Well, this melts my brains
55.16N 97.10E is definitely to the right of the red NU-Turukhansk line on my map.
However, the red line is drawn perpendicular to the midpoint of a line directly between NU-Turukhansk.
So every point on that line should be equal distant to NU-Turukhansk.
So a line from 55.16N 97.10E to Turukhansk should be shorter than from that point to NU.
Yet it isn't.
{pop} there goes my sanity.

The coordinates in the wiki might be from different actual points rather than a consistent location relative to the buildings themselves. One player might have use the position right outside the door on one end while a second might have walked to the closest point (s)he could reach from outside, while a third might have used the coordinates on the in-game map.

The hard part is knowing the precise location to use when determining where we'll be cloned, especially if a utility is going to be developed to tell a player which Outpost is closest to them. The other hard part is not knowing if there are other variables at play with the whole system, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I suppose actual "Outpost"'s are sort of dedicated "world" not actually inside the building. Operating the building door simply gives you access to it. Building sizes inside and outside do not look like they actually match.

The outposts are definitely separate to the outside world. DL mentioned something about they are too complex in some game engine way to allow you to simply walk into them as we could in Alpha.

However, I do not think the slight differences in coordinates can result in such a large discrepancy in the location of the revive point.

I suspect that the N & E coordinates are not 1:1 ... i.e. 1^oN is not the same distance as 1^oE - which is why the lines on the map look and act right but reviving using the coordinates is wrong.

Ok, that's what's screwing up the calculations then.. Thanks for pointing it out

ok, will do, when I get bored enough with the game again.
