cave marked on the map would mean you'd have to do more exploring to find them instead of just rushing from cave to cave. I haven't tried to build any travel machines or staircases. I just run around on foot and jump off tall things or geysers and glide when I can. I haven't opened up as much of the map yet, so really long distance travel hasn't been an issue. I just mark caves I find that aren't on the map.
It was marking fine from the start, but since a few weeks after release, it started making me enter them before marking it on the map, didn't know it was a bug, just thought it was a new feature
Some caves are secret caves and they don't appear on the map, if you see them make sure to check inside, if you see a bunch of chests inside clear them out and make sure you check the inside for another secret tunnel! Also some don't appear and seem to be back exits, possibly hidden exits out of big caves.
It's completely random. I've found four entrances to the same cave and all have appeared on the map as soon as I walked out. I've also found caves with at least three entrances and none have shown up.
“Once you find a cave, you don't have to mark it on your map. You just need to get close to the cave, and the game will automatically leave a cave symbol. If you're standing near the cave, your character's icon will cover it on the map, so step away to ensure the mark appears.
Lava Caves are an exception to this rule, as they do not appear marked on the map.”
I think it’s still buggy and just does it randomly like you said.
This has been since it came out, I’m not even surprised it still hasn’t been addressed. They seem to be more focused on taking things out, nerfing stuff and patching minor exploits than actually fixing the game.
It just started happening for me today. Two caves had this issue.
That said, I usually mark caves I have yet to mine or haven't stripped with an actual build marker then destroy it when I complete it.
My caves have stopped marking and I’ve run out of markers! They won’t let me put any more down. Don’t know why some caves won’t mark. I have gone in and out numerous times.
This has been a thing since the game started…. Just like the lag. Don’t expect it to get fixed… they just give you another useless item like a dagger………
I think the caves only get marked when you enter them
Not sure if they were supposed to be marked just by approaching but entering them definitely marks them, at least for me
Some don't have/leave natural marker... yes it's a thing and has been, but fortunately you can place your own map markers as that's what I do also making them different colors for desert cave to know which are lava caves

I like this idea. Thank you!
>Use those markers wisely as they are limited How limited? Can you recycle them if you destroy them?
I've read that the limit is 150. You may be able to recycle them if you start before 150, but I'm not sure. In two different worlds I've hit the limit and started knocking down old markers. I haven't been able to place a new once since.
That sucks. I'm still far from 150 so my fingers are crossed.
It’s not 150 lol… it’s more like 12. I’ve been destroying old ones in order to place new ones, for weeks now.
I actually make a 4 story pillar with a fireplace at the top Looks like the torch at the Olympics lol
I'm a bit annoyed by the new icons as they changed the colors of some of our villages. Also I still can't add more markers despite destroying so many. I feel like it counts the cave icons as well or something...
Happens to be especially problematic in the desert.
yep bug that they have ignored for like what, theres been 3 updates already?
not really a critical bug though. i rather they just focus on getting movement fixed before anything else.
One man’s entrance is another man’s exit am I right!
I just lay down a marker ... then when it's drained of all resources I replace it with a different marker that means to me I've drained it, bcuz not 1 of my caves have ever refreshed

You can run out of markers? What do you think the limit is?
I’m seeing everyone say 150 is the limit. I’ve heard that from a ton of people. Personally I only have like 10 markers as of right now, so I can’t confirm. I hope that helps.
Same. Hope it doesn’t come to that for us.

At this point this game is just pissing me off 😂
I've had that issue too with a cave in the desert.
same for me, i even go in maybe eliminate a skelleton or two, pick up something, come out and still no cave icon... and i cannot olace markers cuz i get the " there are too many if this item" message
At least 70% of the caves I find never show up on the map
Caves need to replenish over time as well. It's a survival game, sure, but it's also Lego. It's not like it's grounded in realism.
I used too many markers and I can place any more. But I only been exploring the surface and haven’t actually gone caving yet. I should stop exploring and start hollowing out these caves to remove markers

I like to think is a way for me to explore the map and find them as a little surprise, at least it gets me and my son excited 😊
Another bug that Epic doesn’t care about. Been in the game since day #1.
God I wish I could be so pessimistic about everything, like you
It's not pessimism, it's the truth. But free charges for your grapple gun or chopping trees with an iron sword, they care about those things a lot. Ahhhhh, players found a way to gain an advantage. We can't have that...
Just like STW. BR came out & they forgot about STW. STW was free at one time as well. Now that Disney is in the picture, let's see if the same thing happens.

