You can do so in console:

Code: Select all

game.disableminimap()

But then the problem is to reenable it. That is currently impossible. (At least last time i checked)

You are right, well we can add the enableminimap command :)

P.S. Why do you needed btw?

Another good reason for hiding and showing the minimap is when the right sidebar is too full to show everything - for example when a logistics network has too many item types in it, you can't see the ones in the bottom. Currently this means going through three levels of menus to toggle the map on or off just to see the bottom-most items :(

It's three years old but still relevant and one that I feel would be rather easy for the devs to fix, while scratching a major itch for me.

There's a console command to do that (only locally for that map), you can also re-enable it by setting it to true:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.minimap_enabled = false
Or you can use my mod that automatically hides the minimap when you hover over a logistics chest:

I have plans for an update that will allow more types and some improvements, but haven't found the time yet :(
