The '''world map''' can be accessed by pressing {{Key|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.

This page has been revised for the current stable version (41.78.16).
Help by adding any missing content. [edit]
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 or found a map of, but enabling the All Known On Start setting in the In-game Map section in Custom Sandbox 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.

  • Currently, annotations cannot be transferred from a handheld map to the world map without the use of mods.
  • It can be argued that the world map has made the handheld map items, other than annotated maps, obsolete in single player. The world map is always accessible, and does not add weight to the character's inventory.