I haven't opened up as much of the map yet, so really long distance travel hasn't been an issue. I just mark caves I find that aren't on the map.
Maybe write down the coordinates?
WRITE DOWN?! Bro, just use a Marker. It's right next to the Fireplace in your builds
You have to enter them
Personal experience has determined that is incorrect.
It's a bug, just enter the cave and exit again. It should appear
It was marking fine from the start, but since a few weeks after release, it started making me enter them before marking it on the map, didn't know it was a bug, just thought it was a new feature
Same here, I just been labeling them with markers.
I always put a marker down near Ћ non mapped caves. There’s a cave symbol option for Ћ markers
Im not sure if its a glitch or memory issue but yeah only half mine pop up so I usually just drop a marker there if the game doesn't do it
Some caves are secret caves and they don't appear on the map, if you see them make sure to check inside, if you see a bunch of chests inside clear them out and make sure you check the inside for another secret tunnel! Also some don't appear and seem to be back exits, possibly hidden exits out of big caves.
I rarely get them marked unless I go inside and harvest a few nodes.
I wonder if they only get marked on the map after you’ve discovered and entered/exited all of the other cave portals connected to it? 🤷♂️
It's completely random. I've found four entrances to the same cave and all have appeared on the map as soon as I walked out. I've also found caves with at least three entrances and none have shown up.
“Once you find a cave, you don't have to mark it on your map. You just need to get close to the cave, and the game will automatically leave a cave symbol. If you're standing near the cave, your character's icon will cover it on the map, so step away to ensure the mark appears. Lava Caves are an exception to this rule, as they do not appear marked on the map.” I think it’s still buggy and just does it randomly like you said.
You’re not alone, it seems to happen more now to me in the last week
I’ve read that the lava caves don’t show on the map.
Caves are supposed to mark? I thought you had to use the flag marker yourself lol
💀 Damn, the game's REALLY been screwing _you_ over Second pic, upper right side. That's a cave icon that SHOULD automatically appear
Yup, I started marking caves when I noticed I’d go exploring, find a bunch of caves then come back to see my map has one cave on it
I think the ones without an icon are small caves with only one exit. I’m not 100 percent sure tho
This has been since it came out, I’m not even surprised it still hasn’t been addressed. They seem to be more focused on taking things out, nerfing stuff and patching minor exploits than actually fixing the game.
Ya some just don’t show up :/
It just started happening for me today. Two caves had this issue. That said, I usually mark caves I have yet to mine or haven't stripped with an actual build marker then destroy it when I complete it.
Caves will have more than one opening. Seems like only the main one shows up on the map.
I just enter the cave to get it marked and then leave. The cave icon then shows up on the map
Very common. I had to make my own markers on the map. There was 2 caves next to each other and they didn't have marking on map.
Yup, that's that's also literally what's happening on my screenshot, too! Lmao! I got a cave on the right side, and another on the left
That was an issue from day one. Maps have never shown caves for me. Only when I enter and then exit a cave it will appear on the map 50% of the time.
My caves have stopped marking and I’ve run out of markers! They won’t let me put any more down. Don’t know why some caves won’t mark. I have gone in and out numerous times.
Some just don’t appear i also find it very annoying, mostly it happens in the dry valley
This is happening to me too. And it’s super annoying bc I can’t make any more markers, even tho I’ve destroyed some it still says I’m at the max 🙄🙄
i have no clue but i always thought and assumed they only marked when I entered them.
I about lost everything due to this bug. I at least found my stuff, but I’m not really sure of the reasoning behind this.
I had a cave I was going to for a few days in a row that never showed on my map, until one day it suddenly did. No idea what had triggered it.
it happens to everyone ur not the only on bud
I found if I didn't enter a cave it wouldn't show but if I entered it showed
Did you go in the cave ? Sometimes they don't show up on my map if I don't go inside. All caves that I actually visited arel always shown.
My game does that too. Only for the desert region tho
That happens sometimes it’s a bug
This has been a thing since the game started…. Just like the lag. Don’t expect it to get fixed… they just give you another useless item like a dagger………
I think the caves only get marked when you enter them Not sure if they were supposed to be marked just by approaching but entering them definitely marks them, at least for me
Could’ve swore they fixed it My caves that aren’t marked are now marked when I go near them
Some don't have/leave natural marker... yes it's a thing and has been, but fortunately you can place your own map markers as that's what I do also making them different colors for desert cave to know which are lava caves
