will future updates allow other players be able to fill out the Fog-of-war off your map and can you/they see the markers that you place?
i feel like this would be a fantastic quality-of-life update.
as a recent example, my friend went out exploring while i built up our base and he noted like 3 dungeons , a few copper deposits and a troll cave before he came back. he marked them down on his map but i couldn't see them. my map was also fully greyed out where he was exploring, so to see what he saw, he'd have to lead me to each place he saw, instead of me being able to go there on my own at a later time using the map, with that part of the map already filled out.
i think, to avoid confusion on who-placed-what-marker. there could be different colors for each players marker, or their name could show under each marker or something.
thoughts?

Doh! Spoilers! Maybe you want to check the cartography table; it allows you to do everything you mentioned:

There is a build item you get, generally early in the Black Forest, that lets you record your map/fill out your map from someone else’s recording. This will however not share pins (unless that’s changed since I took my break a few months back).

It does share pins now (they are a light shade of gray instead of being white). It does not share the skulls that mark points of death. If you need the help of a teammate to recover your gear you have to mark the spot with a different pin and upload again.

Already in the game. You just need the right piece of furniture.
