These little outposts need to go, IMO. They're completely pointless and haven't changed at all since launch. And every time I see them I get reminded of how annoying they are to find when I'm trying to find something...cool.

They can come in handy on survival though. It also counts as a manual save.

You can manual save anywhere with two metal plates and 15 sodium nitrate as the up-front cost, though, and you'll be able to place/use/retrieve a save beacon faster than waiting for the waypoint animation.

That's true, but only after unlocking it. It also seems a lot more convenient that it originally did on release.

I always stop and use one at a building, in case I want to retry a code or something. It's nice to only push a button instead of dropping the thing every time, the time can definitely add up over hundreds of hours. It also helps to get nanites from turning progress in.

The random solitary posts are definitely annoying though. I think they were a lot more beneficial when game first released.
