It’s 9 in the morning and there’s a ticket waiting. “My base got raided last night. Who did it?” Until now, you had chat logs and a lot of guessing.

Takaro 2.1 is out, and it adds the Tracker to your server’s Map. Pick a time, and Takaro shows you where every player was, where they went and what they picked up.

Prefer to watch? The Tracker video shows it in about a minute.

Rewind the map to last night

Open your server, then Map, and switch from Live to Tracker. Pick a time range and drag the timeline. Every player shows up where they were at that moment.

Each player leaves a trail, so you can see the route they took, not just a dot. Press play and watch the evening back at the speed you choose. Deaths, kills, joins and leaves sit on the timeline, so you can jump straight to the moment that matters.

Who raided that base?

Draw a box, circle or any shape around the base and set the hours. Area search lists every player who was inside, with the first and last time they were seen there.

Then open Theft. It lists every item a player gained while they were inside your area: who, when, what and how many, and the container it came from when the game reports it.

The Tracker in three steps: (1) a box drawn around a base where two trails meet, (2) the time range 2 to 4 AM, (3) the Theft list with an Assault Rifle and 3000 Sulfur gained inside

Treat it as strong evidence, not proof. A player picking up loot inside a base doesn’t tell you whose loot it was. Check the trail and the player before you ban. Need it for a ban appeal? Export the list as CSV.

What were they carrying?

Click a player in the Tracker to see their inventory at that exact moment, and every item they gained or lost in the range.

Looking for one item instead? Item search shows who held it, for how long, and every time it changed hands.

The live map got better too

The Live map is easier to read on a busy night:

  • Crowded spots group into one marker until you zoom in.
  • Layers let you switch deaths, offline players and more on and off.
  • Recent trails shows which way players are heading over the last five minutes.
  • Click a player for their details.

Also in 2.1

  • Search players by name, and search tables across the dashboard.
  • Turn installed modules on or off from the list, and see if each one is healthy.
  • Players can link Steam and Discord from the player portal.

Everything else is in the changelog.

Good to know

  • Two new permissions: Read Map and Read Tracking. Every role that could see players got both, so nobody loses access. Remove them from a role to hide the Map or the Tracker from it.
  • It shows what your game reports. Positions are snapshots taken every so often, not a recording. Your game’s page says what Takaro sees in your game.
  • How it works in detail: see the Map docs.
