Players can have little a map—if they've surveyed the area in-game. This tool renders a composite of player-created map items with the goal of minimizing external effects on survival gameplay.
Design goals:
- Preserve the feeling that the world is large and mysterious.
- Avoid introducing unearned navigational aids.
- Facilitate sharing of geographic knowledge between players, as a treat.
Render a statically servable slippy map from a game save:
