Your world — UI overview
When you enter a world, you land in the world view. Here's what's on screen.
The Command Deck (bottom of the screen)
Almost everything you do lives in the deck along the bottom, split into three bays.
Left bay — you
- Player portrait — your character's avatar. Click it to open the Atlas.
- Name, level, HP and XP bars — your vitals at a glance.
- Party stack — companion avatars appear beside your frame when you travel together. Click them to start a party conversation.
Centre bay — your actions
Six slots, each with a number key (press 1–6 instead of clicking):
- Quests — Available / Active / Done. A dot appears when something is waiting for you.
- Inventory — your pack, including a quick-heal button for healing items.
- Time — skip ahead deliberately. See Time and weather.
- Where is? — search every character and location in your world, then travel or teleport straight to them (see below).
- Build — worldbuilding tools. See Creating content.
- Settings — opens the Atlas settings.
Right bay — the world
- Settlement name — where you currently are.
- Music — the current track with a speaker/mute icon. Click the track name to open the music player.
- Wallet — your currency balance (gold, dollars, credits, etc. depending on genre). Click for transaction history.
- Day block — the current day number, the clock, and the weather. Click the day to open the Passage of Time panel.
- Sleep — a moon icon appears in the evening; click to sleep until morning.
- Pause / Play — manually pause or resume time and simulation.
In build mode the centre bay is replaced by the build toolbar, and undo / redo / done move into the right bay.
Where is?
The Where is? slot searches every character and location by name. Pick a result to zoom the camera to it, then choose the walking boot to travel there properly, or the paper plane to teleport straight in.
On mobile
There is no deck on phones. Instead:
- A status pill across the top: mute, wallet, your portrait, the day and clock, and pause.
- An icon rail down the top-left: Journal, Build, Where is?, and Buddy.
- The Quests button sits in the top-right corner.
- Panels open as sheets underneath the top row rather than as dropdowns.
Right-edge tabs (desktop)
Four tabs stacked vertically on the right side of the screen:
- Journal — opens the Journal panel
- Atlas — a compass icon; opens the Atlas
- World Building — build tools for placing buildings, drawing settlements, roads, rivers, and stamps. See Creating content
- Buddy — the in-app help assistant; ask it how anything works
Bottom-right controls
- + / − — zoom in and out
- Fit — reset camera to fit the whole map
- 2D / 3D — toggle between isometric perspective and flat top-down view. Your preference is saved per browser.
The hex map
The map fills the center of the screen. See The hex map for camera, walking, and encounters.
In this section
- The hex map — camera, walking, encounters, biomes
