Coming soon: Maps

When you craft a map, you will be able to somehow select how “zoomed in” you want the map to be. It will be centered on the location where you craft it, and it will fill in as you explore the land. If you go outside the edges of the map, it will stop updating, so each map is of a specific area. (like real maps!)

If you drop a map and someone else picks it up, they will be able to see your progress. You will also be able to (somehow) CLONE maps so that two separate map items link to the same map data. That means you can see what other players carrying the same map explores, and both you and them will show up as blinking dots or similar on the maps. They are currently not working in multiplayer though.

Currently, the map will only update if you’re holding it in your hands, but the map will kind of hide away when you’re looking straight forward. To see the map properly, you have to look down.

Anyone excited?

I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED.

The fact that you saw that and felt the need to point it out, leads me to believe that you should just be quiet.

Minimap != Map item.

It doesnt even look like a cock or balls. If your right testicle is that deformed, you have some serious medical issues.

You mind pointing me to who released something remotely close to a map like this? Minimaps are not the same as an in game item. This interacts with the game, and uncovers as you move.

In your rush to continue spamming the same thing over and over, you must have missed the part where I said this was nothing like a minimap.

This has been semi-confirmed for the 1.6, along with an unknown amount of bugfixes (he said he was going from the very large list of bugs, so it could be assumed he plans on fixing a lot) and Shift clicking will automatically put all crafted items into your inventory.
