So here we are in the lush grass fields.
I'm out exploring.
i'm far away from home and yeah let's just bring up the map and see what it looks like now so yeah it's a lot bigger than before takes up a lot more real estate on the screen um the reason why it's not taking up like the entire screen is because the game isn't like paused when you have the the map menu open the still game is still running in the background we still kind of want to show you that a little bit
So one key thing with the map too is that we've changed how you unlock it.
So the map is now unlocked in the onboarding process instead of being part of the research chain in the map.
So you will have access to the map a lot earlier in the game.
So as you may notice, it's a bit different.
We've got a couple of more elements here that I want to bring up.
So first things, I want to talk about this.
We've got a coordinate system thingy here now.
So wherever the mouse cursor is, it will display where on the map that is in terms of coordinates.
You can also navigate to a specific set of coordinates.
So if you want to go to the very center of the map, you can 0, 0.
This is, by the way, where all your vehicles will end up if the game bugs out.
They tend to just teleport over there.
We'll fix that bug eventually, hopefully.
But yeah, so this is pretty great if you're playing with someone and they're like, hey, check out that coordinates like 191, 1924, for instance, like you can check out something cool and this is where I'm at or something like that.
You can type it in.
So yeah, very handy.
