Map

Updated Tested
Changed in The Frontier Update

The world map is a hex atlas. Its key marks your region, the region you selected, visited land, land you have seen but not visited, and unexplored ground. Every named region, with its minimap and walking neighbors, is on the atlas.

The key

The world-map key in the client uses these labels:

KeyMeaning on the map
Your regionWhere you are
Selected regionThe region you picked
VisitedA region you have visited
Seen, not visitedRevealed, not yet walked
UnexploredNot revealed. Drawn with a question mark

A small note under the key says dimmed terrain has not been visited, and that a double-click on a visited region opens its local map. The map graphic is a hexagon.

How you move

Field Guide step seven: use an exit or the world map to travel to a connected zone. The action bar labels M as Travel. Help says M opens the local map, and World opens the atlas. Drag pans, and the scroll wheel zooms. Walking to a region edge travels, and the hint near the edge names the next region.

Coasts and the shared world

The official Explore line names forests, coasts, deserts, and mountains, and says they are one connected world. The Frontier Update listed “New coastal lands” on 2026-10-22. The atlas is the region inventory from the public world graph that day: 326 hexes, each with a biome, a local minimap, and the regions you can walk into. It does not claim a coast was added again on 2026-10-23.

The official Together line says everyone shares the same world. Read that on asciilands.io. The wipe answer is separate, on the FAQ. This page does not say buildings last forever.

Getting Started ends on this step. The atlas is the full region list. Towns is the settlement layer on top of claimed land.
