PlushSpiffo.pngThis article is about the world map feature. For in-game item, see Map (item).

The world map can be accessed by pressing M. By default, it only shows the places the player has already been to, but enabling the setting All Known On Start in the Map section during save creation will make it display places that they've not visited yet. It can also be opened by clicking on the mini-map if it is enabled.

Adding and removing symbols

The world map can be annotated the same way that handheld maps can be annotated.
